Bdnf-NRF2 crosstalk in depression disorder
Santos, Marlene; Caldevilla, Renato; Morais, Stephanie; Carvalho, Serafim; Medeiros, Rui; Barroso, Maria FátimaThe World Health Organization estimates that major depressive disorder (MDD) affects over 264 million individuals globally, posing a significant public health challenge. Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) represents a severe form of MDD with poor treatment outcomes. Genetic variations are known to impact MDD treatment responses, yet genome-wide association studies have struggled to identify consistent marker ...
Design and Optimization of an Electrochemical Genosensing Platform for BDNF Val...
Caldevilla, Renato; Santos, Marlene; Barroso, M. FátimaBackground: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating and highly prevalent psychiatric illness. Antidepressant drugs (AD) have remained the main pharmacological treatment for this condition, and since their discovery and despite their high efficacy, insufficient remission rates and treatment-resistant depression remain a cause of concern for clinicians. The BDNF gene is an extensively studied gene rega...

Santos, Marlene; Caldevilla, Renato; Grosso, Clara; Simal-Gandara, J.; Molina, Patricia G.; Pinto, Giovanny R.; Villa, Cristian C.; Serra, GloriaThe GenoPsySEN thematic network is a newly CYTED approved collaborative project between institutions and investigators from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Spain, Paraguay, Portugal, and Uruguay, aimed at incorporating their expertise in various scientific disciplines into the successful development of genosensors for the detection of genetic variations affecting drug response in neuropsychiat...
Is there a link between NRF2 and depression?
Santos, Marlene; Fonseca, Débora; Caldevilla, Renato; Barroso, M. Fátima; Cruz, AgostinhoDepression is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Recent studies have highlighted the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of depression. NRF2 is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in cellular defense against oxidative stress by binding to antioxidant response elements (AREs) located in the promoter region of various phase II antioxid...
Design of an electrochemical genosensor for the BDNF gene polymorphism sequence...
Caldevilla, Renato; Morais, Stephanie; Carvalho, Serafim; Medeiros, Rui; Delerue-Matos, Cristina; Cruz, Agostinho; Santos, Marlene; Barroso, M. FátimaThe BDNF gene is associated with high degrees of variability in antidepressant treatments. The Val66Met polymorphism is widely known as a source of this variability, warranting growing interest in genotyping patients that undergo antidepressant treatment to better suit their needs. This paper reports on an electrochemical genosensing platform, based on gold electrodes, capable of detecting this polymorphism, th...
Avaliação in vitro da segurança do extrato etanólico da Adansonia digitata em c...
Santos, Daniela; Carvalho, Daniel; Rente, Ana; Silva, Jorge; Caldevilla, Renato; Cardoso, Andreia; Oliveira, Ana Isabel; Pinho, CláudiaO baobá (Adonsonia digatata) é uma árvore nativa de África, pertencente à família Bombacaceae e ao género Adansonia. É utilizada na medicina tradicional africana para o tratamento de diversas doenças devido às suas atividades anti-inflamatórias, antioxidantes e antimicrobianas, tendo atraído o interesse da indústria farmacêutica. Com base na eficácia de diversos extratos de A. digitata, tem sido colocada a hipó...
Avaliação da atividade antioxidante do extrato etanólico da Adansonia digitata
Santos, Daniela; Carvalho, Daniel; Rente, Ana; Silva, Jorge; Caldevilla, Renato; Cardoso, Andreia; Oliveira, Ana Isabel; Pinho, CláudiaO Baobá (Adansonia digitata) é uma planta africana usada na medicina tradicional devido às suas propriedades antioxidantes, resultante da sua composição em compostos fenólicos, que desempenham um papel importante na prevenção de doenças associadas ao stress oxidativo. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a atividade antioxidante do extrato etanólico de A. digitata. Estudo experimental com análise do ex...
Construction and optimization of an electrochemical genosensor for the detectio...
Caldevilla, Renato; Santos, Marlene; Barroso, M. FátimaMajor depression disorder (MDD) is the most prevalent psychiatric condition worldwide. Currently, antidepressants constitute the main pharmacological treatment for this condition. Despite the growing arsenal of antidepressant medications, almost half of MDD patients have insufficient remission rates during their treatments. A growing body of scientific evidence points to genetic factors as having a crucial role...
Electrochemical chemically based sensors and emerging enzymatic biosensors for ...
Caldevilla, Renato; Morais, Stephanie L.; Cruz, Agostinho; Delerue-Matos, Cristina; Moreira, Fernando; Pacheco, João G.; Santos, MarleneMajor depressive disorder is a widespread condition with antidepressants as the main pharmacological treatment. However, some patients experience concerning adverse reactions or have an inadequate response to treatment. Analytical chromatographic techniques, among other techniques, are valuable tools for investigating medication complications, including those associated with antidepressants. Nevertheless, there...
