During the 3rd FAPESP 2026 Conference, Ernesto Mané Jr., head of the Science, Technology, and Innovation Sector at the Brazilian Embassy in Buenos Aires, outlined ways to maintain collaboration between the two countries.
Scientists at the State University of Campinas have identified a variable capable of predicting patients at higher risk of unfavorable disease progression by combining data on the radiodensity of visceral fat and muscle.
Molecule found on cell surfaces may pave the way for new therapies against tumor progression.
Estimates indicate that the number of cases has reached 9.4 million across Latin America and the Caribbean since the 1960s, according to articles published by Nature Group journals. The authors warn that strategies to combat the vector, the gunpowder midge, must differ from those used against Aedes.
Announced at FAPESP Week London, the initiative will address the diseases’ global expansion from social, climatic and geopolitical perspectives.
Using AI modeling fed with experimentally validated data, researchers at the University of São Paulo predict the simultaneous impact of high temperatures, drought, and increased CO₂.
Researchers suggest that there are at least four frog phenotypes representing stages in their evolution in the sequestration of alkaloids, which are toxins found in insects and used by some lineages of anuran amphibians to combat predators and pathogens.
Researchers detected pathogenic species of Sporothrix in the internal organs of mammals, birds, and reptiles that were killed by vehicles on Brazilian roads. The study reveals a new reservoir for fungi and highlights the need for surveillance.

In an experiment, the Ac2-26 peptide protected neurons from cell death, which is characteristic of the condition. The study also demonstrated differences in disease progression and protection between males and females.

An experiment conducted at the Federal University of São Paulo showed that only a fraction of copper and magnesium present in Brazil nuts and cashews is rendered available by the human body.
Research conducted at the Federal University of São Paulo showed that the human body may limit the absorption of minerals present in Brazil nuts and cashews.
Encapsulating Beauveria bassiana in a biopolymer made of cellulose and aluminum increased the viability of the fungus from 69% to 85% after five months of storage, providing a more sustainable alternative that releases the bioinsecticide over an extended period and reduces the need for new applications.

Autonomous learning technology developed by a FAPESP-supported startup filters out irrelevant images and reduces human error in surveillance.
Study by a FAPESP-supported research center reveals distinct biochemical pathways that regulate pathogen neutralization and inflammatory responses.
Scheduled for 2027 or 2028, the project aims to serve as a “tool for action,” addressing the disease through the lenses of etiology, climate, social dynamics, and geopolitics. The announcement was made during FAPESP Week London.
The initiative, supported by FAPESP, aims to map genes associated with rare hereditary diseases to create “risk calculators” based on the diversity of the Brazilian population.
