LIFE INVASAQUA - AQUATIC INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES OF FRESHWATER AND ESTUARINE SYS...
Oliva-Paterna, F.; Olivo del Amo, R.; López-Cañizares, C.; Guillén-Beltrán, A.; Torralva, M.; Anastácio, Pedro; Banha, Filipe; Brandão, PedroThe Spanish and Portuguese societies have a limited understanding of the threats posed by invasive alien species (IAS) in aquatic ecosystems. This gap of knowledge and awareness about IAS problems hampers any policy proposed by administrations and stakeholders, contributing to missing an IAS management strategy. We present the actions, main results and some learned lessons achieved in the Environmental Governan...

Targeting Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR-2): Latest Insig...
Marques, Carolina S.; Brandão, Pedro; Burke, Anthony J.Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is a crucial mediator of angiogene- sis, playing a pivotal role in both normal physiological processes and cancer progression. Tumors harness VEGFR-2 signaling to promote abnormal blood vessel growth, which is a key step in the metastasis process, making it a valuable target for anticancer drug development. While there are VEGFR-2 inhibitors approved for t...
First records of Mauremys sinensis in Portugal: a consequence of inadequate pol...
Banha, Filipe Miguel Santos; Anastácio, Pedro; Rato, João; Brandão, PedroCommercial success of a pet species predicts its invasiveness, making the most traded species more likely to become introduced. Turtles are among the most traded species, making it critical to monitor their introduction, and in Portugal several invasive turtle species have been detected in nature. This study reports the first official record of Mauremys sinensis and lists its unofficial records in Portugal. Thi...
Splenic artery aneurysms – a systematic review of the literature
Machado, Marta; Coelho, Andreia; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Boal, Roberto; Basílio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, BeatrizINTRODUCTION: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the most frequent (50 to 75%) abdominal visceral arterial aneurysms. In autopsy studies, the overall incidence is 0.01%, increasing to 10.4% with age. Due to their rarity, there is a lack of data, so we aimed to perform a systematic review of available SAA data. METHODS: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was...

Inhalable N-acetylcysteine-loaded lactose-coated PLGA nanoparticles for tubercu...
Chaudhary, Kabi Raj; Mestre Viegas, Cláudia Sofia; Pirela, Paola; Atalaia, Mariana; Ruivinho, Beatriz Lourenço; Arora, Sanchit; Singh, ArtiObjective Glutathione (GSH), known for having mucolytic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, is used in clinical practice in several pathologies, including tuberculosis (TB). N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been primarily used to treat lung conditions and paracetamol-induced liver toxicity. However, NAC exhibits potential antimycobacterial activity through several mechanisms including immunomodulation, en...

The Asymmetric Petasis Borono-Mannich Reaction: Insights on the Last 15 Years
Marques, Carolina; Brandão, PedroThe Petasis borono-Mannich reaction, commonly described as the Petasis reaction, was one of the latest famous multicomponent reactions described in the literature. Currently celebrating its 30th anniversary since it was first reported by Petasis and Akritopoulou in 1993, this reaction has emerged as a powerful tool for the synthesis of biologically relevant molecules (such as substituted amines or amino acids),...
