A study of more than 5,000 people over 12 years showed that simple measures to assess the two conditions can facilitate the diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity without complex tests, such as MRI and CT scans. This finding expands access to treatment for older adults.

Analysis of 309 strains collected in eight countries indicates that the genus Escovopsis emerged 56.9 million years ago, but only began interacting with today’s mutualistic ants 38 million years ago, challenging the theory that they all emerged at the same time.

The Center for Favela Studies project was launched in the municipality of Jacareí, São Paulo state, using data from the state system that registers low-income families in social assistance programs.
At the FAPESP Day Uruguay symposium, Pedro Brancalion, a professor at the University of São Paulo, presented the results of a project that aims to leverage the country’s carbon credit market.
A review of 467 studies also points out that, instead of alleviating feelings of fear and anxiety, weapons increase them, as well as exacerbating controlling behaviors and causing domestic violence.
Unprecedented footage of jaguar cichlid being preyed upon was captured after heavy rains caused the overflow of freshwater into Sueste Bay, the species’ feeding ground.
Researchers at São Paulo State University are investigating how hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman’s life influence the immune system and how physical exercise can mitigate these effects.
Startup supported by FAPESP maps bacteria present in pets’ intestines to offer personalized diet suggestions.
Study identifies 167 native species of the Atlantic Forest with bioeconomic applications: 58% in the medical field, 12% in cosmetics, and 5% in the food sector; 78 species (46.7%) have patents registered in 61 countries, only 8% of them in Brazil.
A study by a FAPESP-supported research center showed that the surfaces change when an electron beam is applied. The material has potential for applications in semiconductors, antibacterial agents, gas sensors, and more.

Combining field research data with climate model projections, a study has reconstructed the activity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation – one of the main drivers of the Earth’s climate – throughout the Holocene. Projected scenarios for the future are unlike anything seen in the last 6,500 years.
Project developed in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, allows for the highly efficient extraction of aromatic and bioactive compounds, reducing logistics costs and increasing beer quality.
Analyses show that a sugarcane spittlebug, found in the Southeast and South of Brazil since the 1960s, was mistaken for other species that are similar to the naked eye.
The topic was addressed in a workshop organized by the project “Democlites – Democracy, Climate, and Ecological and Social Transition,” a joint initiative of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and USP supported by FAPESP.
