Working group on cephalopod fisheries and life history (Wgceph; outputs from 20...
Abad, Esther; Ainsworth, Gillian; Akselrud, Caitlin; Allcock, Louise; Badouvas, Nicholas; Baker, Krista; Barrett, Christopher; Bobowski, BiancaWGCEPH worked on six Terms of Reference. These involved reporting on the status of stocks; reviewing advances in stock identification, assessment for fisheries management and for the Ma- rine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), including some exploratory stock assessments; re- viewing impacts of human activities on cephalopods; developing identification guides and rec- ommendations for fishery data collection;...
Management for sustainable cephalopod fisheries in Europe: review and recommend...
Pierce, Graham; Abad, Esther; Ainsworth, Gillian; Alcock, Loise; Bobowski, Bianca; Gonzalez, Angel; Gras, Michael; Hendrickson, Lisa; Iriondo, AneAlthough cephalopod fisheries are of world-wide importance, in Europe catching cephalopods is managed only in small-scale fisheries, at national level, and few stocks are formally assessed. Because cephalopods are not quota species under the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy, there is currently no requirement for assessment or management at European level. Given increasing interest in targeting cephalopods in Europe...
Orally active peptide vector allows using cannabis to fight pain while avoiding...
Gallo, Maria; Moreno, Estefanía; Defaus, Sira; Ortega-Alvaro, Antonio; Gonzalez, Angel; Robledo, Patricia; Cavaco, Marco; Neves, VeraThe activation of cannabinoid CB1 receptors (CB1R) by Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main component of Cannabis sativa, induces analgesia. CB1R activation, however, also causes cognitive impairment via the serotonin 5HT2A receptor (5HT2AR), a component of a CB1R–5HT2AR heteromer, posing a serious drawback for cannabinoid therapeutic use. We have shown that peptides reproducing CB1R transmembrane (TM) helice...
A 32-KDa kilodalton hydrolase plays an important role in Paracoccidioides brasi...
Hernández, Orville; Almeida, Agostinho João Ramalho; Gonzalez, Angel; Garcia, Ana Maria; Tamayo, Diana; Cano, L. E.; Restrepo, A.; McEwen, J. G.One of the most crucial events during infection with the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is adhesion to pulmonary epithelial cells, a pivotal step in the establishment of disease. In this study, we have evaluated the relevance of a 32-kDa protein, a putative adhesion member of the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily of hydrolases, in the virulence of this fungus. Protein sequence analyses hav...
Role of iron in the nitric oxide-mediated fungicidal mechanism of IFN-gamma-act...
Gonzalez, Angel; Restrepo, Angela; Cano, Luz E.Iron is an essential growth element of virtually all microorganisms and its restriction is one of the mechanisms used by macrophages to control microbial multiplication. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, an important systemic mycosis in Latin America, is inhibited in its conidia-to-yeast conversion in the absence of iron. We studied the participation of iron in the nitric oxide...
