Identification of SOD1 Gene Variants in Mexican Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing, fatal neurodegenerative disorder that selectively affects motor neurons. Clinical manifestations include progressive muscle weakness, amyotrophy, fasciculations, dysphagia, and fatal respiratory failure. The median sur...

First Reported Human Case of Primary Lymphocutaneous Nocardiosis Caused by Nocardia shinanonensis

Nocardia species are ubiquitous environmental microorganisms that can cause localized cutaneous, pulmonary or disseminated infections in humans. Primary cutaneous nocardiosis is uncommon and may present as cellulitis, abscesses, ulcers, granulomas or lymphocutaneous disease chara...

Modulating Access: Contributions From Latin America to the Study of Mobility and Care in the Urban Periphery

ABSTRACT This article examines theoretical and methodological innovations from Latin America in the study of urban mobility, exploring the relationship between access and care as experienced by domestic workers living in mass social housing projects on the outskirts of Mexico Cit...

Influence of functional traits and trait syndromes on the vulnerability of amphibians and reptiles in the tropical dry forest of Oaxaca, Mexico

Abstract Tropical dry forests are among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide, yet their biodiversity remains understudied compared to humid tropical forests. We integrated functional trait ecology with environmental vulnerability assessments to evaluate multi‑causal disturban...

Nutritional Programming via Maternal Protein Restriction Mitigates Long-Term Consequences of Acute Kidney Injury

The kidney is highly sensitive to prenatal and early-life environmental influences. Maternal protein restriction (MPR) can alter renal development and may modify susceptibility to chronic kidney disease (CKD) following acute kidney injury (AKI). We investigated whether MPR during...

Click Bioconjugation of Aza‐BODIPY Fluorophores to LfcinB Peptides for Improved Biocompatibility

Near‐infrared (NIR) organic fluorophores have emerged as promising for biomedical imaging and theragnostics, offering deep‐tissue penetration and reduced background interference. However, poor aqueous solubility and limitations in photostability, biocompatibility, and targeting h...

Genomic insights into the metabolic complementarity of a synthetic marine consortium for hydrocarbon degradation in coastal sand microcosms

Microbial consortia are essential for the degradation of complex hydrocarbon mixtures in coastal environments, yet the functional basis of consortium performance rarely resolved at strain level. In this study, we employed a Plackett–Burman experimental design to rationally assemb...

Stereolithography-fabricated polymer composites reinforced with Agave angustifolia Haw bagasse fibers and MWCNTs for PEMFC bipolar plates

The present work investigates novel composites fabricated via stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing, consisting of an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)-like photopolymer matrix reinforced with Agave angustifolia Haw bagasse fibers (AFs) and multi-walled carbon nanotu...

Low-Pt Pt/NiMo-C catalysts for high-performance hydrogen evolution in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis

The development of electrocatalysts with reduced platinum-group-metal content is crucial for advancing anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). Here, platinum was incorporated into a carbon-supported NiMo-derived catalyst via impregnation and reductive thermal treatmen...

A note on higher coherence of graphs of groups

Abstract For n ∈ N n\in\mathbb{N} , a group is called 𝑛-coherent if every subgroup of type F n \mathsf{F}_{n} is of type F n + 1 \mathsf{F}_{n+1} . For n ≥ 1 n\geq 1 , we observe that graphs of groups with 𝑛-coherent vertex groups and virtually poly-cyclic edge groups are 𝑛-coher...

Metáforas de la Comunicación Organizacional en la Academia Latinoamericana: Un Diálogo Norte-Sur

Teniendo en cuenta la existencia de una episteme latinoamericana en el ámbito de la comunicación, caracterizada por un pensamiento crítico y una perspectiva subalternizada, y respondiendo a las llamadas a la descolonización de este campo, proponemos, en este ensayo, propiciar un...

Long-term diatom response to anthropogenic stressors in a Neotropical lake

Understanding tropical lake ecosystem responses to anthropogenic disturbance over long timescales is critical for assessing resistance, resilience, and regime shifts; however, such perspectives are rare in the Neotropics. We combined paleolimnological, limnological, and remote-se...

Determinants of Abl kinase stability and drug binding thermodynamics: Role of regulatory domains and phosphorylation

Abstract Activity dysregulation of Abl kinase is the primary cause for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Despite extensive characterization, the thermodynamic basis of Abl stability and inhibitor recognition remains incompletely understood. To characterize the cooperative folding o...

Physicochemical, Mechanical and Biological Characterization of a PCL/PLA-Based Biocomposite for Potential Dental Post Applications in Primary Teeth

Early childhood caries frequently affects maxillary anterior primary teeth, and their rehabilitation remains a clinical challenge due to the lack of suitable resorbable intracanal posts. This study aimed to develop and characterize a biodegradable polymer-ceramic biomaterial for...

Far-Field Tsunami Observations of the 29 July 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake and Comparison with other Far-Field Tsunamis on the Mexican Pacific Coast

The Mw8.8 Kamchatka earthquake occurred offshore southern Kamchatka on July 29, 2025, generating a tsunami that propagated across the Pacific Ocean and produced a measurable sea-level disturbance along the Mexican Pacific coast. In this study, we analyze tide-gauge records along...

Synthesis and characterization of polymer networks obtained by conventional radical and RAFT copolymerization processes in supercritical carbon dioxide

Abstract The syntheses of net ‐poly((2‐hydroxyethylene methacrylate)‐ co ‐(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)), abbreviated as net ‐poly(HEMA‐ co ‐EGDMA), by conventional (FRP) and reversible addition‐ fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical copolymerizations using supercritical...

Public Health Policy Responses to Population Aging in Mexico: A Rights-Based and Socio-Legal Approach

Background/Objectives: Population aging represents a major social and public health challenge in Latin America. Mexico has made significant advances in regulatory and policy frameworks. Notable progress includes accession to the Inter-American Convention on Protecting the Human R...

Ancient DNA preservation in the Caribbean

Abstract Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis has transformed how we study human migration, species dispersals and environmental change, but poor preservation remains a major challenge. This is especially true in tropical settings, where hot and humid conditions accelerate DNA decay. Beca...

Dust Substructures and Line Perturbations driven by a Forming Planet in J16120

Abstract Hints of planet formation have been independently reported within the gap of the disc around 2MASS J16120668-301027 from millimetre continuum, infrared, and Hα observations. In this work, we present new evidence for ongoing planet formation based on Atacama Large Millime...

Complex Thinking as a Predictor of Anxiety Symptoms in Medical Students

Abstract Introduction Medical training is associated with a high prevalence of anxiety symptoms that escalate with curricular advancement. Complex thinking has been proposed as a protective cognitive skill; however, its predictive capacity and evolution throughout training remain...
