Microplastics Linked to Bone Health Concerns
Publicado em 18 de setembro de 2025
The production and use of over 400 million tons of plastic each year has polluted beaches, rivers, and even the deepest parts of the ocean, reaching depths of up to 11,000 meters. In addition to visible environmental impacts, plastic contributes to climate change. It is estimated that plastic production generates 1.8 billion tons of greenhouse gases per year. Scientific evidence also suggests that using plastic materials in everyday life has impacted human health.
A large number of plastic [...]

Brazil Aquifer Recharge Threatened by Climate Change
Publicado em 16 setembro 2025The global climate crisis could significantly impact the natural replenishment of Brazilian aquifers, reducing the groundwater supply across the country. This is the conclusion of a study by scientists from the University of São Paulo's Institute of Geosciences (IGc-USP) and the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). The scientists analyzed the impact of various climate scenarios on water availability by the end of the century. The study was published in the journal [...]Mirage News (Austrália) -
Ants Shield Plants, Impede Pollination
Publicado em 15 setembro 2025Around 4,000 plant species from different parts of the world secrete nectar outside their flowers, such as on their stems or leaves, through secretory glands known as extrafloral nectaries. Unlike floral nectar, extrafloral nectar does not attract pollinators; rather, it attracts insects that defend plants, such as ants. These insects feed on the sweet liquid and, in return, protect the plant from herbivores. However, this protection comes at a cost. A study published in the [...]Mirage News (Austrália) -
Ancestry and genetic variants influence the risk of colorectal cancer
Publicado em 15 setembro 2025One of the largest Brazilian studies on colorectal cancer has revealed how genetic variations and genetic ancestry can influence the risk of developing the disease. The study, conducted by researchers at Hospital de Amor (formerly Hospital de Câncer de Barretos, in the interior of the state of São Paulo) and other institutions and funded by FAPESP, contributes to understanding the complex genetic reality of a highly mixed population such as Brazil’s. It was published in [...]Oncology News (Austrália) -
Early B cell response prevents Oropouche virus from reaching the brain
Publicado em 14 setembro 2025Research conducted on mice has identified that the rapid response of a specific type of defense cell is essential for controlling Oropouche virus infections and preventing serious neurological damage. Without treatment, "Oropouche fever" causes symptoms including headaches, muscle and joint pain, skin rashes, and vomiting. In severe cases, it can lead to meningitis and encephalitis. Pregnant women are at risk of complications, including miscarriage. These findings will contribute [...]News Medical (Austrália) -

Green tea extract reduces weight and improves glucose control in obese mice
Publicado em 11 setembro 2025Green tea is an ancient beverage recognized for its medicinal and antioxidant properties. It has been widely studied for its beneficial effects on metabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies funded by FAPESP (19/10616-5, 21/08498-4 and 23/11295-3) have deepened our understanding of the mechanisms of action of this infusion and revealed that green tea treatment reduced weight and significantly improved glucose sensitivity and insulin resistance in obese mice. These [...]News Medical (Austrália) -
