Unraveling the role of TBCCD1 protein on cell size control: the regulation of c...
Camelo, Carolina; Peneda, Catarina; Coyaud, Étienne; Raught, Brian; Câmara, Ana I.; Carmona, Bruno; Pinto, Francisco; Narinho, H. Susana; Soares, HelenaDuring their lifetime most cells maintain their size. There is increasing evidence showing that this process may be dynamic and that cells can adapt their size in response to external signals and changes in the environment [1], which strongly suggests that cell size is regulated. Both Hippo and IGF/PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 pathways have been described as being involved in cell size/growth control [1]. Interestingly, the...
“Healthy Life”: interaction of polyphenols with lipid bilayers and their effect...
Filipe, Hugo A. L.; Peneda, Catarina; Marquês, Joaquim T.; Machuqueiro, Miguel; Ramos, João C.; Santos, Maria da Soledade; Marinho, H. SusanaThis work concerns the transversal project of the CQB thematic line: “Healthy Life: Molecular Interventions and Regulation Mechanisms”. Biologically active plant phytochemicals have a broad range of pharmacological effects including anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity. [1] Notwithstanding the possibility of having a specific target, phytochemicals must interact and perme...
