Researchers identify molecular mechanisms leading to Zika-associated microcephaly
Publicado em 19 de setembro de 2022
Researchers in Brazil affiliated with the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), D’Or Institute and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) have identified molecular processes that may help explain microcephaly in babies born to mothers infected by the Zika virus. The research proposes a model at the molecular level to understand the complications caused by infection during pregnancy and paves the way to the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Novel molecules display potent and selective action against ovarian tumor cells
Publicado em 28 janeiro 2020A group led by a researcher affiliated with the University of São Paulo’s São Carlos Chemistry Institute (IQSC-USP) in Brazil has developed a novel palladium compound that acts against ovarian tumor cells without affecting healthy tissues. Palladium is a silvery white metal belonging to the same group as platinum. The molecule acts more selectively and powerfully in vitro than cisplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapy medication that is used to treat several types of cancer [...]ver notícia
