 Researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP), in collaboration with the Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL), have identified high levels of toxic substances in plastic toys sold in Brazil. The study analyzed 70 domestically manufactured and imported products, making it the most comprehensive study ever conducted in Brazil on chemical contamination in children’s products. The results were published in the journal Exposure and Health. Supported by FAPESP [...]

 A simple imaging exam capable of assessing myocardial deformation during contraction has emerged as a promising tool for predicting the risk of cardiac complications in patients with chronic Chagas disease. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Ribeirão Preto in partnership with researchers from Duke University and Yale (both in the United States), highlights the global longitudinal strain (GLS) index – already used in other diseases and conditions [...]

Recent findings from a study published in Nature Communications shed light on the remarkable resilience and adaptability of early humans in the face of environmental challenges. For nearly 300,000 years, inhabitants of Kenya's Turkana Basin engaged in the meticulous crafting of stone tools amidst recurring wildfires, droughts, and significant environmental fluctuations. The research, which uncovered evidence of an enduring technological tradition, provides valuable insights into the [...]

New study led by Prof. Edouard Pesquet reveals how lignins' chemistry varies in plant cells, enhancing physiological functions. Published in New Phytologist. New Study Reveals Plant Lignins' Varied Chemistry Lignins—the complex molecules that make plants sturdy and allow them to grow tall—are not as random as once thought. A new international study led by Prof. Edouard Pesquet at Stockholm University uncovers how lignins' chemistry and structure vary between cell types to [...]
