Micro-RNAs differentially expressed in comparative analysis of sperm samples wi...
Silva, Ricardo Tomaz da; Gomes, Matheus de Souza; Fujimura, Patrícia Tiemi; Ueira-Vieira, Carlos; Amaral, Laurence Rodrigues do; Beletti, Marcelo EmílioInfertility or subfertility in bovine males may be related to spermatic microRNAs (miRNAs), whose function seems to be associated with the regulation of gene expression, degradation or storage of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for later translation into early embryonic development. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in semen samples from bulls (Bos taurus) with low and high ...
Insights into the Melipona scutellaris (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) fat bo...
Sousa, Cristina Soares de; Serrão, José Eduardo; Bonetti, Ana Maria; Amaral, Isabel Marques Rodrigues; Kerr, Warwick Estevam; Maranhão, Andréa QueirozThe insect fat body is a multifunctional organ analogous to the vertebrate liver. The fat body is involved in the metabolism of juvenile hormone, regulation of environmental stress, production of immunity regulator-like proteins in cells and protein storage. However, very little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved in fat body physiology in stingless bees. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptom...

Improved serological detection of rheumatoid arthritis: a highly antigenic mimo...
Araujo, Galber Rodrigues; Vaz, Emília Rezende; Fujimura, Patricia Tiemi; Fonseca, João Eurico; de Lima, Lucélia Maria; Canhao, HelenaIntroduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects around 1% of the human population worldwide. RA diagnosis can be difficult as there is no definitive test for its detection. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify biomarkers that could be used for RA diagnosis. Methods: Sera from a collagen-induced arthritis mouse model were used to select potential biom...
