Horizontal migration of zooplankton in lake–wetland interfaces. Can temperature...
Pereira, Joana Luísa; Lopes, Ana Sofia; Silva, Júlia; Vidal, Tânia; Abrantes, Nelson; Santos, Daniela; Brito, Moisés; Ferreira, Rui M. L.Lake ecology can be affected by exchange flows driven by horizontal temperature gradients in lake–wetland interfaces. In this work, we investigate the hypothesis that thermally driven flows modulate the horizontal migration patterns of freshwater zooplankters. A 48-h field campaign in a shallow lake (Lake Vela, Quiaios, Portugal) was carried out to test this hypothesis. Thermal differences between the littoral ...

Sargento, Ana; Lopes, Ana SofiaThis study examines the impact of different regional determinants on heterogeneous territorial resilience to COVID-19 crisis, highlighting the role of innovation, particularly, the engagement of research and innovation (R&I) entities in networks with businesses. Two OLS models were separately estimated for the resistance and the recovery phases, complemented by a multinomial logistic model, applied to test for ...
NFIXing Cancer: The Role of NFIX in Oxidative Stress Response and Cell Fate
Ribeiro, Vanessa; Martins, Susana G.; Lopes, Ana Sofia; Thorsteinsdottir, Solveig; Zilhão, Rita; Carlos, Ana RitaNFIX, a member of the nuclear factor I (NFI) family of transcription factors, is known to be involved in muscle and central nervous system embryonic development. However, its expression in adults is limited. Similar to other developmental transcription factors, NFIX has been found to be altered in tumors, often promoting pro-tumorigenic functions, such as leading to proliferation, differentiation, and migration...
