These are kitchens that operate without a physical restaurant or storefront and solely rely on online orders for their business. The study was conducted by the Brazilian Association of Bars and [...]

A new study has found that substituting tolerant species for sensitive ones can help balance ecosystems in agricultural areas. The study, which was conducted by a team of researchers from several universities, looked at the effects of replacing sensitive plant species with more tolerant ones in agricultural fields. The researchers found that the substitution of tolerant species had a positive impact on the ecosystem, as it helped to maintain biodiversity and improve soil quality. The study [...]

FAPESP An article published on July 31 in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals that Luzio, the oldest human skeleton found in São Paulo state (Brazil), was a descendant of the ancestral population that settled the Americas at least 16,000 years ago and gave rise to all present-day Indigenous peoples, such as the Tupi. Based on the largest set of Brazilian archaeological genomic data, the study reported in the article also offers an explanation for the disappearance of the oldest [...]

A recent study has found that a compound can reduce inflammation in COVID-19-infected mice without compromising their immune response to the virus. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco. The compound, called TAT CARMIL1, works by targeting a protein called interleukin-1 (IL-1), which is known to play a role in inflammation. Inflammation is a key feature of COVID-19, and can lead to severe lung damage and other complications. The researchers [...]

Novel Targets Identified for Treatment of Schistosomiasis Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by a type of flatworm called Schistosoma. It is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, affecting over 200 million people worldwide. The disease is transmitted through contact with contaminated water, usually in areas where sanitation is poor. Schistosomiasis can cause chronic health problems such as liver damage, kidney failure, and bladder cancer. Current treatments for [...]

A new study has found that consuming soluble dietary fiber can help renew intestinal epithelial cells, which are responsible for absorbing nutrients and protecting the body from harmful substances. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, was conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They found that mice fed a diet high in soluble fiber had a higher number of intestinal epithelial cells compared to those fed a low-fiber [...]

Novel Compound Combats Drug-Resistant Fungi When Combined with Commercially Available Medications   Drug-resistant fungi are a growing concern in the medical community.
