Sarcopenia, a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive and extensive decline in skeletal muscle mass, force and function, is widely considered part of aging. Early diagnosis is extremely important and begins with handgrip measurement using a dynamometer. A recent study by researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in São Paulo state, Brazil, collaborating with colleagues at University College London (UCL) in the United Kingdom, concluded that the [...]

AG-490, based on the molecule tyrphostin, was tested on mice and prevented 60% cell death. Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) have identified a substance that can stop the progression of Parkinson’s disease. AG-490, based on the tyrphostin molecule, was tested in mice and prevented 60% cell death. It inhibits one of the channels for calcium to enter the brain cells, one of the mechanisms by which the disease causes the death of neurons. There is no cure for [...]

Simple activities, such as sitting in and getting up from a chair, standing still, and walking a short distance are functions that, when altered, can early predict functional decline, especially in men with abdominal obesity and muscle weakness. This was the topic of research carried out by Dr. Roberta de Oliveira Máximo, under the guidance of Dr. Tiago da Silva Alexandre, at the Postgraduate Program in Physiotherapy at the Federal University of São Carlos.

[서울=뉴시스] Reporter Baek Young-mi = If adolescents consume a lot of highly processed ultra-processed foods, such as sweets, soda, sausages, and ice cream, the risk of obesity increases by 45%, a study found. In particular, the probability of causing visceral obesity, where fat is trapped between the intestines, was 63% higher. According to the Korea Food Communication Forum (KOFRUM) on the 15th, a research team from the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil investigated the effects [...]

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology suggests that sepsis can cause changes in the functioning of defense cells that persist even after hospital discharge. According to the authors, this cellular reprogramming may be associated with the so-called post-sepsis syndrome, whose symptoms include frequent reinfections, cardiovascular changes, cognitive deficiencies, decline in physical functioning and poor quality of life. The phenomenon would explain why most individuals [...]

The consumption of ultra-processed foods can increase the risk of obesity for adolescents by 45%, according to a study by researchers at the University of São Paulo and published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The research also pointed out that a diet with high consumption of this type of product increases the risk of abdominal fat accumulation by 52% and by 63% the chance of visceral fat, among the internal organs. The work was funded by the [...]

The effectiveness of vaccines can be significantly increased, by more than 25%, if chiral gold nanoparticles, oriented to the left, are added as adjuvants. The discovery was made through international collaboration with the participation of Brazilian researchers. Article about it has just been published in the magazine Nature. The study brought together research groups from the universities of Michigan, in the United States, and Jiangnan, in China. The Brazilian participation was led by [...]

Mattel, the maker of the Barbie doll, created six dolls honoring women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics from different parts of the world. One of them is the researcher who led the creation of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, la profesora Sarah Gilbert. Although the scientist said that she had found the creation “very strange” at first, she hoped it would inspire the children. “I hope it is part of it being more normal than girls think about science [...]
