An experiment conducted at the Federal University of São Carlos demonstrated that applying low-intensity light had a hypotensive effect on rats that became hypertensive due to a reduction in hormones, a process characteristic of aging in the female reproductive system.
Researchers compared the repertoire of long non-coding RNAs in humans with those of rhesus monkeys, mice, and chickens and noted that these structures played a role in functional specialization throughout evolution.
Preliminary data suggest that the population in this area of southwestern Pará state is more exposed to infection than average due to a lack of access to healthcare and greater contact with sex workers.
Brazilian research shows that stellate pancreatic cells produce periostin, remodeling tissue and facilitating tumor infiltration, a key mechanism of the aggressiveness and high mortality of the disease.
