Abstract
People who have been exposed to childhood trauma are at an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) in adulthood. The development of these diseases is closely related to lifestyle, with certain 'health risk behaviors' playing a significant role in their onset, such as smoking, an inadequate diet, insufficient sleep, and lack of exercise. The mechanisms by which childhoo…

Mitochondria are the main source of energy within cells. They are made from over ~1100 proteins which are coded by two different genomes: nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). MtDNA is only inherited from our mother, and codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins that are essential for cell energy production. In humans, mtDNA varies considerably between different people (called mtDNA single…

In recent years, and in spite of financial hurdles, Brazil and the UK have committed to decarbonise their economies and embrace a NetZero economy. The UK government published its Net Zero strategy in 2021, where the roadmap for the technological transition to decarbonise the UK economy is laid out. In a similar way, Brazil has committed to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with a m…

Abstract
Net zero carbon emission technologies worldwide include carbon capture and storage (CCS). Safe geological storage is essential to enable the energy transition. NERC-FAPESP EHMPRES will stablish a new collaboration between world-leading experts in CO2 storage reservoir characterization from the NOC and the IEE-RCGI/USP. This international collaboration will develop novel capabilities in un…

Abstract
GreenCities is a new multidisciplinary partnership between the UK and Brazil. The collaboration focuses on key knowledge gaps in our understanding of how urban greenspace provides cooling in humid tropical regions. It builds on world-leading Brazilian expertise in urban eddy covariance monitoring and UK expertise in ecosystem services modelling and citizen science engagement. This partner…

Abstract
PhenoChange will launch a trans-continental network to monitor plant phenology across the dry tropics. Currently, controls on the timing of leaf display and the associated fluxes of energy and matter are a major uncertainty in earth system modelling, particularly for the dry tropics, limiting projections of vegetation responses to climate change. Tropical dry biomes, which cover 18% of gl…

Mitochondria are the principal source of cellular energy which is produced by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) leading to the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Thirteen essential OXPHOS proteins are synthesised within the mitochondrion from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which is exclusively inherited down the maternal line. MtDNA is highly polymorphic in humans, but the single nuc…

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has raised concerns regarding the use and development of screening and diagnostic models that are low-cost, highly sensitive, and widely applicable. The widespread dissemination of this virus makes it difficult to control, making mass testing of individuals an efficient measure for screening and controlling its spread. However, the high cost of tests, coupled with th…
