Advances in ELISA-based detection of equine leptospirosisNARA Subscribed
Integrin inhibition differentially remodels vascular networks in lung metastases driven by vessel co-option or angiogenesisNARA Subscribed
Tumor progression depends on an adequate blood supply to sustain oxygen and nutrients delivery. While tumor angiogenesis involves the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, vessel co-option represents a non-angiogenic vascularization strategy whereby tumor cells utilize pre-existing host vessels. Co-opted vessels have been considered refractory to anti-angiogenic therapies, and pharmacological modulation of co-...
Clonal Propagation of Khaya spp.: Epicormic Shoot Emission in Adult African Mahogany SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Research on vegetative propagation in the genus Khaya remains limited and has focused mainly on juvenile trees, which restricts the selection of plus trees previously tested for growth potential and economic value. This study aimed to evaluate the vegetative propagation of three African mahogany species by inducing epicormic shoots in adult trees, and to investigate evidence of rejuvenation/reinvigoration during adventitious r...
Mechanisms of dyspnoea and exercise intolerance in smokers with preserved ratio impaired spirometryNARA Subscribed
Purpose Smokers with preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) present reduced forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV₁ < 80% predicted) but preserved FEV 1 /forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥ 0.7. Although they do not meet diagnostic criteria for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), they often report respiratory symptoms and exercise intolerance. We aimed to compare sensory and physiological responses to exerc...
Early-pregnancy exposure to air pollution and stillbirth in São Paulo, Brazil – results from the FetRisks case-control studyNARA Subscribed
Stillbirth remains a major public health concern, particularly in urban settings with persistent air pollution, while evidence remains limited in middle-income countries. This study aims to examine the association between prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) PM2.5 and stillbirth in São Paulo, Brazil. Case-control study including 348 antepartum stillbirths and 419 live births recruited from 14 public hospitals....
The supply of metabolizable nutrients to suckling beef calves on pasture can improve their performance, increasing weaning weight and productivity in cow–calf systems. The objective was to evaluate the effects of dried distillers grains (DDG) inclusion on intake, digestibility, metabolism, and performance of suckling beef calves grazing tropical pastures. Forty-eight Nellore calves, 120 ± 35 days of age and 135 ± 23.4 kg of bo...
Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Modified citrus pectin modulates splenic immune responses and galectin expression following cisplatin treatment in Wistar ratsNARA Subscribed
Modified citrus pectin (MCP), a polysaccharide from citrus fruits, modulates galectin-3 (Gal-3) and immune responses. Although MCP exhibits notable immunomodulatory effects, its role in drug-induced splenic and systemic toxicity remains unexplored. This study investigated the effects of MCP modulation on splenic immune remodeling and galectin expression in a rat model of cisplatin-induced toxicity. Wistar rats were divided int...
Biostimulant Potential of Vitamins in Soybean CultivationNARA Subscribed
Objective To systematically evaluate the impact of SSRIs on sexual function in adults with depression compared to placebo through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods A systematic search using the terms “sexual dysfunction” , “depression” and “antidepressant” was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for RCTs published up to June 2025. No language...
