Another co-author is Gustavo Gasta Davanzo, a PhD candidate at IB-UNICAMP with a FAPESP scholarship. “These are very expensive treatments, but we believe that this could be a viable option because there are not as many critically ill patients as there were at the beginning of the pandemic, provided that further studies confirm that it is safe for patients with COVID- 19”, Moraes – said Vieira. Mouse coronavirus The hypothesis tested in the study arose when Uruguayan [...]

Research by groups at the University of São Paulo and the State University of Campinas combined MRI scans of the brains of mild COVID-19 patients, analysis of brain tissue from people who died of the disease and experiments on human nerve cells infected in the laboratory.

In addition to aspergillosis, a disease caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus, there are two other groups of co-infections with COVID-19. Fungi of the order Mucorales are responsible for mucormycosis, which occurs mainly in India and Pakistan, while yeasts of the genus Candida cause candidiasis and are present almost worldwide. “Patients with this co-infection are twice as likely to die as patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 alone,” said Martin Hoenigl, first author of the [...]

If you thought that James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was impressive, think again. With $205 million in new funding to accelerate construction, the Giant Magellan Telescope is poised to become the most powerful telescope…ever. It will be used to search for habitable planets, study the universe’s first galaxies and try to explain mysteries like dark matter and energy. The Giant Magellan Telescope will receive $205 million in funding The $205 million check is one of the largest [...]

A group of researchers managed to convert methane into methanol using light and dispersed transition metals such as copper in a process known as photooxidation. According to a research paper published in the Chemical communications reaction was the best obtained to date for the conversion of gaseous methane to liquid fuel at ambient temperature and pressure (25 °C and 1 bar, respectively). The term bar as a unit of pressure comes from the Greek word for weight (baros). One bar is [...]

Article published in the magazine Frontiers of cellular and infectious microbiology reports a study by researchers from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil that shows how a human protein interacts with the SARS-CoV-2 protein and describes one of the ways the virus causes COVID- 19 recruits cells for replication. In laboratory tests, researchers inhibited the interaction between molecules with the help of drugs and thereby reduced [...]

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil analyzed data from 43 scientific articles describing the effects of COVID-19 on athletes and concluded that while the disease was asymptomatic or mild in the vast majority of cases (94%), about 8% of the subjects concerned had persistent symptoms affecting their performance and potentially preventing a return to training and competing. The data they analyzed referred to some 11,500 athletes, including amateurs and [...]

A research team led by scientists from the University of São Paulo (USP) in São Carlos, Brazil, identified a number of biologically active compounds in a sea sponge collected on Fernando de Naronha, an archipelago about 400 km off the coast of the northeastern region of Brazil. . Some of the substances have been shown to be able to destroy bacteria that are resistant to currently available antibiotics, which opens the way to the development of new drugs. The research was [...]
