1. DNA replication stress: oncogenes in the spotlight
Abstract Precise replication of genetic material is essential to maintain genome stability. DNA replication is a tightly regulated process that ensues faithful copies of DNA molecules to daughter cells during each cell cycle. Perturbation of DNA replication may compromise the transmission of genetic information, leading to DNA damage, mutations, and chromoso

2. Standardization and quality assessment for clinical grade mesenchymal stem cells from human adipose tissue
Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells have immense potential in stem cell-based therapies, however there is a pre-requisite to develop a curative cell dose. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells are promising mainly due to their potential abundance, immunomodulatory effect and remarkable differentiation potential. Nevertheless, senescence may d

3. Human papillomavirus and genome instability: from productive infection to cancer
Infection with high oncogenic risk human papillomavirus types is the etiological factor of cervical cancer and a major cause of other epithelial malignancies, including vulvar, vaginal, anal, penile and head and neck carcinomas. These agents affect epithelial homeostasis through the expression of specific proteins that deregulate important cellular signaling

4. Repetitive DNAs and shrink genomes: A chromosomal analysis in nine Columbidae species (Aves, Columbiformes)
Abstract An extensive karyotype variation is found among species belonging to the Columbidae family of birds (Columbiformes), both in diploid number and chromosomal morphology. Although clusters of repetitive DNA sequences play an important role in chromosomal instability, and therefore in chromosomal rearrangements, little is known about their distribution

5. Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric cancer: a distinct molecular subtype of the disease?
Abstract: Approximately 90% of the world population is infected by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Usually, it infects B lymphocytes, predisposing them to malignant transformation. Infection of epithelial cells occurs rarely, and it is estimated that about to 10% of gastric cancer patients harbor EBV in their malignant cells. Given that gastric cancer is the third

6. Genetic evaluation of mesenchymal stem cells by G-banded karyotyping in a Cell Technology Center
OBJECTIVE: To present the initial results of first three years of implementation of a genetic evaluation test for bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a Cell Technology Center.METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out of 21 candidates for cell therapy. After the isolation of bone marrow mononuclear cells by density gradient, mesenchymal stem ce

7. Increased frequency of micronuclei in the lymphocytes of patients chronically infected with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus
In this study, we analysed the frequency of micronuclei (MN), nucleoplasmic bridges (NPBs) and nuclear buds (NBUDs) and evaluated mutagen-induced sensitivity in the lymphocytes of patients chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV). In total, 49 patients with chronic viral hepatitis (28 HBV-infected and 21 HCV-infected patie

8. Aspectos clínicos e citogenéticos da síndrome de Bloom / Clinical and citogenetics aspects of Bloom syndrome
Introdução: A síndrome de Bloom (SB) é uma síndrome de instabilidade cromossômica rara, transmitida por herança autossômica recessiva. Caracteriza-se por deficiência de crescimento pré e pós-natal, microcefalia, hipoplasia malar, eritema telangiectásico em face e comprometimento do sistema imunológico. Os pacientes com SB apresentam predisposiç

9. Modelagem computacional do efeito bystander das radiações ionizantes via autômato celular e técnica Monte Carlo
Until the 1990s it was believed that the DNA was the only target molecule of ionizing radiation. But some observations have questioned this theory. In 1992, the bystander effect was described by Nagasawa and Little. This effect is responsible for a series of answers as death, chromosomal instability or other abnormalities that occur in non-irradiated cells,

10. Estudo das alteraÃÃes hematolÃgicas, bioquÃmicas e genotÃxicas induzidas por agrotÃxicos em agricultores do estado do Piauà / STUDY OF POSSIBLE GENETIC CHANGES INDUCED BY PESTICIDES IN FARMERS IN THE STATE OF PIAUÃ
Exposure to pesticides represents a potential risk to human health. In addition to poisoning, these compounds may interact with DNA, causing degenerative diseases, including cancer. The risk assessment for pesticides was conducted in the municipalities of Picos, Piripiri, Barras and Josà de Freitas with farm workers (exposed group) and 55 administrative off

11. Cytogenetic characterization and evaluation of c-MYC gene amplification in PG100, a new Brazilian gastric cancer cell line
Gastric cancer is the fourth most frequent type of cancer and the second cause of cancer mortality worldwide. The genetic alterations described so far for gastric carcinomas include amplifications and mutations of the c-ERBB2, KRAS, MET, TP53, and c-MYC genes. Chromosomal instability described for gastric cancer includes gains and losses of whole chromosomes

12. Estimating genomic instability mediated by Alu retroelements in breast cancer
Alu-PCR is a relatively simple technique that can be used to investigate genomic instability in cancer. This technique allows identification of the loss, gain or amplification of gene sequences based on the analysis of segments between two Alu elements coupled with quantitative and qualitative analyses of the profiles obtained from tumor samples, surgical ma
