A study conducted by researchers from the D'Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) and the Rede D'Or Pathological Anatomy in conjunction with several North American institutions, including the National Cancer Institute (NIH), used new molecular analyses to unravel the biological mechanisms of pediatric brain tumors and refine their classification. The research results were recently published in the journal Acta Neuropathologica Communications.A study conducted by researchers from the D'Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) and the Rede D'Or Pathological Anatomy in conjunction with several North American institutions, including the National Cancer Institute (NIH), used new molecular analyses to unravel the biological mechanisms of pediatric brain tumors and refine their classification.

An article on the study describes the preparation of films comprising polyaniline nanostructures with an underlayer of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and assesses their performance in photoelectrocatalysis, especially to obtain hydrogen.

In an article published in Nature Metabolism, researchers based in Brazil and Mexico analyze the Latin American obesity epidemic from a broad perspective that includes socioeconomic, cultural and epigenetic factors. For the authors, solutions must focus on collective action rather than individualization of the problem.

Researchers at a FAPESP-supported research center showed that the addition of bromine to extracellular matrix proteins is a physiological modification dependent on the enzyme peroxidasin – the study extends knowledge of the scope of this enzyme’s activity in the mammalian organism.

In a study with 49 participants, researchers at the State University of Campinas found that daily consumption of a dietary supplement containing 15 g of the substance for five weeks improved glucose metabolism even after meals.

A study conducted at the University of São Paulo with 23 volunteers found that only evening training regulated baroreflex sensitivity, a mechanism that compensates for abrupt changes in blood pressure.

In an experiment resulting from collaboration between two FAPESP-supported research centers, a material was modified for use in solar-driven water splitting to produce hydrogen.
