Brazilian study identifies potential targets for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis
Publicado em 14 de outubro de 2024
(Press-News.org) Researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have characterized for the first time a class of proteins present in the parasite Leishmania infantum and involved in regulating its cell cycle. In an article published in PLOS Pathogens, they describe potential pharmaceutical targets for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. Existing therapeutic strategies are [...]

Climate change can alter methane emission and uptake in the Amazon
Publicado em 10 outubro 2024Researchers conducted an experiment to observe the effects on soil samples of extreme conditions in the laboratory. Their findings show that the balance of greenhouse gas emissions from microbial decomposition organic matter may change. Extreme temperatures and humidity levels (excessive rain or drought) projected for the Amazon in the context of climate change may increase the volume of methane-producing microorganisms in flooded areas and reduce potential uptake of this greenhouse gas in [...]ver notícia -
How emissions from Brazilian Pantanal's soda lakes contribute to climate change
Publicado em 30 setembro 2024Seasonal variations with alternating dry and rainy seasons and fluctuating levels of nutrients are factors that significantly influence greenhouse gas emissions from soda lakes in the Pantanal, considered less common than emissions from freshwater lakes. The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland, with an area of 153,000 km2, mostly (77.41%) in southwestern Brazil, but also partly in Bolivia (16.41%) and Paraguay (6.15%). A study...
