An animal study has managed to show, for the preceding, how gene-environment interactions during embryonic craniofacial development can give rise to cleft lip and palate. Researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP), in collaboration with the University College London, from the United Kingdom, managed to prove in an animal model that cleft lip and palate, also known as cleft lip, occurs as a result of the association. in two events: one genetic and another caused by inflammation [...]

José Tadeu Arantes FAPESP agency – The relationship between sunspots and solar flares has been extensively investigated in the study of the Sun. Especially because these eruptions associated with coronal mass ejections, where large amounts of energy are released, directly affect our planet, causing a greater occurrence of aurora borealis; blackout in radio communication; increase the effect of jitter on the GPS signal; reduction in speed and altitude of artificial satellites ( Read [...]

Agência Julia Moioli FAPESP Laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is the most well-known treatment for tinnitus sufferers. This was the conclusion of scientists at the Center for Research in Optics and Photonics (CEPOF) after comparing the main therapies currently used and also combinations between them. The results were reported in the Journal of Personalized Medicine. About 750 million people suffer from tinnitus, according to a European study that analyzed five decades of patient [...]

Even milder infections by SARS-CoV-2 can cause structural and functional changes in the brain that can trigger neuropsychiatric manifestations, such as anxiety, depression, fatigue and drowsiness, in addition to compromising well-being, health and capacity. function. to work. This is the conclusion of some studies on COVID-19 presented in the ninth edition of the BRAINN Congress, organized by the Research Institute on Neurosciences and Neurotechnology (BRAINN), a FAPESP Research, Innovation and [...]

Alzheimer's: What kind of exercise can prevent symptoms? Study finds new answers; understand the practice of physical exercise resist as bodybuilding can be prevent or at least delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms and works as a simple and affordable therapy for patients with the disease. The finding was published by researchers from the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) and São Paulo (USP) in the journal. Frontiers in neuroscience Although the elderly [...]

The practice of physical resistance exercise, such as bodybuilding, is able to prevent or at least delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms and work as a simple and accessible therapy for patients with the disease. The finding was published by researchers from the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) and São Paulo (USP) in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience. Although the elderly and patients with dementia are unlikely to be able to engage in high-intensity [...]

A study carried out by researchers from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), in partnership with the University College London (England), showed, for the preceding, the accumulation of abdominal fat is a risk factor for vitamin D insufficiency in people who has more than 50 years. Considered as a hormone, vitamin D performs several functions in the body and its lack can lead to several problems, such as the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and the functioning of the immune [...]

A new tool is used Artificial intelligence developed at the Radiology Institute of the Clínicas Hospital of the University of São Paulo (USP), helps to diagnose early liver lesions in CT scans of the abdomen, accelerate the treatment in more severe cases. The platform, called HepatIA, was built from CT scans of 700 patients, including healthy people and cases of cirrhosis due to hepatitis and cancer. “It is a work that we have been developing since 2018 and it has very [...]

The first phase of the clinical trial of the SpiN-Tec vaccine against covid-19 showed positive results. Developed by researchers from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), it is the first 100% national vaccine, as it does not depend on technology transfer or imports. Preliminary data indicate that it does not present safety issues with volunteers and has the potential to generate an immune response to the virus that causes the disease. After [...]
