Vaccines Effective Against Omicron Because It Contains Previously Identified Mutations
Publicado em 09 fevereiro 2022
Omicron emerged as a variant of concern only in November 2021, but all the mutations it contains except one had been described before that.
Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil, supported by FAPESP, attribute this factor to the effectiveness of the existing vaccines against the variant, reflected in the relatively small number of severe cases and deaths despite omicron’s heightened transmissibility.
The hypothesis is raised in an article by [...]

Brazilian researchers develop novel method for 3D printing brain cells
Publicado em 07 fevereiro 2022Researchers from the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have developed a new method to 3D print brain cells that are capable of surviving for at least 14 days after printing. Funded by a research grant from the Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), the study resulted in a model that is reportedly more similar to neural tissue than existing protocols, and which can be used to better understand the functionality of neural cells in relation to central nervous system [...]ver notícia
