Aquatic plants can be effective in removing contamination of estuary by iron mine tailings, study shows
Publicado em 31 de março de 2022
Brazilian researchers have analyzed the mechanisms by which estuarine plants absorb iron, and used their findings to recommend a promising phytoremediation technique for the rehabilitation of water and soil contaminated by environmental disasters such as the 2015 collapse of the Fundão iron mine tailings dam in Mariana, Minas Gerais state (Southeast Brazil). An article on the study is published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials.
The researchers conclude [...]

A model that mimics malformation associated with severe epilepsy paves way to novel therapies
Publicado emFocal cortical dysplasia is a malformation of the cerebral cortex associated with one of the most severe types of epilepsy. Treatment is difficult owing to a lack of effective drugs or access to surgery. A new human model developed by researchers at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, using organoids cultured from patients’ cells has now opened up opportunities to test more specific therapies and medications. In partnership with a group at the [...]ver notícia -
Even mild or moderate COVID-19 can affect the cardiovascular system in young adults, study shows
Publicado emA study conducted at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil shows that even mild to moderate infection by SARS-CoV-2 can cause an imbalance in the cardiovascular system of young adults without pre-existing diseases. The researchers also concluded that both obesity and a low level of physical activity are key factors in post-COVID that help alter the autonomic nervous system, which regulates such vital functions as blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. A study conducted at [...]ver notícia
