LEARNING GENETICS: AN INTERACTIVE APPROACH BETWEEN HIGHER EDUCATION AND EARLY P...
Novais, Gonçalo; Dias, Clara; Ferreira, Beatriz; Lamas, Maria do Céu; Mota, Sandra; Amorim, Maria ManuelaAs part of the curricular unit Clinical Education II at E2S|Porto, a pedagogical intervention on heredity was developed for primary school students, aiming to promote active learning of fundamental concepts in classical genetics. Starting from the question ‘Why do we look like our parents?’, a playful-pedagogical approach was adopted, combining brief expository moments with age-appropriate, hands-on activities....

Novais, Gonçalo; Dias, Clara; Ferreira, Beatriz; Lamas, Maria Céu; Mota, Sandra; Amorim, Manuela; Amorim Sousa, Maria Manuela; Mota, SandraIntegrada na UC Educação Clínica II da E2S|Porto, foi desenvolvida uma intervenção educativa sobre hereditariedade, dirigida a 86 estudantes do 1.º ao 4.º ano do Ensino Básico (5-10 anos), em 4 sessões independentes com cerca de 45 minutos. Partindo da questão “Porque somos parecidos com os nossos pais?”, a atividade utilizou uma abordagem lúdico-pedagógica para explorar conceitos genéticos. Iniciou com a ident...
Virulence-linked mutations in rubredoxin reductase and glutaredoxin: impact on ...
Sá, Sara; Silva, Carina; Dias, Maria Clara; Veiga, Marlene; Lopes, Sofia; Fernandes, Ruben; Rocha, Ana Catarina; Pais, Patrick J.; Oliveira, MarcoPseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1) is an opportunistic pathogen, lethal in immunocompromised individuals. The clinical management of PAO1 infections still depends deeply on antibiotic therapy. However, this therapy has been alarmingly overpowered by growing bacterial resistance mechanisms over the years. One of these bacterial mechanisms is quorum sensing (QS). QS is involved in the production of biofilm, rhamnolipi...
The history and applications of phage therapy in pseudomonas aeruginosa
Silva, Carina; Sá, Sara; Guedes, Carla; Oliveira, Carla; Lima, Cláudio; Oliveira, Marco; Mendes, João; Novais, Gonçalo; Baylina, Pilar; Fernandes, RubenThe Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the bacteria that cause serious infections due to resistance to many antibiotics can be fatal in severe cases. Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health concern. To solve this problem, interest in phage therapy has revived; some studies are being developed to try to prove the effectiveness of this therapy. Thus, in this opinion article, several historical aspects ar...
