The rapid availability of effective antiviral treatments would be beneficial during the early phases a pandemic, as they could reduce viral loads and control serious infections until antigenic vaccines become widely available. One promising alternative therapy to combat pandemics is nanotechnology, which has potential inhibit wide variety viruses, including influenza virus. This review summarizes recent progress using gold, copper, silver, silicone, zinc selenium nanoparticles, since these...
Lake Cajititlán is a small, shallow, subtropical lake located in an endorheic basin western Mexico. It characterized by strong seasonality of climate with pronounced wet and dry seasons has been classified as hypereutrophic lake. This eutrophication was driven improperly treated sewage discharges from four municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) excessive agricultural activities, including the overuse fertilizers that reach through surface runoff during rainy season. nutrient rich...
Sustainable waste management is a key component needed to achieve multiple of the Development Goals established by United Nations for year 2030. Such can reduce degradation superficial water sources and contribute sustainable efficient use resources. Due their usually high nutrient organic loads, agro-industrial wastes pose threat soil resources are major contributor greenhouse gas generation. In this study, novel approach was proposed assess environmental sustainability vinasse practices,...
During the transition from seed to seedling, emerging embryos strategically balance available resources between building up defenses against environmental threats and initiating developmental program that promotes switch autotrophy. We present evidence of a critical role for phenylalanine (Phe) biosynthetic activity AROGENATE DEHYDRATASE3 (ADT3) in coordinating reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis cotyledon development etiolated Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seedlings. show ADT3 is...
A large percentage of world's eutrophication is attributed to the livestock industry, which responsible for producing over 14% global anthropogenic greenhouse gasses emissions (GHG). In Mexico, very few producers have necessary infrastructure treat their waste (LW) and most fail comply with environmental regulations. The treatment LW through a circular bioeconomy approach can mitigate these negative impacts, while simultaneously value-added products. present work aimed characterize spatial...
Pirins are cupin-fold proteins, implicated in apoptosis and cellular stress eukaryotic organisms. Pirin1 (PRN1) plays a role seed germination transcription of light- ABA-regulated gene under specific conditions the model plant system Arabidopsis thaliana. Herein, we describe that PRN1 possesses previously unreported functions can profoundly affect early growth, development, responses. In vitro-translated quercetinase activity. When was incubated with G-protein-α subunit (GPA1) inactive...
Most of the municipal solid waste (MSW) in developing countries ends up landfills. For example, more than 95% MSW generated Latin America is disposed some type landfill. Factors such as high organic compositions, low recycling rates and poor control over disposal sites greatly increase environmental impacts associated with management this region, resulting increased emissions greenhouse gases (GHGs) runoff leachates. Therefore, local governments are making efforts to transition “circular”...
World hunger, food insecurity and climate change are some of the most complex problems related to systems, there is an urgency reform these systems with long-term sustainability in mind. The minimization loss (FL) one main contemporary challenges required achieve security a sustainable system. Information about FL primary production developing countries scarce, yet it precisely that have less support preventing FL. research herein focuses on estimating characterizing its causes agricultural...
Commonly called the Mexican prickly poppy, Argemone mexicana is a stress-resistant member of Papaveraceae family plants that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries by indigenous communities Mexico and Western parts United States. This plant exploited to treat wide variety ailments, with reported antimicrobial antioxidant properties, as well cytotoxic effects against some human cancer cell lines. Due its various therapeutic uses abundance secondary metabolites, A. great potential...
The Tequila industry is a major producer of wastewater in the state Jalisco, Mexico. vinasses (TV) are residue from distillation fermented agave wort during tequila production. TV difficult to treat due their high organic content, nutrient loads, acidic pH and discharge temperature. frequently released into waterbodies or soil without any treatment, leading environmental degradation water sources. To reduce impact industry, cost-effective revalorization approaches must be developed. goals...
The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a complex and expensive task. This especially the case in developing countries, where generation rates are continuously increasing current MSW strategies focused on inadequate practices, such as landfilling incineration, which result numerous health environmental problems. anaerobic digestion (AD) has been implemented worldwide solution to decrease amount ending up landfills. process allows for recovery energy from organic fraction (OFMSW)...
Lake Cajititlán is a subtropical and endorheic lake, which heavily impacted by nutrient pollution. Agricultural runoff poorly treated wastewater have entered this reservoir at alarming rates during past rainy seasons, causing the cultural eutrophication of body water resulting in several massive fish kill events. In study, shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to examine taxonomic functional structure microbial communities season. Several quality features their interactions with were also...
Background In Mexico, the undergraduate curriculum in biological, biomedical and related sciences only gives hands-on experience 2D cell culture due to its low cost ease of implementation. These traditional lecture-based courses are often limited routine learning methods fail demonstrate alternative strategies that would be needed realistically mimic processes occurring within human body used solve relevant medical problems. The use 3D culture, on other hand, makes it possible recreate a...
