The influence of temperature and β-1,3-glucans on the occurrence of white spot syndrome virus and white spot disease in post-larvae of Penaeus vannamei shrimp.

Penaeus vannamei is the main species of shrimp farmed worldwide, and for Ecuador it is the first non-oil economic sector. However, various pathogens, including white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), threaten the sustainability of shrimp farming. P.

Large conductance voltage-and calcium-activated K (BK) channel in health and disease.

Large Conductance Voltage- and Calcium-activated K (BK) channels are transmembrane pore-forming proteins that regulate cell excitability and are also expressed in non-excitable cells. They play a role in regulating vascular tone, neuronal excitability, neurotransmitter release, and muscle contraction. Dysfunction of the BK channel can lead to arterial hypertension, hearing disorders, epilepsy, and ataxia.

Biological response of degradation products of PEO-modified magnesium on vascular tissue cells, hemocompatibility and its influence on the inflammatory response.

Cardiovascular stenting is the most widely used therapy to treat coronary artery disease caused by partial or total obstruction of the artery due to atherosclerotic plaque formation, with potentially fatal effects. There are different types of stents: bare metal stents, drug-eluting stents, bioabsorbable stents and dual therapy stents. However, they can lead to long-term complications, such as in-stent restenosis and late thrombosis.
