Publications by authors named "Rita Seabra"
Article Synopsis
- Publication is crucial for sharing new ideas and findings, and selecting the right format and timing can significantly impact research visibility and effectiveness.
- Many early-career researchers lack knowledge about the publication process and available promotion strategies, which is especially important for studies involving animal models to optimize data use and mitigate animal testing.
- The text reviews different publishing models, provides resources for authors, reviewers, and editors, discusses emerging challenges like the role of Artificial Intelligence, and offers ten key tips for early researchers to enhance their publication success.
Scientists, for a variety of reasons, need to carry out in vivo research. Since experiments that require the use of adult animals pose various logistical, economical and ethical issues, the use of embryonic and larval forms of some organisms are potentially attractive alternatives. Early life stages are appealing because, in general, large numbers of individuals can be maintained in relatively simple housing, minimising costs, and their use involves fewer legal formalities.

The kinetics of gastrointestinal nematode-induced T(H)2-type responses, especially in the context of primary infection, have been extensively studied in experimental infection models but not in human subjects.
Objective: We sought to determine the kinetics of basophil sensitization in subjects infected with Necator americanus during the first 12 weeks after infection.
