Leprosy is one of the oldest recorded debilitating diseases affecting mankind, the immunopathology of which is characterized by fluctuating granulomatous inflammation that targets mainly skin and peripheral nerve. The disease is caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae, a slow growing obligatory intracellular and non-cultivatable organism. The disease is manifested with diverse pathology due to varied immune (both innate and adaptive) responses of the hosts as a result of cognate interaction with the organism. Of note, leprosy can be regarded as a unique model to elucidate the complexity of host immunity at both skin and systemic levels.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, and prognosis varies with age, ethnicity, genetic background, and stage of progression. Disease progression that has been observed in a substantial proportion of patients despite androgen ablation, can arise from many factors, such as the presence of cells that are resistant de novo or acquire resistance induced by androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) or androgen receptor antagonists.
Recent Advances in Prolactin Research summarizes the current knowledge of prolactin (PRL), PRL receptor, PRL-dependent signaling pathways, the role of PRL in oncogenesis and PRL crosstalk with other oncogenic factors. The chapters are written by experts in these fields and focus on identifying and reviewing timely experimental findings that provide new insights into the expanding role of PRL in the pathophysiology associated with a variety of human conditions. Prolactin is a peptide hormone that is best known for its role in lactation. Prolactin also has an influence on hematopoiesis and angiogenesis, and is involved in the regulation of blood clotting through several pathways. Although PRL ...

The issue of social justice has been brought to the forefront of society within recent years, and educational institutions have become an integral part of this critical conversation. Classroom settings are expected to take part in the promotion of inclusive practices and the development of culturally proficient environments that provide equal and effective education for all students regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status, and disability, as well as from all walks of life. The scope of these practices finds itself rooted in curriculum, teacher preparation, teaching practices, and pedagogy in all educational environments.

“Cacilda Becker: Dos Sonhos Nascem os Mitos” é um precioso documentário, escrito por um professor e jornalista que há mais de trinta anos se dedica a pesquisa e ao resgate da vida desta pirassununguense maravilhosa que foi Cacilda Becker. Com uma elegância de estilo, rigorosamente disciplinada pelo bom senso, Israel nos mostra que realmente dos sonhos daquela menina franzina, de voz rouca e trejeitos interioranos, desengonçada, surgiria este mito chamado Cacilda Becker. Cacilda já era merecedora de um livro que realmente expresse sua simplicidade e seriedade pela arte que desenvolvia. Este livro vem suprir esta lacuna e nada melhor que um escritor que, igualmente a Cacilda, nasceu em Pirassununga. Israel possui a majestade da energia do autor porque enriquece, com seu esforço informativo honesto e interessado em apenas divulgar a cultura, fazendo com que o mito Cacilda Becker sirva de exemplo as gerações vindouras, não apenas pelo seu esforço em prol da arte que realizava, mas principalmente por seus sonhos e suas lutas, arrebatando problemas e mais problemas, transformando os limões que lhe eram dados em deliciosas limonadas.
