Study by a FAPESP-supported research center reveals distinct biochemical pathways that regulate pathogen neutralization and inflammatory responses.
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.
Scientists have collected over 2,600 specimens, forming a genetic reserve that serves as a “savings account” for the future of tilapia farming, which accounts for 65% of farmed fish production in Brazil.
The experimental technology, developed at an Applied Research Center at the State University of Campinas, is already accurate in over 80% of analyses. The research was presented during FAPESP Week London.
At the opening of FAPESP Week, participants celebrated the impact of bilateral cooperation and highlighted artificial intelligence and biotechnology as priority areas for the future.
During FAPESP Week London, expert Fernando Landgraf pointed out that, beyond its mineral potential, the country must master the stages of refining and producing inputs that are globally contested by the United States and China.
A research group at the University of São Paulo is producing liquid crystal nanoparticles containing therapeutic molecules that reduce inflammation in diseases such as psoriasis and vitiligo. The advances were presented at FAPESP Week London.
Computational tools were used to analyze the genetic material of 6,165 samples from 149 different types of Salmonella enterica subspecies
An international seminar organized by the Science Center for the Development of Basic Education brought together experts from eight countries.
Found in the Amazon, Pantanal, and Atlantic Forest, they were distinguished from what was previously known as a single species by integrating morphological analyses, molecular data, and interactions with host plants.
The Flood-Resilient Cities SCD, inaugurated at the Institute for Technological Research, will bring together government, universities, and companies to find solutions to the problem.
With pomegranate peel extract and simvastatin, the product proved effective in combating the infection, inflammation, and periodontal tissue loss caused by the disease.
The research analyzed tumor samples from over a thousand patients treated in Brazil’s national public health system.
The Foundation is promoting the FAPESP Week symposium in England for the third time, with the aim of consolidating and expanding partnerships in strategic areas such as energy transition and artificial intelligence.
Work supported by FAPESP is the result of an initiative by the Brazilian Soil Health Partnership, the Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture, and the Luiz de Queiroz Agricultural Studies Foundation.
The replacement of vegetation with materials such as asphalt, concrete, and masonry exacerbates warming, says a researcher from the University of São Paulo at an event organized by FAPESP and the NWO.
Recently published studies led by Brazilian scientists indicate an extension of the dry season from four to six months and an increase in the water deficit of more than 150 millimeters. These studies serve as a warning for 2026 and 2027, when a “super El Niño” is forecast.
Analysis of data from over 5,000 territories and 1,924 species of toads and frogs shows that two of the main theories about the biodiversity of plants, birds, and mammals in these habitats do not explain the richness of anuran amphibians on their own.
Two unprecedented studies indicate that early nutritional monitoring can directly impact patient survival.
Research indicates that rivers in different regions of the planet are undergoing profound transformations that exceed their capacity for resilience.
Experiments with rodents show that metabolic dysfunction is “transmitted” to offspring through molecules present in sperm, causing them to become pre-diabetic. This phenomenon is reversible through weight loss before conception.
Study helps to understand how the disorder evolves with time and paves the way for future personalized treatments.
The study identified cultivars that maintain high productivity and resilience against attacks from the disease, paving the way for more sustainable cultivation in the region
A FAPESP-funded study using whole-genome data from across the continent tells a more detailed story of its settlement. The study was featured on the cover of Nature.
