Capybara belly may aid biofuel development
Publicado em 03 maio 2022
Converting agroindustrial waste into molecules of interest to society, such as biofuels and biochemicals, is one of the ways to mitigate dependence on oil and other fossil fuels. As one of the world’s largest producers of plant biomass, Brazil is well-placed to lead this transition, but lignocellulosic raw materials (containing lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose) are hard to deconstruct, or (morely put) recalcitrant to microbial and enzymatic degradation .
Scientists in Brazil are [...]

Gene Therapy Reverses Effects of Autism-Linked Mutation in Brain Organoids
Publicado em 03 maio 2022In a study published May 02, 2022 in Nature Communications, scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine used human brain organoids to reveal how a genetic mutation associated with a profound form of autism disrupts neural development. Using gene therapy tools to recover the gene’s function effectively rescued neural structure and function. Several neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia have been [...]ver notícia
