Synergic effect of oral contraceptives, GSTP1 polymorphisms, and high-risk HPV infection in development of cervical lesions
Authors: B.S. Chagas, A.P.A.D. Gurgel, S.S.L. Paiva J�ºnior, R.C.P. Lima,M.N. Cordeiro, R.R. Moura, A.V.C. Coelho, K.C.G. Nascimento,J.C. Silva Neto, S. Crovella and A.C. Freitas
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is considered a risk factor for cervical cancer. Even if the high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection is necessary, environmental co-factors and genetic susceptibility also play an important role in cervical cancer development. In this study, a possible association of rs1695 GSTP1 polymorphisms, HR.. Read More»

Polymorphisms of interleukin 6 in Down syndrome individuals: a case-control study
Authors: M.F. Mattos, L. Uback, P.M. Biselli-Chicote, J.M. Biselli, E.M. Goloni-Bertollo and E.C. Pavarino
Down syndrome (DS) individuals present impaired adaptive immune system. However, the etiology of the immunological deficiency in these individuals is not completely understood. This study investigated the frequency of interleukin 6 polymorphisms (rs1800795, rs1800796, and rs1800797) in individuals with DS and individuals witho.. Read More»

Stability and adaptability of soybean cultivars in Minas Gerais
Authors: I.O. Soares, A.T. Bruzi, E.V. Zambiazzi, S.R. Guilherme, M.C. Bianchi, K.B. Silva, V. Fronza and C.M. Teixeira
Genotypes x environment (G x E) interaction consists of different behavior of genotypes cultivated in different environments. This interaction occurs due to the performance variation of each genotype in different environments. To reduce the effect of the interaction in soybean crops, some studies have been reported in the lite.. Read More»

Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial pathological disease that alters the morphology and function of arterial walls. The atheroma growth leads to vessel hardening and lumen narrowing, limiting the blood flow. The atheroma plaque can eventually break, expose highly thrombogenic material and lead to platelet activation and subseq.. Read More»
