- Genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in large university hospital cohort: the UnCoVER-Brazil project 20/07/2023This work aimed to study the role of different SARS-CoV-2 lineages in the epidemiology of multiple waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo state), with comparison within Brazil and globally. Viral genomic sequencing was combined with clinical and sociodemographic information of 2,379 subjects at a large Brazilian hospital. On the whole 2,395 […]Felipe Santos de Carvalho
- Integrating Methylome and Transcriptome Signatures Expands the Molecular Classification of the Pituitary Tumors 12/12/2022CONCLUSION: This large heterogenic ethnic Brazilian cohort confirms that integrated methylome and transcriptome signatures classify FPT and NFPT, which are associated with clinical presentation and tumor invasiveness. Moreover, the cluster NFPT/ACTH-secreting adenomas raises interest regarding tumor heterogeneity, supporting the challenge raised by the 2017 and 2022 WHO definition regarding the discrepancy, in rare cases, between […]Rui M Patrício da Silva-Júnior
- Mast cell-T cell axis alters development of colitis-dependent and colitis-independent colorectal tumours: potential for therapeutically targeting via mast cell inhibition 11/10/2022CONCLUSION: Therefore, we suggest that MCs have a dual role throughout CRC development and are potential druggable targets against this disease.Juliana Y Sakita
- Genetic regulation of OAS1 nonsense-mediated decay underlies association with COVID-19 hospitalization in patients of European and African ancestries 14/07/2022The chr12q24.13 locus encoding OAS1-OAS3 antiviral proteins has been associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) susceptibility. Here, we report genetic, functional and clinical insights into this locus in relation to COVID-19 severity. In our analysis of patients of European (n = 2,249) and African (n = 835) ancestries with hospitalized versus nonhospitalized COVID-19, the risk […]A Rouf Banday
- Telomere length and Wnt/β-catenin pathway in adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas 18/05/2022CONCLUSIONS: CTNNB1: mutations are more frequent in children and adolescents and appear to associate with progressive disease. CTNNB1-mutated aCPs have shorter telomeres, demonstrating a relationship between the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and telomere biology in the pathogenesis of aCPs.Jose Italo Soares Mota
