Abstract The rent gap theory, a consistent explanation of gentrification in inner‐city spaces, sees growing disparity between capitalized ground (CGR) and potential (PGR) as catalyst for large‐scale property reinvestment thence gentrification. In historical working‐class Santiago's peri‐centre (inner city), not only is there measurable gap, but state‐subsidized market high‐density urban renewal based on the accumulation increased CGR by few developers. This article focuses low‐income...

Abstract Protein Kinase (casein kinase 2, CK2) is a serine-threonine that frequently dysregulated in many human tumors. Therefore we hypothesized peptides capable of binding to the CK2 acidic domain may exhibit potential anticancer properties. By screening random cyclic peptide phage display library, have identified novel peptide, P15, abrogated phosphorylation by blocking substrate vitro. To verify its antineoplastic effect, P15 was fused cell-penetrating derived from HIV-Tat protein....

Between 2000 and 2012, the Santa Isabel area of Santiago-Centro comuna (municipal district) saw increasing capital concentration in middle-income-oriented, new-build real estate. Whilst large developers devised several ways to pay low land prices original owner-residents, average sale price new apartments rose, reducing amount housing options by at least 50% for low-income residents—a form exclusionary displacement. In parallel, state regulations intensified Floor Area Ratio order anchor...

In order explore proposal, offer definition and key dimensions based on three components: place attachment, local relations commitment common good. We test our proposal highly segregated Latin American city: Santiago, Chile. A combination survey data georeferenced information...

Abstract This study examined if a series of epidermal growth factor (EGF) local infiltrations can enhance the healing process complicated diabetic wounds. Twenty‐nine in‐hospital patients with neuropathic or ischaemic lesions high risk amputation were treated in non controlled pilot conducted at National Institute Angiology, Havana. Lesions, classified as Wagner’s grade 3 4, included ulcers ≥20 cm 2 for ≥25 days residual bases ≥30 ≥15 days, refractory despite comprehensive wound care. EGF...

Se plantea la existencia de una forma particular 'gentrificación por desposesión renta suelo' en Chile, resultante interacción entre estrategias estatales pro-mercado (entrepreneurial urbanism), regulaciones urbanas locales que aumentan rentas potenciales suelo, y devaluación del espacio construido a través políticas públicas limitan renovación urbana baja escala. Como resultado, los propietarios residentes – cerca 80% habitantes peri-central popular (inner city) Santiago encuentran...

Diabetic foot ulcer is a principal diabetic complication. It has been shown that patients have decreased growth factor concentrations in their tissues, particularly epidermal factor. Growth shortage impairs wound healing, which leads to chronic nonhealing wounds and sometimes eventual amputation. Ischemic the most difficult treat confers highest amputation risk.

Developed during the Second World War, 'three-sector theory' popularized notion of 'services' sector. It has quietly underpinned understandings economic structure ever since. The limitations and influence this basic breakdown have led to many critiques extensions, but no replacements. Inspired by Henri Lefebvre's Urban Revolution (1968), we develop a four-sector model that replaces services with sectors focused on urbanization control. We argue is better reflection material life, more useful...

Drawing on survey of 746 original households, this article finds 40 per cent low-income owner-residents do not have the chance purchase new replacement accommodation using portion rent they capture after selling their land developers. Whilst sale price apartments rises, particular type blockbusting limits choices residents at good or staying put. The ratio between...
