Mouse Study Reveals Dual Nature of Fasting
Publicado em 21 de agosto de 2024
Recent research from MIT reveals the dual effects of fasting on intestinal health, highlighting both its regenerative benefits and potential cancer risks. Low-calorie diets and intermittent fasting are known to delay age-related diseases and extend lifespan by enhancing the regenerative abilities of intestinal stem cells. However, the new study published in Nature, has identified a critical pathway activated during "refeeding" after fasting that boosts regeneration but also increases [...]

Study reveals IL-22BP protein's role in gut health and infection resistance
Publicado em 29 julho 2024A study reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) shows how the presence of a specific protein called IL-22BP affects the composition of the gut microbiota and the body's response to bacterial infection. We discovered that mice that don't produce this protein are more protected against intestinal infections by bacteria like Clostridioides difficile and Citrobacter rodentium." Marco Aurélio Ramirez Vinolo, co-author of the article He is a [...]ver notícia -
Omics Study Delves Into Neurobiological Mechanisms Associated with Suicide
Publicado emIn a paper published in Psychiatry Research, Brazilian scientists described molecular alterations identified in the blood and brain tissue of individuals who died by suicide. The study aimed to uncover susceptibility factors and potential targets for innovative pharmacological interventions. Globally, over 700,000 people die by suicide annually, with a significant impact on the 15-29 age group where it ranks as the fourth leading cause of death. Risk factors for suicide encompass family [...]ver notícia -
Researchers Uncover SARS-CoV-2’s Main Targets in the Brain
Publicado em 30 setembro 2022Infection from SARs-CoV-2 often results in numerous neurological impacts, resulting in staple symptomology for COVID-19 like loss of smell (anosmia) and migraines. To uncover more about this virus’ mechanisms within the central nervous system, researchers have investigated how COVID-19 impacts brain cells. The Brazilian team has been investigating COVID-19’s role in the brain since 2020, when they released groundbreaking findings revealing that the virus causing COVID-19 infects [...]ver notícia -
Natural Killer Cell Activation Genes Play Role in SARS-CoV-2 Resistance
Publicado em 28 setembro 2021In a study reported on Frontiers in Immunology, Brazilian researchers from Sao Paolo University have taken the first steps toward understanding why some people are naturally resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The results suggest that certain genetic variants found more frequently in resistant subjects are associated with more efficient activation of natural killers (NKs). “Our hypothesis is that the genomic variants most frequently found in the susceptible spouse lead to the production [...]ver notícia
