Journal ArticleDOI

Gliomas and the vascular fragility of the blood brain barrier

Luiz Gustavo Dubois, +15 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: Astrocytes, members of the glial family, interact through the exchange of soluble factors or by directly contacting neurons and other brain cells, such as microglia and endothelial cells, and act as additional elements of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB).
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor infiltrating immune cells in gliomas and meningiomas

Patrícia Domingues, +11 more
- 01 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: Current knowledge about tumor-infiltrating immune cells in the two most common types of CNS tumors-gliomas and meningiomas are summarized, as well as the role that such immune cells may play in the tumor microenvironment in controlling and/or promoting tumor development, growth and control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of an Epson flatbed scanner to read Gafchromic EBT films for radiation dosimetry.

Brigida Costa Ferreira, +2 more
- 21 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: To fully assess the performance of the scanner Epson Expression 10000XL in order to quantify all parameters and needed corrections to minimize dose uncertainties, a protocol to read EBT films using the Epsonexpression 10000XL scanner was established for IMRT verification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Propolis and its constituent caffeic acid suppress LPS-stimulated pro-inflammatory response by blocking NF-κB and MAPK activation in macrophages

Michelle Cristiane Búfalo, +8 more
- 26 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: Propolis exerted an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action and caffeic acid may be involved in its inhibitory effects on NO production and intracellular signaling cascades, suggesting its use as a natural source of safe anti- inflammatory drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective activity of (+)-α-pinene: structural and enantiomeric selectivity.

Ana T. Rufino, +6 more
- 23 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: The data obtained show isomer- and enantiomer-selective anti-inflammatory and anticatabolic effects of α-pinene in human chondrocytes, (+)-α- pinene (1) being the most promising for further studies to determine its potential value as an antiosteoarthritic drug.
