Abstract

Brains have evolved to solve the challenges of surviving. From the innate reaction of a prey to the sight of a predator to the use of tools for obtaining food, the brain continuously acquires, stores and uses information to generate adaptive behaviours.

Ao longo de três dias de palestras, debates e troca de ideias, sobre o tema “Códigos Neuronais e Imunitários no Cancro”, um princípio foi transversal a todas as sessões: os tumores não existem em isolamento. As células cancerosas interagem permanentemente com o meio que as rodeia, incluindo com células imunitárias, vasos sanguíneos e nervos, e respondem a sinais próximos e distantes. Compreender estas interações poderá transformar a forma como prevenimos e tratamos o cancro.

A Fundação Champalimaud pretende recrutar Enfermeiros para integrar a Unidade de Neuropsiquiatria.

Sobre a Unidade de Neuropsiquiatria

A Unidade de Neuropsiquiatria constitui uma interface singular entre o Centro Clínico e a Champalimaud Research. É uma estrutura clínica de excelência dedicada ao diagnóstico e tratamento em saúde mental e comportamental, focando-se em áreas particulares de intervenção que se encontram em continuidade com a investigação desenvolvida na Fundação Champalimaud.

Uma conferência para promover o diálogo e explorar todas as etapas do percurso do cancro da mama

Abstract

Although the brain has been historically considered to be devoid of immune cells, we have contributed to studies demonstrating that central nervous system (CNS) border tissues, particularly the dura mater, house a diverse network of immune cells. These border immune cells can respond to circulating cues and have unexpected connections with the gastrointestinal tract.
