🌋Ante la caída de ceniza por la actividad volcánica del #Popocatépetl, exhortamos a las y los poblanos que viven en municipios aledaños al volcán a utilizar cubrebocas y evitar la exposición al aire libre para prevenir enfermedades respiratorias. 😷

🚦Hasta el momento el semáforo de alertamiento permanece en Amarillo Fase 2.

👉🏼Recuerden estar pendientes de las recomendaciones de la Coordinación General de Protección Civil del Estado de Puebla y de nuestro Gobernador, Sergio Salomón Céspedes Peregrina.

Los trastornos metabólicos🩺son un problema de salud global de gran importancia debido a su incidencia y prevalencia en aumento. Las mitocondrias desempeñan un papel fundamental en la producción de energía celular🧫; por ello, en condiciones fisiológicas la transferencia mitocondrial contribuye a la homeostasis y el desarrollo tisular. En diversos tipos de cáncer, el transporte mitocondrial vía nanotubos es un enfoque terapéutico prometedor, lo cual discutimos en nuestro •International Journal Club• tras la reciente publicación en Cell que encontrarán en el siguiente link:

The information stored within our chromosomes can be likened to an instruction manual for all cells in the body. Every cell contains the same chromosomes, so every cell contains exactly the same set of genes and exactly the same set of instructions, yet different cell types, such as muscle and nerve cells, have very distinct characteristics.

This year’s medicine laureates have revealed how these differences arise and how cells ‘read’ only relevant instructions through a process called gene regulation.

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun discovered microRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules that plays a crucial role in gene regulation. It is now known that the human genome codes for over one thousand microRNAs.

The new laureates’ surprising discovery revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation. MicroRNAs are proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function.
