Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: A study detected in tumoral tissue hundreds of RNAs that do not encode proteins but appear to regulate effects of androgens and androgen receptors on gene expression in tumors. By investigating the connection between the presence of these molecules and tumor aggressiveness, the research paves the way for new scientific approaches focusing on the transcription process of noncoding RNA. Share: FULL STORY In most cases of [...]

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: Researchers carried out studies in animal model that mimics condition in children and adolescents considered at risk for development of the disease in adulthood. Young and hypertense rats displaying cognitive and social impairments as well as hyperlocomotion have reached a healthy adulthood after being treated with daily doses of sodium nitroprusside doses for 30 days. Share: FULL STORY Researchers at the Federal University [...]

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: A pioneering research project has identified genes potentially associated with functions such as growth and weight gain in the Nelore breed. These functions are key to beef production. The researchers pinpointed genomic regions that had changed owing to selection, referring to these as genomic signatures of selection. Share: FULL STORY A pioneering research project has identified genes potentially associated with functions [...]

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: Results suggest the effect is associated with activation of the enzyme ALDH2, which helps rid the organism of an aldehyde which is a toxic byproduct of alcohol digestion as much as it is a byproduct of heart cells submitted to stress. Share: FULL STORY For at least 20 years, research has shown that for many people, moderate consumption of alcohol can protect the heart, but the reason for this is poorly [...]

Method created in Brazil combines mass spectrometry analysis of blood serum with an algorithm that recognizes patterns associated with viral diseases as well as diseases of bacterial, fungal and even genetic origin. Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: Method created in Brazil combines mass spectrometry analysis of blood serum with an algorithm that recognizes patterns associated with diseases from various origins. Adoption of machine learning technique allows [...]

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: Brasilestes stardusti lived around 70 million years ago and was named after Ziggy Stardust, the singer's iconic persona. Description was based on a fossilized tooth. It's the 1st indication that placental mammals and dinosaurs co-existed in South America. For scientists, fossil features showed similarities with another pre-historic mammal found in India, suggesting both shared a common ancestral native from the Gondwana [...]

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: Inspired by tokamaks, researchers create via computer simulation an alternative for better control, in accelerators, of the particles' chaotic trajectories.

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: By testing an agrochemical designed to increase resistance on the mulberry plants used to feed silkworms, a research verified a rise in caterpillars' mortality and reduction in the size of cocoons. Intensive use of pesticides in monoculture systems may be the cause of silkworm crop losses in Brazil. Share: FULL STORY One of the problems caused by the intensive use of pesticides is their effect on organisms other than those [...]

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo Summary: Colonies of sun coral multiply rapidly, driving native corals out. Scientists investigate whether the rising of oceanic temperature, combined with increasing activity of the oil and gas industry, might be favoring the invasive species. Share: FULL STORY Detected for the first time in Brazil on the coast of the Southeast region in the late 1980s, when oil and gas prospecting began in the Campos Basin offshore of Rio de [...]
