Andean Lima Bean Ecology and Its Potential Contribution to Food Security
Legume Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2024.ABSTRACT The Andean lima bean (ALB) (Phaseolus lunatus L.), also known as “Pallar” in Peru, is a large, semi‐flat, kidney‐shaped rarely investigated legume. This ancestral legume lacks in‐depth scientific reports and is mainly cultivated in the coastal region of the Ica valley. Its consumption dates back to ancient times, as evidenced by archaeological

Involvement of the cytoskeleton in Junin virus multiplication.
Journal of General Virology, 1999 The role of the cellular cytoskeleton in Junin virus (JV) infection was explored in two ways. Firstly, the action of inhibitors that affect individual cytoskeletal systems (microtubules or microfilaments) selectively was analysed. It was found that perturbations of microtubule or microfilament networks caused by colchicine, nocodazole, nifedipine, EGTA

Prevalence and Incidence of Parkinson's Disease in Latin America: A Meta‐Analysis
Movement Disorders, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 105-118, January 2024.Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a rapidly growing neurodegenerative disorder, but up‐to‐date epidemiological data are lacking in Latin America. We sought to estimate the prevalence and incidence of PD and parkinsonism in Latin America. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and

[Inhibition of Junin virus multiplication by caffeine].
Revista Argentina de microbiologia, 1999 The inhibitory activity of caffeine, a pharmacologically active compound, on Junin virus (JV) multiplication in Vero cells was evaluated by a virus yield inhibition assay. The compound achieved a dose-dependent inhibition of virus production at concentrations not affecting cell viability.
