Neural tube defects (NTDs) are severe congenital anomalies that impact the central nervous system (CNS), posing significant public health challenges, especially in Brazil. These defects originate from malformations during the early stages of neural tube (NT) development. Despite advancements in understanding neural stem cell behavior and neurogenesis, substantial knowledge gaps persist du…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains a formidable challenge in oncology, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. In recent years, the emergence of immunotherapies has presented new treatment strategies based on immunotherapies, with promising results for more specific treatments that provide less cytotoxicity for patients. In particular, the development of Chimeric Antigen Rec…
The Human Genome Research Center (HGRC-CEPID I) was initiated in 2000 with the main goal of increasing our basic knowledge and diagnosis of prevalent genetic diseases in the Brazilian population. The HGRC concentrated largely on Mendelian disorders, mainly neuromuscular, craniofacial, and mental disability. The scope was expanded in 2005 by incorporating stem-cell research, both as a too…
Healthy aging and longevity are a growing topic of interest. They depend on the complex interplay between nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, the environment and the microbiota, that is, the whole set of bacteria living in the different parts of our body with their whole set of genes. Understanding this complex nature versus nurture balance is one of the greatest challenges in human genetics a…

This research project addresses an important safety issue yet to be solved in the field of cell therapy and of critical relevance to the clinical applications of stem cells: the generation of tumors. Although tumors may arise from any type of stem cell, this project will adopt a pre-established human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line as a study model, given the striking association between …

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and aggressive primary malignant tumor that affects the Central Nervous System (CNS) in adults. Currently, treatment consists of surgical removal of the tumor, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and yet the median survival of patients after diagnosis is around 15 months. Recent advances in cell therapies have increased the success in the treatment of ge…
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults, characterized by a high mortality rate and ineffective treatment options. In this scenario, CAR-T cells are considered one of the most promising emerging treatments for GBM, due to their specificity against the tumor. However, in vitro study models that accurately simulate the complex tumor conditions in…
Embryonic tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS), including Medulloblastomas (MEDs) and Atypical Rabatoid Teratoid Tumors (ATRTs), are extremely aggressive tumors that threaten the lives of children, being the main cause of Cancer-related death in the age group 0-4 years. Despite the aggressive therapeutic strategies used to treat these neoplasms (i.e. surgery, radio and chemotherapy)…
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common type of central nervous system tumors, and its patients have an extremely low survival rate. One of the factors responsible for this is the inefficacy of available therapies, among which the drug Temozolomide (TMZ) stands out. This chemotherapy drug saw its use solidified after being adopted as a standard treatment protocol. Its cytotoxicity arises fr…
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive tumor that affects adult individuals. Because of this, the patient's median survival is estimated at just 15 months. Standard treatment consists of surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ). Despite this, the tumor is highly recurrent. This pattern can be explained by the resistance GBM stem cells (GSC) acquire…
Gliomas are the most common Central Nervous System tumors around the globe and comprehend up to 80% of all malignant primary brain tumors. Throughout the types of gliomas, glioblastomas multiforme stand out as the most aggressive and common type. The currently available therapies for glioblastoma treatment are insufficient, and consist of medical resection followed by chemo/radiotherapy a…

Hippo pathway is a phosphorylation cascade that culminates in YAP inactivation, inhibiting its activity as a transcription factor. Initially, Hippo pathway was related to the control of cell proliferation, tissue growth and stem cells phenotype. In addition, the inhibition of this pathway and hyperactivation of YAP have been related to several types of cancer. Efforts have been done to el…
Neural stem cells are regarded as new therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases and injuries marrow by their ability to self-renew, proliferate and differentiate giving rise to new neural cells able to migrate to areas of injury and replacing damaged tissue. However, understanding the process of differentiation of neural stem cells is crucial to develop new cellular therapies. …
