Journal ArticleDOI
The Yap family and its role in stress response.
TL;DR: The data reviewed in this article illustrate how much the comprehension of the biology of the Yap family involved in stress response has advanced, and how much research is still needed to unravel the complexity of the role of these transcriptional factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative Stress in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases: Insights from the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: The latest knowledge on the role of oxidative stress in neurodegenerative disorders, with emphasis on AD and PD, is summarized and an overview of the work undertaken to study AD andPD in yeast is provided, focusing the use of this model to understand the effect of oxidative Stress in both diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ramalho da Silva,Ana Margarida Henriques,Miguel Fevereiro,M. Rita Ventura,Mónica Serrano,Catarina Pimentel +16 more
TL;DR: A single-tube test based on RT-LAMP that enables the visual detection of less than 100 viral genome copies of SARS-CoV-2 within 30 minutes and a new colorimetric method that allowed the detection of LAMP products by the visualization of an evident color shift, regardless of the reaction pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tungsten and molybdenum regulation of formate dehydrogenase expression in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough.
Sofia M. da Silva,Catarina Pimentel,Filipa M. A. Valente,Claudina Rodrigues-Pousada,Inês A. C. Pereira +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a metal-dependent regulatory mechanism is present, resulting in the dimeric FdhAB protein being the main enzyme present in cells grown in the presence of tungsten and the trimericFdhABC₃ protein beingThe main enzyme in cells growing in the absence of molybdenum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron and Neurodegeneration: From Cellular Homeostasis to Disease
TL;DR: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as the best understood eukaryotic organism, has already begun to play a role in the neurological disorders; thus it could perhaps become a valuable tool also to study the metalloneurobiology.
