A new blood test combined with a standardized questionnaire and artificial intelligence may transform the way leprosy is diagnosed in Brazil. Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) tested the new test in Brazil using blood samples collected during a COVID-19 population survey. The method showed potential for identifying the disease earlier, in its initial stages, when symptoms are subtle and traditional laboratory tests often fail. The new diagnostic method was evaluated in a [...]

A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant progress in understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and intestinal cells. The study, published in the journal Gut Microbes, showed how microbiota and the compounds it produces, such as butyrate, influence the functioning of cells that line the large intestine. This intestinal layer is in close contact with bacteria and produces mucus that contributes [...]

O Estudo da FAPESP que Revela o Potencial do Hidrogênio Verde no Brasil O hidrogênio verde surge como uma peça-chave na transição energética global, especialmente para o Brasil, que possui uma das matrizes energéticas mais renováveis do mundo. Um estudo recente financiado pela Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) mapeou as regiões brasileiras com maior potencial para produção e consumo desse combustível limpo, destacando oportunidades para a [...]

From the deep-time silence of the Eocene swamps to the seismic rumblings of the modern savanna, the elephant is not merely a charismatic giant but the keystone of our planetary machinery—and its dismantling is a crisis of both biology and conscience. Introduction: The Silence of the Giants In the cathedral-like gloom of the Congo Basin, beneath a canopy that knits together to blot out the equatorial sun, a sound exists that is felt before it is heard. It is a shudder in the air, a [...]

The latest findings from the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at Trinity College Dublin identify important brain health implications for prevention, public health, and policy. An international study published across 34 countries shows that the biological age of the brain can be accelerated or delayed by environmental risk (air pollution, public housing conditions) and protective factors (socioeconomic equality, access to healthcare). The stronger effects arise from interactions among [...]

Amid the climate crisis and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogen has emerged as one of the most promising energy sources for the transition to a low-carbon economy. When produced from renewable sources, it can serve as a clean fuel, strategic industrial input, and means of energy storage. In the Brazilian context, hydrogen production from ethanol, especially when derived from biomass, is a particularly promising pathway. Brazil has a well-established infrastructure [...]
