PMID: 26506839
Genes Nutr. 2015 Nov;10(6):49. doi: 10.1007/s12263-015-0499-6. Epub 2015 Oct 28.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease whose genesis may include metabolic dysregulation. Cancer stem cells are attractive targets for therapeutic interventions since their aberrant expansion may underlie tumor initiation, progression, and recurrence. To investigate the actions of metabolic regulators...

Alterations to oxidative stress markers in dogs after a short-term stress during transport.

Journal of nutritional science

Ferreira CS, Vasconcellos RS, Pedreira RS, Silva FL, Sá FC, Kroll FS, Maria AP, Venturini KS, Carciofi AC.

J Nutr Sci. 2014 Sep 25;3:e27. doi: 10.1017/jns.2014.47. eCollection 2014.

While methods to evaluate antioxidant capacity in animals exist, one problem with the models is induction of oxidative stress. It is necessary to promote a great enough challenge to induce measurable alterations to oxidative parameters while ensuring the protocol...

Zinc-aluminum layered double hydroxides with nitrate intercalated (Zn(n)Al-NO3, n=Zn/Al) is an intermediate material for the intercalation of different functional molecules used in a wide range of industrial applications. The synthesis of Zn(2)Al-NO3 was investigated considering the time and temperature...

Mechanisms Involved in the Improvement of Lipotoxicity and Impaired Lipid Metabolism by Dietary α-Linolenic Acid Rich Salvia hispanica L (Salba) Seed in the Heart of Dyslipemic Insulin-Resistant Rats.

This study explores the mechanisms underlying the altered lipid metabolism in the heart of dyslipemic insulin-resistant (IR) rats fed a sucrose-rich diet (SRD) and investigates if chia seeds (rich in α-linolenic acid 18:3, n-3 ALA) improve/reverse cardiac lipotoxicity. Wistar...

Single nanoparticle tracking of [Formula: see text]-methyl-d-aspartate receptors in cultured and intact brain tissue.

Neurophotonics

Varela JA, Ferreira JS, Dupuis JP, Durand P, Bouchet D, Groc L.

Neurophotonics. 2016 Oct;3(4):041808. doi: 10.1117/1.NPh.3.4.041808. Epub 2016 Jul 12.

Recent developments in single-molecule imaging have revealed many biological mechanisms, providing high spatial and temporal resolution maps of molecular events. In neurobiology, these techniques unveiled that plasma membrane neurotransmitter receptors and transporters laterally diffuse at the surface of cultured...

Early life environmental predictors of asthma age-of-onset.

Immunity, inflammation and disease

Ferry OR, Duffy DL, Ferreira MA.

Immun Inflamm Dis. 2014 Nov;2(3):141-51. doi: 10.1002/iid3.27. Epub 2014 Jul 26.

Prevention strategies that delay the onset of asthma may improve clinical outcomes. To identify early life environmental exposures associated with asthma age-of-onset and potential genetic modifiers of these exposures, we studied 1085 subjects with physician-diagnosed asthma and disease onset...

Squamous cell carcinoma arising from inverted schneiderian papilloma: a case report with oral involvement.

Case reports in otolaryngology

Inverted Schneiderian papilloma is an uncommon benign tumor that presents tendency to recur and propensity to be associated with malignancy in approximately 10% of the cases. Some of these lesions are isolated in the maxillary sinus, and predominantly affect...

Longitudinal evaluation, acceptability and long-term retention of knowledge on a horizontally integrated organic and functional systems course.

Perspectives on medical education

Palha JA, Almeida A, Correia-Pinto J, Costa MJ, Ferreira MA, Sousa N.
PMID: 26228737
Perspect Med Educ. 2015 Aug;4(4):191-5. doi: 10.1007/s40037-015-0195-7.

Undergraduate medical education is moving from traditional disciplinary basic science courses into more integrated curricula. Integration models based on organ systems originated in the 1950s, but few longitudinal studies have evaluated their effectiveness. This article outlines the development and...

Molecular Dynamics Study of the Gold/Ionic Liquids Interface.

The results of a systematic molecular dynamics study of the interfacial structure between the gold (100) surface and two room-temperature ionic liquids, namely, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIm][PF6]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimadazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BMIm][NTf2]), are herein reported. It is found that near an...

Odd-odd deformed proton emitters.
