New Experimental Model for Proteasome-Mitochondrial Interaction
Publicado em 30 junho 2025Agência FAPESP* – A study by the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) led by Marilene Demasi from the Butantan Institute (São Paulo, Brazil) presents a valuable new experimental model for investigating the interaction between the proteasome and mitochondrial function. In eukaryotic cells, the proteasome is a protein complex responsible for eliminating damaged and nonfunctional proteins, thereby helping to maintain cellular balance and proper functioning. In recent [...]ver notícia -
Study Shows Intestinal Hormone Regulates Energy in Mice
Publicado em 26 junho 2025Research carried out on mice has revealed how a hormone released by the intestine acts on the brain and helps regulate the body’s energy expenditure. FGF19 (fibroblast growth factor 19) activates mechanisms that stimulate the use of more energy, burn fat, and favor weight control and blood glucose levels in obese animals. These effects were associated with the action of FGF19 in the hypothalamus, a specific brain region that integrates peripheral and environmental signals to regulate [...]ver notícia -
New Sunflower Flour Meat Substitute Developed by ITAL and UNICAMP
Publicado em 24 junho 2025Researchers from the Institute of Food Technology (ITAL) and the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), both in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in collaboration with scientists from the Fraunhofer IVV Institute in Germany, have developed a food product made from sunflower flour that can be used as a meat substitute. The ingredient is obtained by extracting oil from the seeds of the plant. In order for it to be consumed by humans, the husks and phenolic compounds from the grains must be removed [...]ver notícia -

Global Minerals Trust Proposal for Fair Access to Critical Minerals RSS
Publicado em 05 junho 2025Amid intensifying trade wars, geopolitical tensions, and surging demand for AI and clean energy technologies, United Nations scientists and global experts have unveiled a bold proposal for a "Global Minerals Trust"—a cooperative, multilateral governance mechanism to ensure fair, sustainable, and conflict-free access to critical minerals. The Trust would include independent audit mechanisms—similar to those used by the International Atomic Energy Agency—to ensure environmental and [...]ver notícia -
Researchers Evaluate Efficiency of Using Corn Stover for Bioderivatives
Publicado em 30 maio 2025In a study published in the Biofuel Research Journal, researchers affiliated with the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR) in Brazil evaluated the efficiency and environmental impact of using corn stover with a technique that uses pure water as the only solvent for extracting bioderivatives. Corn stover, an abundant agricultural by-product often discarded, is rich in lignocellulosic compounds, such as hemicellulose, [...]ver notícia -

Insulin Resistance in Brain Links Alzheimer's and Epilepsy
Publicado em 21 maio 2025Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have succeeded in showing, in an animal model, that the process of insulin resistance in the brain affects both Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy and may be a linking factor between the two diseases. The work, supported by FAPESP, confirms clinical evidence that people with epilepsy are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as they age. It is also not uncommon for people with Alzheimer’s disease to have seizures. [...]ver notícia -
