Husker study: Brazil can grow more soybeans without deforesting Amazon
Publicado em 10 de outubro de 2022
Brazil presents a key example. The country is home to the world’s largest area of rainforest — some 1.2 million square miles, an area more than 16 times the size of Nebraska. The Amazon contains large tracts of rainforests that, when converted to agriculture, release a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change.
Increasing agricultural production is a national priority for Brazil, the world’s largest soybean exporter. Since the 1990s, [...]

Study finds How Different Smells Influence Visual Perception Of Emotions
Publicado em 13 agosto 2022The group solicited responses to a fastidiously graded spectrum of feelings beginning with robust facial expressions categorised as 100 per cent depth and morphing by 10 per cent increments from excessive pleasure or unhappiness, for instance, to impartial. Each participant was requested to say whether or not the face expressed happiness, unhappiness, anger, disgust or worry. “We arrived at the lowest intensity of expression needed for a person to start judging correctly the emotion it [...]ver notícia -
Study Says Novel Coronavirus Manipulates Cells to Replicate
Publicado em 19 julho 2022An article published in the journal ‘Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology’ describes a study conducted by researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the University of So Paulo (USP) in Brazil that demonstrates how a human protein interacts with a SARS -CoV-2 protein, as well as one of the ways the virus that causes COVID-19 recruits cells to replicate. In laboratory tests, the researchers used a drug to inhibit the interaction between the molecules, [...]ver notícia -
Gene Therapy Reverses Effects of Autism-Linked Mutation in Brain Organoids
Publicado em 04 maio 2022In a study published May 02, 2022 in Nature Communications, scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine used human brain organoids to reveal how a genetic mutation associated with a profound form of autism disrupts neural development. Using gene therapy tools to recover the gene’s function effectively rescued neural structure and function. Several neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia have [...]ver notícia -
Twisted vibrations enable quality control for chiral drugs and supplements: Terahertz light creates twisting vibrations in biomolecules such as proteins, confirming whether their compositions and structures are safe and effective.
Publicado emThe researchers hope that the technique could also help diagnose harmful accumulations of twisted molecules in the body, including bladder stones, insulin fibrils and amyloid aggregations such as the plaques that appear in Alzheimer’s disease. In a world of curled molecules, biology often favors right- or left-handed versions. Walking along the supplement aisle, you might notice that some have an L or D in front of the names. L and D denote the direction in which the molecule twists, [...]ver notícia -
Coronavirus can transform pancreas cell function; certain genes may protect an infected person’s spouse
Publicado em 30 setembro 2021(Reuters) – The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that have yet to be certified by peer review. Coronavirus transforms pancreas cell function When the coronavirus infects cells, it not only impairs their activity but can also change their function, new findings suggest. For example, when insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas become infected with the virus, they not only [...]ver notícia
