Antimicrobial peptides (AP) are important components of the eukaryotic innate immune response. They have effects on the plasmatic membranes (PM) of bacteria, fungi and mammalian cells. Plant defensins (PD) are an AP group ...

Oxidative stress refers to a condition in which the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) surpasses the capacity of antioxidant cellular defenses. This causes alterations in the structure and function of biomolecules ...

Milking industry is one of the main economical activities in Michoacán. However, important losses have been quantified due to bovine mastitis. Dissemination of Staphylococcus aureus is considered a public health problem ...

The transcription factor Nrf2 is essential to decrease the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the inflammatory response caused by tissue damage, due to oxidative stress. The disrupt of interaction ...

Strains of Staphylococcus spp. used in this work were obtained from cases of bovine mastitis in dairy backyard systems. Dichotomous data base, in order to determine the biological risk factors and relation of multi-resistance ...

The functions of different types of cells that constitute a multicellular organism are regulated by signal transduction pathways, whose final goal is target genes regulation. The Notch signaling pathway is mainly involved ...

Inflammation is the main mechanism of the innate immune system against the harmful effects of pathogenic microorganisms. Although inflammation is considered a physiological response that is critical to protect and restore ...

Endothelial cells have a key role in the inflammatory response. Different approaches in vitro have demonstrated that endothelial cells can be invaded by many microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus. In this work we ...
