Brazil has approximately 13.6% of the world's fresh water, represented by 12 Basins, concentrated specifically in 3 large basins, the Basins Amazon, São Francisco and Paraná. The state of São Paulo has an abundance of rivers, and its hydrographic basins are threatened by anthropic actions. Therefore, the increase in pollutants and the lack of inspection of the emission of chemical compoun…
The applicant is a young outstanding scientist who has published 45 articles (1569 citations, H-index = 15), supervised 5 PhD thesis, coordinated successful project grants (over 500,000 EURO), and became quite early an Associate Professor. His studies were pioneer in developing spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) transplantation in zebrafish, and showing the role of crucial growth factors, Igf…
The environmental pollution is one of the greatest dilemmas of the humanity, specially in urban areas. An improper basic sanitation and water treatment lead to daily discharge of effluents from industry and residences into the water resources. Those effluents contain toxic compounds as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and metals. The PAHs are mainly derived from the combustion o…
Testicular organoids are three dimensional clusters derived from testicular cells that exhibit in vitro same cytoarchitecture and functionality of a testis in vivo. To achieve this, the organoids are originated from stem cells (spermatogonial stem cells) and somatic cells that recapitulate the testis morphogenesis, and mimic the complex cellular and molecular interactions present in the o…
Spermatogonial Stem Cells (SSCs) are the only stem cells in the body capable to transmit the genetic information from species along generations. This feature is due to the potential of these cells to either self-renew or differentiate to give rise to millions of spermatozoa. Recent studies using SSCs have generated promising methods in the aquaculture, such as the SSC transplantation. Thi…

Fertility in males is a process that depends on the differentiation of germ cells, with the purpose of producing millions of sperm during the male reproductive life. This production is regulated by a balance between the processes of self-renewal and differentiation of Spermatogonial stem cells. Recently, lncRNAs have been recognized to play a vital role in regulating spermatogenesis, affe…

Spermatogenesis is a complex process involving the formation of male gametes and occurs in several phases, including cellular control, DNA replication, and genetic material separation, resulting in the production of highly specialized sperm. This process is essential for genetic variability and the maintenance of the species' chromosome number. Early sexual maturation can be problematic f…

Considering that early or delayed maturation may impact aquaculture species' production, it is essential to understand how spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) activity is regulated in order to manage fish puberty onset. Endocrine and paracrine signals are essential in the SSC niche affecting the delicate balance between SSC self-renewal and differentiation. On the other hand, molecular proces…
The study of puberty in fish is specially relevant because either the premature or the late onset of the gonadal maturation are significant issues for many cultivated species. At the onset of fish puberty, signaling from the pituitary reaches the developing testis, inducing or inhibiting the expression of many factors in the spermatogonial stem cell niche, regulating the balance between g…
The Piaractus mesopotamicus, popular named as Pacu, is a Neotropical freshwater fish with high value commercial and potential to fish farming. In captivity, the males of Pacu shows a pattern of gonadal maturation similar to that seen in nature, with late sexual maturity (2-3 years). Since we have a lack of genetic information and limited knowledge about P. mesopotamicus reproduction, furt…
Organoids are tree-dimensional (3D) cell agglomerates that recapitulate de novo tissue morphogenesis, and consequently tissue cytoarchitecture and biological function of a given organ. Two-dimensional (2D) culture systems, such as organotypic cultures, are not optimal to study the complex cell-cell interaction and signaling as observed in vivo. Therefore, 3D culture system can open opport…
The common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) is a protandrous hermaphrodite fish with high value commercial and potential to finfish farming. One of the bottlenecks in the production of common snook consists in obtaining the captive females. For this reason, a broodstock management in controlling sex ratios by manipulating sex change is necessary. Previous experiment was performed using die…
