Pogner, CE; Antunes, C; Apangu, GP; Bruffaerts, N; Celenk, S; Cristofori, A; González Roldán, N; Grinn-Gofroń, A; Lara, B; Lika, M; Magyar, DBioaerosol is composed of different particles, originating from organisms, or their fragments with different origin, shape, and size. Sampling, analysing, identification and describing this airborne diversity has been carried out for over 100 years, and more recently the use of molecular genetic tools has been implemented. However, up to now there are no established protocols or standards for detecting airborne...

Polypill use for the prevention of cardiovascular disease: a position paper
Araújo, F; Caldeira, D; Aguiar, C; Antunes, JP; Cardim, N; Cunha, V; Fonseca, L; Moura, JP; Paixão-Dias, VM; Ribeiro, H; Cruz, VT; Gavina, CCardiovascular (CV) guidelines stress the need for global intervention to manage risk factors and reduce the risk of major vascular events. Growing evidence supports the use of polypill as a strategy to prevent cerebral and cardiovascular disease, however it is still underused in clinical practice. This paper presents an expert consensus aimed to summarize the data regarding polypill use. The authors consider t...

The Arizona Sexual Scale (ASEX) is a five-item rating scale that quantifies sex drive, arousal, vaginal lubrication/penile erection, ability to reach orgasm, and satisfact...
Lipid antigen presentation by CD1b and CD1d in lysosomal storage disease patients
Pereira, CS; Perez-Cabezas, B; Ribeiro, H; Maia, M; Cardoso, M; Dias, AF; Azevedo, O; Ferreira, M; Garcia, P; Rodrigues, E; Castro-Chaves, P; Martins, EThe lysosome has a key role in the presentation of lipid antigens by CD1 molecules. While defects in lipid antigen presentation and in invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cell response were detected in several mouse models of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD), the impact of lysosomal engorgement in human lipid antigen presentation is poorly characterized. Here, we analyzed the capacity of monocyte-derived dendriti...
Bacteriophage biodistribution and infectivity from honeybee to bee larvae using...
Ribeiro, H; Correia, R; Moreira, T; Vilas Boas, D; Azeredo, J; Oliveira, ABacteriophages (phages) or viruses that specifically infect bacteria have widely been studied as biocontrol agents against animal and plant bacterial diseases. They offer many advantages compared to antibiotics. The American Foulbrood (AFB) is a bacterial disease affecting honeybee larvae caused by Paenibacillus larvae. Phages can be very significant in fighting it mostly due to European restrictions to the use...
