Multiple myeloma (MM) genomic complexity reflects in the variable patients' clinical presentation. Genome-wide studies seem to be a reasonable alternative to identify critical genomic lesions. In the current study, we have performed the genomic characterisation of a Portuguese cohort of patients with MM by array comparative genomic hybridisation. Overall, the most frequently detected alterations were 13q deletions, gains of 1q, 19p, 15q, 5p and 7p and trisomy 9. Even though some identified genomic alterations were previously associated with a prognostic value, other abnormalities remain with unknown, but putative significance for patients' clinical practice. These genomic alterations should be further assessed as possible biomarkers.

FOXO3a is a transcription factor involved in cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. FOXO3a is localized in the cytoplasm in cancer cells, and its nuclear translocation by small molecules is expected to prevent cancer cell growth. In this study, we screened a fungal broth library in HeLa cells using fluorescently labeled FOXO3a and an AI-based imaging system.

Food Chemistry with Focus on Toxicology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Wuppertal, Germany.

While copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for biological systems due to its redox properties, excess levels may lead to adverse effects partly due to overproduction of reactive species. Thus, a tightly regulated Cu homeostasis is crucial for health. Cu dyshomeostasis and elevated labile Cu levels are associated with oxidative stress and neurodegenerative disorders, but the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully characterized.

Polyethylene (PE) is the most-produced polyolefin, and consequently, it is the most widely found plastic waste worldwide. PE biodegradation is under study by applying different (micro)organisms in order to understand the biodegradative mechanism in the majority of microbes. This study aims to identify novel bacterial species with compelling metabolic potential and strategic genetic repertoires for PE biodegradation.

The emergence of the multidrug-resistant (MDR) ST131 clone has significantly impacted public health. With traditional antibiotics becoming less effective against MDR bacteria, there is an urgent need for alternative treatment options. This study aimed to isolate and characterize four lytic phages (EC.
