Abrogation of mercuric chloride-induced nephritis in the Brown Norway rat by treatment with antibodies against TNFα by A. Molina, F. Sánchez-Madrid, T. Bricio, A. Martín, E. Escudero, V. Alvarez, F. Mampaso

“…The administration of anti-TNF-α antiserum or anti-α4 integrin mAb completely abrogated the synthesis of TNF-α in glomeruli isolated from the respective treated groups of animals, in addition to the proteinuria. Taken together our results confirm that TNF-α plays an important role in the induction and development of HgCl2-induced nephritis and highlights the pathogenic importance of the local release of TNF in those renal diseases in which prominent glomerular macrophage accumulation is a constant feature.…”

Perspectiva agroecológica en el Antropoceno by Miguel Ángel Altieri, Clara Inés Nicholls

“… El objetivo de esta reflexión es mostrar cómo se puede utilizar la agroecología en el desarrollo de un nuevo sistema agrícola post-COVID-19 como alternativa de desarrollo sostenible, revitalizando la agricultura campesina creando sistemas alternativos de producción animal y potencializando la agricultura urbana. Un sistema agrícola basado en la agroecología, es capaz de minimizar las futuras interrupciones generalizadas del suministro de alimentos debido a las pandemias y el cambio climático al mejorar los vínculos entre la producción de alimentos a pequeña escala, el consumo local y proporcionar pautas para la reconstrucción de un sistema agrícola posterior a la COVID-19. …”
