Tibi and Quequé are Natalia’s imaginary friends since she was little. They are always hanging out with her, watching her grow up. And that is exactly what this book is all about: their adventures together, entertaining and teaching about the day by day of any child. Guilherme Jotapê Rodrigues’ beautiful illustrations are for colouring and they make the book even more fascinating. Daniela Manole wrote the book together with her daughter Natalia – the main character is named after her. Inspired by memories of the girl’s childhood – Natalia is a teenager now! –, mother and daughter dive deep into their imagination and create the magic world of Tibi and Quequé. The prologue was written by Fabio Ancona Lopez, paediatrician, vice-president of the Brazilian Society of Paediatrics, and Natalia’s doctor since she was a little girl. Target audience: children from 2 to 10 years old.
In 1953, when he was 19 years old, Ivens started working with his father Manuel, a Portuguese immigrant. In less than three decades, he turned Padaria Fortaleza (Fortaleza Bakery) into one of the largest industrial groups in Latin America in the cookies and pasta industry.

However, his most special feature is actually his character and the singular way he relates to people. Sergio Vilas-Boas conducted 80 interviews to compose this profile, shedding light on the causes and consequences of the positive unanimity of this discrete and methodical gentleman who, with dedication and perspicacity, immensely contributed to the socioeconomic progress of Brazil’s Northeast region.

How stem cells behave is very much a factor of their local microenvironment, also known as the stem cell niche. Physical, chemical, or electrical signals from the neighboring cells or biochemical signals from distant cells are crucial in the cell fate decision process. A major challenge of tissue engineering is to mimic the natural cell environment by designing very sophisticated scaffolds able not only to mechanically support cells, but also to release signals biologically relevant for governing stem cell fate. In addition, increasing evidence suggests that abnormal interaction of stem cells with their niche is responsible for altered cell function leading to malignant transformation. This ...
