The interplay between HPV, other sexually transmissible infections and genital ...

Background: The importance of Cervicovaginal Microbiota in protecting against infections (such as HPV) is already well established, namely through Lactobacillus spp., as well as the mechanism through which HPV leads to Cervical Neoplasia. However, it is not possible to classify HPV as a complete carcinogen. Thus, the importance of exploring Cervicovaginal dysbiosis to decipher this interaction with HPV takes on...

Genetic modulation of HPV infection and cervical lesions: role of oxidative str...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary but not sufficient factor for the development of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and high-grade intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Oxidative stress is known to play a crucial role in HPV infection and carcinogenesis. In this study, we comprehensively investigate the modulation of HPV infection, HSIL and ICC, and ICC through an exploration of oxidative stress-relate...

Saúde ambiental : caderno de notas soltas III

Na sua 3.ª edição, o Caderno de Notas Soltas pretende reunir diferentes perspetivas e metodologias, celebrando a sua razão de ser e a nobreza da sua génese intimamente ligada à realidade dos estudantes. Na verdade, passados três anos retomamos uma colaboração firmada desde a primeira hora com a Associação de Estudantes da Faculdade de Medicina de Lisboa (AEFML), num registo de proximidade da comunidade estudant...

Skeletal muscle adipose tissue tumor axis

Increased visceral adiposity may influence the development of prostate cancer (PCa) aggressive tumors and cancer mortality. White adipose tissue (WAT), usually referred to as periprostatic adipose tissue (PPAT), surrounds the prostatic gland and has emerged as a potential mediator of the tumor microenvironment. Exercise training (ET) induces several adaptations in both skeletal muscle and WAT. Some of these eff...

Association of Aquaporin-3, Aquaporin-7, NOS3 and CYBA polymorphisms with hyper...

Preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy disorder influenced by oxidative stress and hypoxia, affects the health of the mother and baby and is associated with an increased risk of future hypertension (HT). Aquaporins are a family of water channels, comprising members that also transport glycerol (aquaglyceroporins) and hydrogen peroxide (peroxiporins), key molecules for metabolic homeostasis and redox signaling. Here, we...
