Metabolic control of T cell immune response through glycans in inflammatory bow...
Dias, Ana M.; Correia, Alexandra; Pereira, Márcia S.; Almeida, Catarina R.; Alves, Inês; Pinto, Vanda; Catarino, Telmo A.; Mendes, NunoMucosal T lymphocytes from patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) were previously shown to display a deficiency in branched N-glycosylation associated with disease severity. However, whether this glycosylation pathway shapes the course of the T cell response constituting a targeted-specific mechanism in UC remains largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that metabolic supplementation of ex vivo mucosal T...
Composition and in vitro antioxidants activity of Chamaerops humilis L.
Coelho, Jose; Veiga, Jerson G.; Elvas Leitao, Ruben; Brigas, Amadeu F.; Dias, Ana M.; Oliveira, Maria ConceiçãoThe aim of this work is to evaluate the polyphenols composition and the antioxidant activity of methanol extracts of Chamaerops humilis L. Methanol extracts from dried leaves of Chamaerops humilis were prepared using Soxhlet extraction and examined as potential sources of phenolic compounds. Different methods were used to evaluate antioxidant activity of the extracts, including colored (ABTS*+), DPPH radical sc...

Structure of late summer phytoplankton community in the Firth of Lorn (Scotland...
C. Brito, Ana; Sá, Carolina; Mendes, Carlos R.; Brand, Tim; Dias, Ana M.; Brotas, Vanda; Davidson, KeithThe Firth of Lorn is at the mouth of one of Scotland's largest fjordic sea lochs, Loch Linnhe. This sea loch, which is fed by a number of other inner lochs, supplies a significant flow of freshwater, which frequently causes the stratification of the water column. To investigate how environmental conditions influence the spatial distribution of phytoplankton in this region water samples were collected for phytop...
