AI-supported blood test could enable earlier leprosy detection
Publicado em 08 de abril de 2026
A new diagnostic approach combining a blood test, a standardized questionnaire, and artificial intelligence may significantly improve early detection of leprosy, particularly in endemic regions such as Brazil. Researchers from the University of São Paulo report promising results in a study.
Leprosy remains a major public health challenge, with more than 200,000 new cases reported annually worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Early diagnosis is critical but difficult, as [...]

Smart biomaterials accelerate healing and reduce implant failure
Publicado em 11 novembro 2025Brazilian researchers and medtech innovators are redefining the future of implants and regenerative healing. New smart biomaterials developed by the startup Extremus Smart Surfaces can transform conventional medical implants into intelligent devices that interact with human cells, accelerating tissue regeneration and dramatically lowering failure rates. The innovation stems from a pressing clinical need. A study at the University of São Paulo’s Hospital das Clínicas found [...]ver notícia -
Machine learning and cell imaging predict MS drug effectiveness
Publicado em 26 setembro 2025Brazilian and French researchers have developed an innovative tool that combines machine learning with high-content cell imaging (HCI) to predict how patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) will respond to natalizumab, one of the most widely used therapies for the disease. The findings mark a significant step toward precision medicine in neurology. Natalizumab is an effective monoclonal antibody therapy that reduces relapses and slows MS progression. However, up to 35% of patients experience a [...]ver notícia
