O khat (Catha edulis Forsk) é uma planta profundamente enraizada nas tradições sociais e culturais da Península Arábica e da África Oriental. Mastigá-la é uma prática comum no Djibuti e no Iémen, vista como uma forma de preservar as tradições alimentares e de se adaptar aos ambientes locais. Os efeitos psicoactivos do khat devem-se principalmente à catinona, um composto semelhante às anfetaminas, bem como a outras feniletilaminas. Os principais efeitos do khat são eufóricos e estimulantes, melhorando as capacidades físicas e mentais dos utilizadores.A investigação tem explorado a utilização dos alcalóides da khat em tratamentos farmacêuticos. As propriedades citotóxicas do khat recentemente descobertas estão a despertar o interesse no seu potencial como quimioterapia.Apesar dos potenciais benefícios, este livro destaca uma série de questões, incluindo os efeitos do khat, a variabilidade dos efeitos relatados e as limitações metodológicas de alguns estudos. Para além disso, a disparidade na legalidade e regulamentação do khat nos diferentes países complica a implementação de políticas de saúde pública coerentes e eficazes.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...

    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...
