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.
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.
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.
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.

The research analyzed tumor samples from over a thousand patients treated in Brazil’s national public health system.
Two unprecedented studies indicate that early nutritional monitoring can directly impact patient survival.

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.
Researchers from the universities of São Paulo and Oxford show that the duration of the disorder and severity of symptoms are associated with differences in functional brain connections, which may pave the way for personalized treatments.
Researchers at a FAPESP-supported center developed a new method and identified the infection in two patients who died from acute hemorrhagic and neurological syndrome in São Paulo in 2019 and 2020.
