1-[(2,3-Dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl) methyl]piperazines as novel anti-inflammatory compounds: Synthesis and evaluation on H3R/H4R
(Wiley, 2017)
The histamine receptors (HRs) are members of G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily and traditional targets of huge therapeutic interests. Recently, H3R and H4R have been explored as targets for drug discovery, including ...
Immobilization of Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens on silk fibroin spheres: an alternative protocol for the enantioselective synthesis of halohydrins
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2017)
The search for a new, efficient, cheaper and sustainable matrix for lipase immobilization is a growing area in biotechnology. Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was immobilized on silk fibroin spheres and used in ...
True axillary inflorescences in Rudgea (Palicoureeae, Rubiaceae), a newly reported characteristic of two new Brazilian species, R. quisquiliae and R. axilliflora
(Magnolia Press, 2016)
Two new species of Rudgea (Rubiaceae), R. quisquiliae and R. axilliflora, from Southeastern Brazil present true axillary inflorescences, a very distinct characteristic in the genus. Rudgea was previously characterized by ...
Hypermethylation of a New Distal Sodium/Iodide Symporter (NIS) Enhancer (NDE) Is Associated With Reduced NIS Expression in Thyroid Tumors
(Endocrine Soc, 2014-06-01)
Context: in thyroid tumors, reduced radioiodine uptake is associated with worse patient outcome concomitantly with low sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) mRNA expression. Previous studies showed that CpG-island methylation in ...
ZnWO4 nanocrystals: synthesis, morphology, photoluminescence and photocatalytic properties
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018)
The present joint experimental and theoretical work provides in-depth understanding on the morphology and structural, electronic, and optical properties of ZnWO4 nanocrystals. Monoclinic ZnWO4 nanocrystals were prepared ...
Intralimb Coordination Patterns in Absent, Mild, and Severe Stages of Diabetic Neuropathy: Looking Beyond Kinematic Analysis of Gait Cycle
(Public Library Science, 2016)
Aim Diabetes Mellitus progressively leads to impairments in stability and joint motion and might affect coordination patterns, mainly due to neuropathy. This study aims to describe changes in intralimb joint coordination ...
The importance of predation and predator size on the development and structure of a subtropical fouling community
(Springer, 2016)
Predation plays a fundamental role in shaping marine fouling communities. However, its consequences for species diversity and community organization depend on several intrinsic properties of predators and prey. To evaluate ...
Do sexually dimorphic glands in the harvestman gryne perlata (arachnida: opiliones) release contact pheromones during mating?
(Assoc Arquivos Neuro- Psiquiatria, 2016)
There are records of glands that produce sexual pheromones that are released into the environment or applied directly on sexual partners. Within Opiliones (Arachnida), several harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores have ...
