Amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation and neuroinflammation are consistent features in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and strong candidates for the initiation of neurodegeneration. S100B is one of the most abundant proinflammatory proteins that is chronically up-regulated in AD and is found associated with senile plaques. This recognized biomarker for brain distress may, thus, play roles in amyloid aggregation [...]

9-13 July 2018, Faculty of Sciences | University of Lisboa | Portugal INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION: http://fculmf.campus.ciencias.ulisboa.pt | htm2018@fc.ul.pt EXTENDED APPLICATION DEADLINE - 1 June 2018 OVERVIEW High-throughput or high-content microscopy screening are powerful tools in the fields of systems biology and drug discovery. These approaches rely on the acquisition of extensive imaging datasets coupled to automated [...]
Currently, direct detection of Leptospira can be done in clinical laboratories by conventional and by real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). We tested a biobank of paired samples of serum and urine from the same patient (202 patients) presenting at the hospital in an area endemic for leptospirosis using qRT-PCR followed by high resolution melting (HRM) analysis. The results were compared with those [...]
Cork oak (Quercus suber) is native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa where it plays a crucial environmental and economical role. To tackle the cork oak production and industrial challenges, advanced research is imperative but dependent on the availability of a sequenced genome. To address this, we produced the first draft version of the cork [...]
