Previous dengue infection significantly increases the risk of symptomatological COVID-19
Publicado em 18 maio 2021
A study published in the journal in May this year Clinical infections People who have had dengue fever in the past have suggested that if they are infected with the new coronavirus, they are twice as likely to develop the symptoms of COVID-19.
The results of this study are based on the analysis of blood samples from 1,285 inhabitants of Mansiorima, a small town in the state of Acre, which is part of the Amazon region of Brazil. The main researcher was Marcelo Urbano Ferreira, a professor at [...]

Sepsis can cause alterations in the functioning of defense cells that lead to death
Publicado em 12 maio 2021An article published in Frontiers in Immunology suggests that sepsis can cause alterations in the functioning of defense cells that persist even after the patient is discharged from hospital. This cellular reprogramming creates a disorder the authors call post-sepsis syndrome, whose symptoms include frequent reinfections, cardiovascular alterations, cognitive disabilities, declining physical functions, and poor quality of life. The phenomenon explains why so many patients who survive sepsis [...]ver notícia -

Researchers identify inflammatory mechanisms associated with bone damage in rheumatoid arthritis
Publicado em 18 março 2021In a study aimed at investigating the mechanisms that exacerbate rheumatoid arthritis in smokers, researchers at the Center for Inflammatory Diseases Research (CRID), which is linked to the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil, found a new pathway for the inflammatory process. Found related to bone damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis. This discovery opens up new therapeutic intervention opportunities to mitigate the effects of the disease, for which there is currently no specific [...]ver notícia -
Valproic acid can interact with DNA conformation and regulate gene expression
Publicado em 29 setembro 2020Results of recent studies involving valproic acid, used for decades as an anti-convulsant drug, show that it can interact with the conformation of DNA and regulate gene expression. These are some of the key findings from a project led by biologist Maria Luiza S. Mello at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state São Paulo, Brazil, with the collaboration of Benedicto de Campos Vidal, Emeritus Professor in the Biology Institute’s Department of Structural and Functional [...]ver notícia
