Brazilian researchers identify cell molecule that drives cancer progression
Publicado em 18 de junho de 2026
Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have identified a molecule on the surface of cells that could be a promising therapeutic target against cancer. This molecule plays an important role in tumor progression by regulating cellular behavior.
Supported by FAPESP, the study showed that the overexpression of the Sindecam-4 (SDC4) receptor provides tumor cells with a protective shield. In a laboratory experiment, the researchers silenced the receptor and halted [...]

New biomarker predicts gastric cancer outcomes from CT scans
Publicado em 17 junho 2026Researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, have identified a new biomarker that may help determine the prognosis for patients with gastric cancer, the fifth most common type of cancer worldwide. The team identified a variable that combines data on the radiodensity of visceral fat and muscle by analyzing images from computed tomography (CT) scans, a routine examination for these patients. This variable is capable of distinguishing those at higher risk of [...]News Medical (Austrália) -
New Marker Refines Gastric Cancer Prognosis

Climate Change Ups Soy Yield, Dents Bean Quality
Publicado em 16 junho 2026A study published by Food Research International analyzed the triple effect of climate change on soybean quality – increased carbon dioxide (CO₂), high temperatures, and drought. Using predictive modeling powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and based on experimentally verified data, the study assessed how these pressures would affect the beans. It concluded that the seeds would change their composition, producing 50% more beans but of lower nutritional quality. The study was led [...]Mirage News (Austrália) -
Poison Dart Frogs Evolved to Accumulate Dietary Toxins
Publicado em 16 junho 2026There is a group of colorful amphibians that are known for storing defensive alkaloids in glands on their skin. These species, known as poison dart frogs, possess mechanisms that capture toxins obtained from the arthropods that make up their diet, transport them, and store them. The frogs use these toxins to defend themselves against predators and pathogens. Some species even transform certain substances into more toxic ones before storing them. Scientists have long debated how this [...]Mirage News (Austrália) -
Parks can cool neighborhoods and cut pollution hundreds of meters beyond their boundaries, study finds
Publicado em 15 junho 2026Urban parks could play a major role in protecting people from rising heat, pollution and noise in cities, according to new research led by the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE). In a study published in City and Environment Interactions, researchers used high-frequency monitoring to assess how parks influence air temperature, particle pollution and noise levels. The team carried out tests in and around Stoke Park, the largest park in Guildford, Surrey, [...]AzoCleantech.com (Austrália) -
Research Reveals Evolution of Parental Care in Harvestmen
Publicado em 15 junho 2026Citizen science data from popular platform iNaturalist has helped uncover the evolution of parental guarding behaviour in harvestmen, as shown in research published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society. Combining nearly three decades of fieldwork with data from iNaturalist, an international team of researchers led by a scientist from the University of São Paulo have more than doubled the number of documented cases of parental care in harvestmen. As a result, the evolution of [...]Mirage News (Austrália) -
Anti-Inflammatory Molecule Promising in Parkinson's Study
Publicado em 13 junho 2026Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered a new strategy that may protect neurons and other brain cells involved in Parkinson's disease in the future. The results of the study, which was conducted in mice, were published in the journal Neuropharmacology. The study, which was supported by FAPESP , evaluated the effect of a peptide (Ac2-26) – a fragment of a protein (Annexin A1) – on the disease. This protein is produced naturally in [...]Mirage News (Austrália) -
