Endorsers are highly effective in promoting customer–brand engagement. New endorsers are emerging owing to the digital explosion. Who promotes brands better - mega or macro-influencers? Traditional celebrities can represent both types of endorsers (mega and macro) with a strong online presence but varying numbers of followers. This study conducted an online survey to determine the antecedents and consequences of endorsers' participation in marketing and communication strategies. The results of path ...

Plant adaptations to cope with shade may vary according to the degree of shade tolerance and nutrient availability for each species. Studies of different understory species and their responses to combined shade and N effects are important to identify ways to optimize the quantity and quality of forage production. Our objective was to measure the dry matter yield (DMY) and nutritive value of six C 4 grasses grown in two systems (full sunlight [FS] vs. a naturally shaded system composed of Eucalyptus ...

The excellent casting behavior and mechanical and corrosion properties of aluminum-silicon (Al-Si)-based alloys make them ideal for the manufacture of lightweight components with complex geometries. However, these properties depend directly on their microstructure, which, in its turn, is strongly affected by the composition of the alloy, among other factors. Several elements can be added to the material aiming to promote microstructural changes, e.g., grain refinement, optimization of phase morphology ...

Infection by Toxoplasma gondii affects around one-third of world population and the treatment for patients presenting toxoplasmosis clinically manifested disease is mainly based by a combination of sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine and folinic acid. However, this therapeutic protocol is significantly toxic, causing relevant dose-related bone marrow damage. Thus, it is necessary to improve new approaches to investigate the usefulness of more effective and non-toxic agents for treatment of patients with ...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly malignant brain tumor, accounts for half of all gliomas. Despite surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, the median survival is between 12 and 15 months. The poor prognosis is due to tumor recurrence attributed to chemoresistant glioma cancer stem cells (GSCs). Here we examined the effects of a novel compound NEO212, which is composed of two covalently conjugated anti-cancer compounds – temozolomide (TMZ) and perillyl alcohol (POH), on GSCs expressing either the proneural ...

Several evidences suggest that glutamate may be involved in retinal neurodegeneration in diabetic retinopathy (DR). For that reason, we investigated whether high glucose or diabetes affect the accumulation and the release of [3H]-d-aspartate, which was used as a marker of the glutamate transmitter pool. The accumulation of [3H]-d-aspartate did not change in cultured retinal neural cells treated with high glucose (30 mM) for 7 days. However, the release of [3H]-d-aspartate, evoked by 50 mM KCl, significantly ...

Resistance to chemotherapy is a challenging problem for treatment of cancer patients and autophagy has been shown to mediate development of resistance. In this study we systematically screened a library of 306 known anti-cancer drugs for their ability to induce autophagy using a cell-based assay. 114 of the drugs were classified as autophagy inducers; for 16 drugs, the cytotoxicity was potentiated by siRNA-mediated knock-down of Atg7 and Vps34. These drugs were further evaluated in breast cancer ...
