Genomics-guided molecular maps of coronavirus targets in human cells: a path toward the repurposing of existing drugs to mitigate the pandemic [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Human genes required for SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells, ACE2 and FURIN, were employed as baits to build genomics-guided maps of up-stream regulatory elements, their expression and functions in human body, including pathophysiologically-relevant cell types.

Calculation of the Sun exposure time for the synthesis of vitamin D in Urcuquí, Ecuador [PDF]

Proceeding of Abstracts of IWBBIO, Francisco Ortu\~no Guzm\'an, Ignacio Rojas Ru\'iz (Comp.), ISBN: 978-84-16929-58-0 (2017), 27, 2017
The synthesis of vitamin D is strongly linked to the availability of solar energy. For a long time, it was clear that using the erythemal irradiances is a good choice to calculate the exposure time. Several authors argue that this method of minimum exposure time overestimates the calculation of the solar irradiance of vitamin D.

Chronic stress may disrupt covariant fluctuations of vitamin D and cortisol plasma levels in pregnant sheep during the last trimester: a preliminary report [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Psychosocial stress during pregnancy is a known contributor to preterm birth, but also has been increasingly appreciated as an in utero insult acting long-term on prenatal and postnatal neurodevelopmental trajectories. These events impact many information molecules, including both vitamin D and cortisol.

Mathematical modelling of the vitamin C clock reaction [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Chemical clock reactions are characterised by a relatively long induction period followed by a rapid `switchover' during which the concentration of a \emph{clock chemical} rises rapidly. In addition to their interest in chemistry education, these reactions are relevant to industrial and biochemical applications. A substrate-depletive, non-autocatalytic

Synthesizing Correlations with Computational Likelihood Approach: Vitamin C Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
It is known that the primary source of dietary vitamin C is fruit and vegetables and the plasma level of vitamin C has been considered a good surrogate biomarker of vitamin C intake by fruit and vegetable consumption. To combine the information about association between vitamin C intake and the plasma level of vitamin C, numerical approximation methods
