MyVet and MyDoc - a laboratory in your phone
Barroso, Teresa; Martins, RuiBackground: Quantifying erythrocytes and leukocytes is crucial in veterinary diagnostics. Traditional methods like flow cytometry, laser scattering, and impedance detection, while accurate, require significant sample volumes and complex preparation. Emerging point-of-care (POC) technologies have identified visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy as a promising, minimally invasive alternative. Objective: Th...
A comprehensive review of fish protein hydrolysates targeting pet food formulat...
Ribeiro, Tânia Bragança; Maia, Margarida R. G.; Fonseca, António J. M.; Marques, Bianca; Caleja, Cristina; Rosa, Ana; Martins, Rui; Almeida, AndréThe fish industry generates significant amounts of fish by- and co-products (FBCPs) annually, projected to reach 160.8 million tonnes by 2030. This growth highlights the urgent need for sustainable FBCP management and an opportunity to improve the sector's environmental sustainability. Fish protein hydrolysates (FBCPHs) and bioactive peptides (BPs) derived from these FBCPs are gaining recognition in the pet foo...

Turismo inclusivo: A experiência Turística e a Terapêutica na Demência
Rosa, Marlene; Martins, Rui; Silva, Emanuel[Introdução] Numa era marcada por desafios sem precedentes, a demência emerge como uma pandemia silenciosa, transpondo barreiras e convocando a necessidade de iniciar uma jornada por entendimento e respostas. Não limitada a fronteiras geográficas ou sociais, esta condição afeta uma parcela substancial da população mundial, sendo cada vez mais reconhecida como uma crise de saúde pública que exige uma resposta co...
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish by-products: innovative extraction and applicatio...
Rodrigues, Matilde; Rosa, Ana; Almeida, André; Martins, Rui; Ribeiro, Tânia; Pintado, Manuela; Gonçalves, Raquel F. S.; Pinheiro, Ana C.Omega-3 fatty acids (O3FA) are essential nutrients that play a crucial role in maintaining human and animal health. They are known for their numerous health claims, including cardiovascular benefits, contributing to both the prevention and treatment of immunological, neurological, reproductive, and cardiovascular complications, and supporting overall well-being. Fish, especially oily fish, comprise rich source ...

Ferritin heavy chain supports stability and function of the regulatory T cell l...
Wu, Qian; Carlos, Ana Rita; Braza, Faouzi; Bergman, Marie-Louise; Kitoko, Jamil Z; Bastos-Amador, Patricia; Cuadrado, Eloy; Martins, RuiRegulatory T (TREG) cells develop via a program orchestrated by the transcription factor forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3). Maintenance of the TREG cell lineage relies on sustained FOXP3 transcription via a mechanism involving demethylation of cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG)-rich elements at conserved non-coding sequences (CNS) in the FOXP3 locus. This cytosine demethylation is catalyzed by the ten–eleven transl...
Targeting circulating labile heme as a defense strategy against malaria
Ramos, Susana; Jeney, Viktoria; Figueiredo, Ana; Paixão, Tiago; Sambo, Maria Rosário; Quinhentos, Vatúsia; Martins, Rui; Gouveia, ZéliaSevere presentations of malaria emerge as Plasmodium (P.) spp. parasites invade and lyse red blood cells (RBC), producing extracellular hemoglobin (HB), from which labile heme is released. Here, we tested whether scavenging of extracellular HB and/or labile heme, by haptoglobin (HP) and/or hemopexin (HPX), respectively, counter the pathogenesis of severe presentations of malaria. We found that circulating labil...
