Nutritional Approaches in Neurodegenerative Disorders: A Mini Scoping Review wi...
Ribeiro, Paulo Renato; Ferreira, Carmen; Antunes, Carlos; Dias, Gonçalo; Cunha Silva Reis Lima, Maria Joao; de Pinho Ferreira Guiné, RaquelBackground: Neurodegenerative diseases, including spastic paraplegia type 11 (SPG11), are complex disorders characterized by progressive neurological decline and significant metabolic disturbances. Spatacsin, the protein encoded by the SPG11 gene, plays a critical role in autophagy and lysosomal homeostasis, which are essential for neuronal health. Its impairment leads to defective cellular clearance and neurod...

Comparative analysis of bee pollen quality following different storage techniques
Anjos, O.; Seixas, Natália; Antunes, Carlos; Campos, Maria da Graça; Paula, Vanessa; Estevinho, Leticia M.Bee pollen is aknowledged as a versatile natural food valued for its nutritional and medicinal benefits, attributed to its rich chemical composition boasting notable bioactivities like antioxidant and antimicrobial.
Interspecific differences in the physiological condition of native freshwater m...
Modesto, Vanessa; Ilarri, Martina; Castro, Paulo S.; Carvalho, Francisco; Cavalheri, Thais; Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Teixeira, Amílcar; Ozório, Rodrigo O.A.The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea has been widely introduced into aquatic ecosystems and may impact the physiological condition and survival of native freshwater mussels. However, very few studies have evaluated this issue quantitatively. To fill this gap, manipulative field experiments were performed to assess two possible mechanisms of impact on native mussels: (i) interspecific interactions, and (ii) C. flum...

Inquérito aos Pescadores Profissionais de Peixes Anádromos no Troço Internacion...
Yorgos Stratoudakis; Antunes, CarlosThis report describes the fieldwork and summarizes the results of a questionnaire survey that was performed with fishers for anadromous species in the international segment of river Minho/Miño (TIRM) during 2021. The main survey objective was to obtain and systematize individual fisher opinions in relation to a proposal of spatial reorganization of the anadromous fishing activity in TIRM. It was also seen as an...

40 years of changes in sea surface temperature along the Western Iberian Coast
Biguino, Beatriz; Antunes, Carlos; Lamas, Luísa; Jenkins, Luke J.; Dias, João Miguel; Haigh, Ivan D.; Brito, Ana C.Climate change is causing mean sea surface temperatures (SST) to increase worldwide. However, this increase has not been temporally or spatially uniform, with variations observed depending both on the period considered and the geographic region. In this context, this paper aims to quantify relevant changes in SST along the Western Iberian Coast over the last four decades, through the calculation of trends and a...
Stability of hybrid versus vaccine immunity against BA.5 infection over 8 months
Malato, João; Ribeiro, Ruy; Fernandes, Eugénia; Leite, Pedro Pinto; Casaca, Pedro; Antunes, Carlos; Fonseca, Valter R; Gomes, MC; Graca, LuisThe coverage of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in large parts of the world, together with the high number of breakthrough infections, especially following the emergence of Omicron subvariants, makes hybrid immunity (resulting from vaccine and infection) common. Hybrid immunity, particularly after BA.1 or BA.2 infection, confers substantial protection against the BA.5 infection. However, although the waning of protectio...
The benthic food web connects the estuarine habitat mosaic to adjacent ecosystems
Dias, Ester; Morais, Pedro; Antunes, Carlos; Hoffman, Joel C.Energy flows from land to sea and between pelagic and benthic environments have the potential to increase the connectivity between estuaries and adjacent ecosystems as well as among estuarine habitats. To identify such energy flows and the main trophic pathways of energy transfer in the Minho River estuary, we investigated the spatial and temporal fluctuations of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in ben...
