A new study has revealed important insights into how SARS-CoV-2 and its variants escape the immune system. The findings pave the way for new therapeutic approaches against COVID-19. The research of the international team of scientists from the USA, Brazil and Germany focused on the interactions between the virus and the human innate immune system. The study was led by a team from the Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, USA. The results were published in the renowned [...]

BRAZIL – Although the rate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell in 2023, the region is faced by another challenge in the shape of fire affecting the native vegetation that has so far been spared destruction. An article published in the journal Global Change Biology warns that wildfires in old-growth forests rose 152% last year compared with 2022, despite a drop of 16% in the total number of fires throughout the Amazon and a 22% drop in deforestation. In an analysis of [...]

Die Lebensmittel, die in den Haushalten der an der Studie teilnehmenden brasilianischen Familien gefunden wurden, wurden für den künftigen Verzehr gelagert. Die Studie ist die erste in Brasilien, die Biomarker zur Charakterisierung des mit Mykotoxinen in der Ernährung verbundenen Risikos einsetzt. Bei der Analyse von Mehl- und Reisproben, die in Haushalten in Ribeirão Preto im Landesinneren des brasilianischen Bundesstaates São Paulo gelagert wurden, fanden [...]

Las bacterias, los hongos y las arqueas que viven en la tierra prestan diversos servicios ecosistémicos como el almacenamiento de carbono en zonas degradadas y generan la recuperación de sus características autóctonas   AGENCIA FAPESP/DICYT – Las estrategias aplicadas a la restauración de áreas degradadas han mostrado resultados prometedores en tierras del semiárido brasileño, al mejorar también las propiedades [...]

Rio de Janeiro (AFP) – In Brazil, where about 16 wild animals become roadkill every second, a computer scientist has come up with a futuristic solution to this everyday problem: using AI to alert drivers to their presence. Direct strikes on the vast South American country's extensive road network are the top threat to numerous species, forced to live in ever-closer proximity with humans. According to the Brazilian Center for Road Ecology (CBEE), some 475 million vertebrate [...]

There are around 120 coffee varieties worldwide. However, the Arabica variety is at the forefront of coffee production with 70%. However, climate change is increasingly causing yield losses, as the plant is extremely sensitive. It tolerates heat and drought poorly and is therefore more susceptible to disease. What's more, experts believe that suitable areas for coffee cultivation will continue to shrink as a result of climate change. This would also affect Brazil, which is one of the [...]
