Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent childhood malignancy. In the effort to find new anti-leukemic agents, we evaluated the small drug SB225002 (N-(2-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl)-N'-(2-bromophenyl)urea). Although initially described as a selective antagonist of CXCR2, later studies have identif...
High density genotyping panels have been used in a wide range of applications. From population genetics to genome-wide association studies, this technology still offers the lowest cost and the most consistent solution for generating SNP data. However, in spite of the application, part...
Providing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to insects has been proven to silence target genes, and this approach has emerged as a potential method to control agricultural pests by engineering plants to express insect dsRNAs. A critical step of this technology is the screening of effecti...
In the brain, the type II nuclear receptors LXR and PPAR control cholesterol efflux and inflammation, key processes in Alzheimer disease pathology. Results: Combining the LXR and PPAR agonists decreases the levels of A and inflammation, resulting in improved cognition. Conclusion: The L...
Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in the world, but its appearance is still unpredictable and its pathophysiology has not been entirely elucidated. Genetic studies have associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding nitri...
O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a estrutura latente da depressão em uma amostra não clínica de idosos, utilizando a análise taxométrica. Essa análise é uma família de procedimentos estatísticos concebidos para testar se um determinado construto é mais bem representado por categor...
