Solar panel microorganisms can generate biotechnological products
Publicado em 04 novembro 2021
Imagine someone capable of withstanding sudden changes in temperature, little water and hours and hours of sunshine. That someone exists, or rather, “someones”: they are extremophiles, microorganisms capable of continuing to live in extreme conditions in which few species would survive. Brazilian researchers have found organisms of this type living in solar panels — and are now researching practical applications with them that could revolutionize biotechnology.

Gamma variant of coronavirus is more aggressive, study shows
Publicado em 07 agosto 2021Crossing genomic sequencing data with epidemiological analyzes carried out in the city of São José do Rio Preto (SP), a group of researchers managed to demonstrate that the P.1 variant, known today as gamma, is linked to an increase in more severe cases and incidence. of deaths by covid-19 in that city. Hosted in the form of pre-publication (pre-print), that is, not yet reviewed by other scientists, on the medRxiv server at the end of last month, the study showed that the arrival [...]ver notícia -

Covid-19: Scientists Create Test Using Firefly Enzyme
Publicado em 18 julho 2021Researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) have created a new test that detects antibodies against the new coronavirus. To do this, they combined an enzyme found in fireflies with a protein capable of binding to the virus that causes covid-19. Using bioluminescence, the positive test “glows”. What is bioluminescence? The phenomenon that receives the name of bioluminescence is the transformation of chemical energy into light. It takes place from a catalytic [...]ver notícia -
Covid-19: coronavirus infects and replicates in salivary glands
Publicado em 01 julho 2021The virus responsible for covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infects and replicates in salivary gland cells. The discovery was made by researchers from the Faculty of Medicine of USP (FMUSP), with support from the Foundation for Research Support of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP), and recently published in Journal of Pathology. The study helps to explain to the world why the new coronavirus is found in large quantities in human saliva. Salivary glands in the sights of scientists The USP team [...]ver notícia -
Most cities in SP are not prepared for climate change
Publicado em 10 junho 2021Most municipalities in the State of São Paulo are not prepared for climate change. To minimize the impact of predicted extremes for the coming years and decades, cities need to have the capacity to formulate public policies that facilitate the reform of their housing and transport systems, for example, but two-thirds (66%) of municipalities paulistas have a low capacity for urban adaptation. This is what a new study published in the journal Climatic Change by researchers from the [...]ver notícia
