Could a father’s health before conception influence his children’s long-term metabolism and disease risk? The study also identified molecular changes in sperm caused by obesity, helping explain how paternal health before conception may directly influence the long-term metabolic health of offspring. Importantly, the researchers found that these obesity-related changes were reversible. When obese parents lost weight, the biological markers associated with obesity disappeared from the [...]

Copaifera lucens extract neutralizes 93% of COVID-19 by blocking its ability to enter and copy itself in host cells. The extract of leaves from a medicinal tree native to Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, known as Copaifera lucens, has potent antiviral properties against COVID-19.(1) Researchers at the University of São Paulo discovered that galloylquinic acids (GQAs) extracted from Copaifera lucens leaves offer a powerful, multi-targeted defense against SARS-CoV-2. The study was led [...]

New research shows that brain cells controlling exhalation can tighten (constrict) blood vessels and cause high blood pressure (hypertension).This discovery explains why 40% of people with hypertension do not respond to standard medication and reveals a new target for treating chronic hypertension.(1) The findings were demonstrated by researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil, and published in the journal Circulation Research. Using animal models (mice), the [...]

Osteoporosis drugs such as bisphosphonates (etidronate and tiludronate) can be repurposed as iron chelators in treating toxic iron overload in conditions like hemochromatosis.The revelation was made by researchers from the University of São Paulo and published in BioMetals.(1) In human cell tests, these bisphosphonates successfully bound to excess iron, reducing oxidative stress and preventing cell damage. The study offers a potential safer alternative to current iron overload [...]

Tara and red algae biopolymer forms a protective hair film, enhancing shine and reducing environmental damage risk. Hair damage caused by heat styling, sunlight exposure and air pollution remains a major cosmetic concern. High temperatures from straighteners and curling tools, ultraviolet radiation and airborne particulate matter can disrupt keratin, the main structural protein responsible for hair strength and elasticity. When keratin’s hydrogen bonds weaken, hair becomes dry, brittle, [...]
