Junin virus‐induced astrocytosis is impaired by iNOS inhibition
Journal of Medical Virology, 2002 AbstractBecause Junin virus (JV) experimental encephalitis of mice and rats is characterized by mild histopathological changes that do not seem to justify per se lethality after intracerebral infection, such a murine model seems adequate to investigate the potential role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) as a pathogenic factor. Concomitant with

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

Analysis of the Cell Type-Dependence on the Arenavirus Z-Mediated Virus-Like Particle Production
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Several arenaviruses are highly pathogenic to humans, causing hemorrhagic fever. Discovery of anti-arenavirus drug candidates is urgently needed, although the molecular basis of the host- and organ-specific pathogenicity remains to be fully elucidated ...

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
