Rapid, low-cost, and accurate tests are still required for epidemiological surveillance and healthcare services to monitor and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Brazilian researchers have contributed to this field’s efforts by creating an electrochemical immunosensor that identifies antibodies against the virus. The innovation is described in an article published in the journal ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering. In search of a novel diagnostic method, the group opted for a [...]

Washington [US], September 15 (ANI): A group of researchers has made an important contribution to scientists' understanding of the brain's navigation system by identifying a subtype of these neurons that can gauge speed with great precision, more than a decade after the role of pyramidal neurons in mental representations of space and location was discovered. "In experiments involving animals, we demonstrated an association between the electrical activity of inhibitory [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], May 26 (ANI): A research group at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) has analyzed how Candida albicans fungi and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria influence gene expression and tumour cell survival. An in vitro study conducted by researchers at UNESP in Araraquara, Brazil, shows how fungi and bacteria can activate genes associated with head and neck tumours, as the metabolism of biofilms (communities in which these microorganisms self-organize in a structured and coordinated [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], May 8 (ANI): Brazilian researchers show that the inclusion of soybean and linseed oils in the diet of dairy cows made the fatty acid content of their milk even healthier for human nutrition. It also increased the proportions of omega-6 and omega-3, which in the right balance play a key role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the world's main public health problems. In Brazil, they are among the foremost causes of death. Each year [...]
