To avoid the problem, researchers at the University of São Paulo inserted the compound into pectin-coated nanoparticles, enhancing its bioavailability.
The strategy developed at the University of São Paulo uses magnetic nanoparticles that bind to tiny plastic particles and permit their removal with the aid of a magnet.
International event will be held on May 3-16, 2025, at the University of São Paulo’s campus in São Carlos.
Discoveries by Brazilian researchers belonging to a FAPESP-supported research center could lead to strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease associated with diabetes.
Overuse of water resources in Brazil’s main agricultural frontier region, in conjunction with climate change, is reducing replenishment of the Urucuia aquifer and surface water bodies in the basin of a tributary of the São Francisco, the largest river in the Northeast.
A review article by researchers at the State University of Campinas and Baylor College of Medicine discusses relationships between these two conditions, identifying biomarkers that can help clinicians make a differential diagnosis.
Of the 875 deep techs mapped nationwide, 28% have received funding from FAPESP’s Innovative Research in Small Business Program (PIPE), says the report produced by consultancy Emerge in partnership with Cubo Itaú, an important private sector incubator.
At the Barreiro Rico Ecological Station in Anhembi, different approaches are shared between researchers in an effort to understand the relationship between the forest and the Southern muriqui, and to connect populations by means of ecological corridors. Fire prevention in the area has allowed the group to thrive after almost disappearing.
Brachycephalus dacnis is the seventh species of flea toad identified and is larger only than an individual of a closely related species found in southern Bahia state, Brazil. The study published in PeerJ was led by a group at the State University of Campinas.
The mutations were mapped by a group at the Federal University of São Paulo and collaborators in an analysis of mitochondrial genomes. Thirteen increase the risk of ALS and 38 are protective.
Representatives of the UK Government’s Department for Education and FAPESP discussed strategies to promote more collaboration between researchers based in São Paulo state and at the best British universities.
The platform, which was developed with FAPESP’s support, uses a clinical protocol based on cognitive behavioral therapy. The startup responsible participated in a business delegation to FAPESP Week Italy.
Vertical eye movements increased body sway in an experiment involving volunteers with the disease conducted by researchers at São Paulo State University (Brazil) and the University of Lille (France).
Material was compared with conventional dentifrice through in vitro tests on bovine teeth.
The purpose of the meeting was to align strategies and discuss ways of increasing scientific collaboration among researchers supported by the two institutions.
In a study of patients with metastatic lung cancer and cachexia, researchers at the University of São Paulo and Harvard Medical School found that treatment was more likely to succeed in physically fitter patients.
CEFAVELA, the latest of FAPESP’s Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers, was officially launched on October 7 at the Federal University of the ABC.
A study conducted by researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) suggests that species thought to be distributed worldwide probably do not exist in Central and South America. At the same time, a wide array of environments and few specimens from the region point to the likelihood of vast species richness.
Located in different parts of the country, the centers will conduct research in science, technology and innovation addressing problems that can be solved by AI in such areas as health, agriculture, manufacturing, and smart cities.
The work plan for the next five years was signed by representatives of the two agencies on October 16th in Bologna.
Nominated in the “Academic Leadership” category, Lucia Helena Mascaro, from the Federal University of São Carlos, is the director of the Center for the Development of Functional Materials, funded by FAPESP.
Designed for use by the academic and school community, the cartographic database totals 572 polygons, of which 48% are clubs and cemeteries.
One of the raw materials studied by the group is cashew nut shell liquid, a by-product of oilseed processing; work was presented during FAPESP Week Italy.
