Global surveillance programs for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are showing the emergence of variants with mutations in spike protein. Genomic and laboratory important to determine if these may be more infectious or less susceptible antiviral treatments vaccine-induced antibodies. Three most predominant SARS-CoV-2 Colombia during epidemiological peaks 2021 were isolated: Mu, a variant interest; Gamma, concern; B.1.111, which lacks genetic markers associated...

Introduction: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been reported to improve cell proliferation and differentiation. The stem cells derived from dental apical papilla (SCAPs) are a promising because they easily obtained immature human teeth. effect of LLLT over SCAPs is still unknown. This study aimed evaluate the osteogenic potential stimulated with LLLT. Methods: were isolated third molars healthy donor characterized according minimum established criteria. cultured for 24 hours before being...

A retrovirus vector was constructed from the genome of avian erythroblastosis virus ES4. The v-erbA sequences were replaced by those coding for neomycin phosphotransferase, creating a gag-neo fusion protein which provides G418 resistance as selectable marker. v-erbB following splice acceptor cloning linker allowing insertion foreign genes. has been tested in conjunction with several helper viruses transmission resistance, titer, stability, transcription, and transduction expression genes...

Abstract To evaluate the osteogenic potential of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on human stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP) we isolated, characterized, then cultured in an medium with PRF and/or LLLT (660 nm, 6 J/m2-irradiation). Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by bone nodule formation expression morphogenetic proteins (BMP-2 BMP-4), whereas molecular mechanisms were achieved qRT-PCR RNA-seq analysis. Statistical analysis performed ANOVA Tukey’s post...

Dengue and Zika are two mosquito-borne diseases of great impact on public health around the world in tropical subtropical countries. DENV ZIKV belong to Flaviviridae family Flavivirus genus. Currently, there no effective therapeutic agents treat or prevent these pathologies. The main objective this work was evaluate potential inhibitors from active compounds obtained Marcetia taxifolia by performing inverse molecular docking ZIKV-NS3-helicase ZIKV-NS5-RNA polymerase as targets. This...

Gingival recession (GR) can cause aesthetic and functional problems. Using connective tissue graft (CTG) coronally advanced flap (CAF) is considered the technique of choice for treating GR. Considering morbidity resulting from taking CTG, different alternative biomaterials have been described, including plasma-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane. Studies in lower teeth are few because complexity factors that influence obtaining less predictable outcomes. Objective. To compare between CAF + PRF CTG...

The chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has produced epidemic outbreaks of significant public health impact. clinical symptoms this disease are fever, polyarthralgia, and skin rash, generally self-limiting, although patients may develop a chronic disabling condition or suffer lethal complications. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment vaccine available. Thus, the search for effective therapies to control CHIKV infection an urgent need. This study evaluated antiviral activity flavonoids...

Several SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) and interest (VOI) co-circulate in Colombia, determining the neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses is useful to improve efficacy COVID-19 vaccination programs. Thus, nAb against isolates from lineages B.1.111, P.1 (Gamma), B.1.621 (Mu), AY.25.1 (Delta), BA.1 (Omicron), were evaluated serum samples immunologically naïve individuals between 9 13 weeks after receiving complete regimens CoronaVac, BNT162b2, ChAdOx1, or Ad26.COV2.S, using...

<strong>Platelets were the last to be discovered of</strong> three formed blood elements. Several scientists have been interested in them, recognizing them as cells other than leukocytes and erythrocytes. Its job hemostasis thrombosis is currently known. Platelets contain growth factors secrete cytokines, which roles inflammation tissue regeneration processes. This why platelet concentrates widely used regenerative medicine, an emerging field that involves biomolecules, cells,...
