Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide, besides the reduction in its incidence. Late diagnosis usually occurs due to the absence of symptoms or the presence of non-specific symptoms in early stages of the disease. In this case, the available therapeutic options are not efficient, resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates. The continuous study of new stra…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative, progressive and irreversible disorder. Early onset AD is generally familiar and exhibits an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, while late-onset AD occurs in sporadic cases, shows a complex inheritance pattern and a high heritability. Human aging process also is a complex phenomenon involving genes and environmental factors. This projec…
Gastric cancer is the fourth most prevalent and the second cause of cancer death worldwide. Nowadays, Brazil is in the fourth most prevalent in gastric cancer in Latin America. Alterations in methylation patterns or chromatin remodeling have been involved in carcinogenesis due to their crucial role in regulation mechanisms. Moreover, cytogenetic abnormalities have been associated with neo…

Understanding the biology of the various genes related to the telomere-telomerase complex can help in understanding the molecular mechanisms of telomere maintenance throughout cell divisions, as well as provide valuable information on human genetic diseases, aging and cancer. Moreover, because telomerase is associated with age, health, and telomere length, it becomes an attractive target …
Despite the reduction in worldwide incidence, gastric cancer remains the second leading cause of death caused by cancer. The delayed diagnosis of gastric cancer in general practice manly occurs due to the absence of symptoms or the presence of non-specific symptoms in the early stages of the disease. Consequently, only a few effective therapeutic options are available, resulting in high m…
