This project was motivated by different reasons. Among them, previous experiences from other projects and which are combined with the situation reported below regarding the extreme lack of updated information and Brazilian experts dedicated to the use of molecular tools in the area of ¿¿taxonomy and systematics of decapod crustaceans (shrimp, crabs, hermit crabs and similar) inhabiting th…
How is marine biota formed on a remote, oceanic, volcanic island? Trindade and Martin Vaz (TMV) are younger (3.5 and 1.5 million years old, respectively) than the adjacent continental shelves (~80 million years old), so their coastal fauna is composed of migrants that settled after cooling: Atlantic American and African, amphi-Atlantic, insular, circumtropical and endemic species. On a re…
The Brazilian coast, with approximately 7,500 km, is one of the largest in the world, with over 900 marine algae taxa recorded. However, there are still little explored areas and taxonomic groups that require further studies before the still unknown biodiversity is lost due to climate change. In recent years, the efforts of this proposing team to understand the biodiversity of marine macr…

Push-pull À-conjugated heteroaromatic systems are compounds that are easy to synthesize and have unique optoelectronic properties, making them well established materials for a ranging of applications. The arrangement of these molecular moieties consists of carrying a terminal communication from the electron donor and the acceptor group through a À-conjugated bridge, establishing a proper …
Neoplasms have been the leading cause of most deaths recorded annually worldwide. Scientists are engaged in research to continuously improve the treatment of the most diverse types of cancer. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to optimize the performance of the drug candidate LASSBio-1735, both through the development of new crystalline forms and through its controlled relea…
Nitric oxide (NO), is commonly produced within the endothelial cells and is argued to possess potent vasodilatory effects. NO may induce nitration of catecholamine neurotransmitters, resulting in corresponding 6-nitroderivatives. Recently, the 6-nitroderivatives were demonstrated to affect vascular tone and cardiac chronotropy and inotropy. Additionally, a new family of catecholamines, al…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately 1% of the population over 60 years of age and is characterized by the progressive occurrence of motor and non-motor symptoms, which end up causing difficulties in people's mobility and carrying out daily activities. The main objective of the study is to develop assistive technology …
Obesity is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation that increases the release of inflammatory mediators, impairing insulin signaling and potentially triggering insulin resistance (IR). Due to the inability to produce insulin in the pancreas or the inefficiency in effective insulin use to control hyperglycemia, IR can progress to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DMT2). The prevalence of o…
