Clostridioides difficile toxin A (TcdA) has been shown to inhibit cellular Wnt signaling, the major driving force behind the proliferation of epithelial cells in colonic crypts, likely through the inhibition of β-catenin nuclear translocation. Herein, we aimed to advance the understanding of this mechanism by replicating the findings in vivo and by investigating the specific role of Rac1, a member of the Rho GT...

However, if we decide to look for even older origins, we will find out that all these words derive from the Proto-Indo-European root stā-, meaning “to stand, set down, make or be firm".
This article reflects on the holistic approach for public sculpture research within the BIONANOSCULP project, focusing on the reasons behind the project development, its objectives, selected achievements and future outcomes. Focusing on one of the seven selected sculptures that were studied within the project, “Afonso de Albuquerque”, the reasons behind the selection of these public art works, their historical ...
Since 20th century’s last decades, public art, and its youngest expression, street art, have been obtaining increasing impact on non-specialized audiences, and gaining greater attention by critics and other specialists, for public art is the artistic discipline “that characterizes best the manifestations of the last third of the 20th century” (Maderuelo, 2000:240).
