Breast Cancer Molecular Subtype Prediction: A Mammography-Based AI Approach
Mota, Ana M.; Mendes, João; Matela, NunoBreast cancer remains a leading cause of mortality among women, with molecular subtypes significantly influencing prognosis and treatment strategies. Currently, identifying the molecular subtype of cancer requires a biopsy—a specialized, expensive, and time-consuming procedure, often yielding to results that must be supported with additional biopsies due to technique errors or tumor heterogeneity. This study in...
Enhanced Digital Breast Tomosynthesis diagnosis using 3D visualization and auto...
Mota, Ana M.Breast cancer represents the main cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Nonetheless, the mortality rate of this disease has been decreasing over the last three decades, largely due to the screening programs for early detection. For many years, both screening and clinical diagnosis were mostly done through Digital Mammography (DM). Approved in 2011, Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is similar to DM but it a...
Detection of Microcalcifications in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis using Faster R...
Mota, Ana M.; Clarkson, Matthew J.; Almeida, Pedro; Matela, NunoMicrocalcification clusters (MCs) are one of the most important biomarkers for breast cancer and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) has consolidated its role in breast cancer imaging. As there are mixed observations about MCs detection using DBT, it is important to develop tools that improve this task. Furthermore, the visualization mode of MCs is also crucial, as their diagnosis is associated with their 3D mor...
Polar marine biology science in Portugal and Spain: Recent advances and future ...
Xavier, José C.; Barbosa, Andrés; Agustí, Susana; Alonso-Sáez, Laura; Alvito, Pedro; Ameneiro, Julia; Ávila, Conxita; Baeta, Alexandra; Canário, JoãoPolar marine ecosystems have global ecological and economic importance because of their unique biodiversity and their major role in climate processes and commercial fisheries, among others. Portugal and Spain have been highly active in a wide range of disciplines in marine biology of the Antarctic and the Arctic. The main aim of this paper is to provide a synopsis of some of the results and initiatives undertak...

Cadmium accumulation and antioxidative defences in Brassica juncea L. Czern, Ni...
Pinto, Ana P.; Alves, Ana S.; Candeias, Antonio J.; Cardoso, Ana I.; de Varennes, Amarilis; Martins, Luisa L.; Mourato, Miguel P.Remediation of sites contaminated with heavy metals using hyperaccumulators seems a promising alternative to engineering approaches. In this work, we compared cadmium (Cd) accumulation and tolerance (based on responses to oxidative stress) in three different species, Brassica juncea (L.) Czern, Nicotiana tabacum L. and Solanum nigrum L., described in the literature as very tolerant or even as hyperaccumulators....
