- Profile of microRNAs from the C19MC and C14MC family involved in the regulation of antiviral and inflammatory response in placentas in Chikungunya and Oropouche infection, AP.R
Abstract
Viral infection during pregnancy can pose risks such as vertical transmission and serious consequences for the fetus. Prenatal infection with arboviruses such as chikungunya (CHIKV) can have serious consequences with neurological damage to the fetus. Oropouche virus (OROV), an emerging arbovirus, causes oropouche fever and recent reports in 2024 have identified cases of fetal death and se…
- RNAs CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS FOR DIFFERENT BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, AP.PIPE
Abstract
The chemical synthesis of RNA is of great importance for several areas of science and technology, especially in biotechnology, pharmacology and biomedical research. It allows the precise production of RNA molecules with specific sequences, facilitating the study of biological functions of RNA, including gene regulation and protein translation. Furthermore, chemical synthesis has been esse…
- Integrated analysis of the pathogenicity of Brazilian endemic Alphavirus and Orthoflavivirus in skeletal and cardiac muscle involvement, AP.R
Abstract
Arboviruses comprise a group of viruses transmitted by arthropods, primarily characterized by viruses with RNA genomes. In tropical and subtropical regions, these viruses are responsible for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases that constitute a major Public Health problem with economic and social impacts. Among the main viral agents responsible for epidemics, viruses from the Fla…

- Optimization of male-biased releases of Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes for the prevention of Aedes-borne diseases, AV.EXT
Abstract
This project aims to develop and optimize mathematical models for male-biased releases of Wolbachia-carrying Aedes mosquitoes to control dengue and other arboviral diseases. Wolbachia, a symbiotic bacterium, is known to inhibit virus transmission in mosquitoes, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical vector control methods. The project focuses on designing dynamic optimization fram…

- The climatic impact of drought and heat waves and the perception of thermal comfort in Brazil., BP.PD
Abstract
The main goal of this project is to create extreme risk maps of the combined effect of drought-heat integrated with human perception of these events. The aim of this project is to monitor the confluence of these extremes, as it achieves extreme values synchronized, on a risk map designed in multiscale which covers Brazilian states, biomes and cities. Human perception will be incorporated …
- Supervised geoprocessing and classification of satellite images acquired via Google Earth Engine, BP.IC
Abstract
Google Earth Engine is a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite images and geospatial data sets that allows users to quickly and easily view, manipulate, edit, and create spatial data. This study aims to use geoprocessing techniques and spatial algorithms to supervisedly classify images obtained for rural, urban, and wild areas of ten selected municipalities in the state of São Paulo. Images…
- In silico approach and molecular Validation for the design of oligonucleotides targeting Mayaro virus, BP.IC
Abstract
Mayaro arbovirus (MAYV) is an emerging pathogen of public health importance, frequently associated with outbreaks in tropical regions of South America. This virus presents symptoms similar to those of other arboviruses, such as Dengue and Chikungunya, making its clinical and epidemiological identification challenging. Accurate diagnosis of these viruses depends on the use of sensitive and…

- Technological support for the production of recombinant proteins and maintenance of insect cells in culture., BP.TT
- Identification and maintenance of vector colonies recently collected in urban, peri-urban, and wild areas of the municipality of São José do Rio Preto - SP., BP.TT
- Screening of Compounds Using Biochemical and Biophysical Techniques Applied to the Helicase Domain of the Non-Structural Protein 3 of the Zika Virus (ZIKV_NS3Hel) and the Open Access Plates of the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), BP.EVC
Abstract
Flaviviruses causing Dengue and Zika have been a major public health challenge in Brazil due to the climatic conditions favorable to the spread of their vector, Aedes aegypti. The numerous Zika virus (ZIKV) infections caused concern in the medical community due to their association with serious neurological complications: Guillain-Barré Syndrome in adults and Congenital ZIKV Syndrome in n…

- The role and mechanism of gamma delta T cells in Mayaro virus infection, BE.EP.DD
Abstract
Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a neglected arthritogenic arbovirus endemic to Latin America and the Caribbean, with a high potential to lead to future epidemics. Mayaro causes Mayaro fever, an illness with debilitating symptoms, such as fever, headache, polyarthralgia, and in some cases, neurological complications. Recent studies and our preliminary data indicated that gamma delta T cells can pla…
- Exploration of the Binding Preferences of HOP from Aedes aegypti and Homo sapiens, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Carboxylate clamp tetracopeptide repeat (CC-TPR) proteins, e.g., HSP70-HSP90 organizing protein (HOP), protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) and carboxy-terminus of HSP70 interacting protein (CHIP), are cochaperones that interact with cytosolic HSP70 and HSP90 through a conserved EEVD motif at their C-terminus. Recent research from Professor Jason Gestwicki's laboratory has identified optimized EEV…
- IN VITRO AND IN VIVO SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF A HYDROGEL-REPELLENT PROTOTYPE CONTAINING MYRCENE ASSOCIATED WITH CYCLODEXTRINS, BE.EP.MS
Abstract
Arboviruses are diseases transmitted by hematophagous arthropods, especially the Aedes genus. As neglected diseases have difficulty accessing specific treatment, the use of repellents is described as the best form of prevention. Formulations with synthetic active repellents are widespread on the market. However, they can create risks for the user, as well as damage the environment. In add…

- The role of lipid droplets in the disruption of STAT1 trafficking by SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein ORF6, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Lipid droplets are dynamic organelles mainly responsible for storing neutral lipids and as a source of lipids for membrane synthesis. Despite their importance for cellular homeostasis, new functions have been attributed to these organelles recently, such as participation in the innate immune response and the infectious process of certain pathogens. Concerning viruses, lipid droplets play …
- Study of immune innate cell migration in a zebrafish model infected with Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense (OROV) is responsible for Oropouche fever, which caused numerous outbreaks and affected more than half a million people in Latin America since its discovery in Trinidad and Tobago in 1955. OROV is classified as a member of the Orthobunyavirus genus, which comprises viruses concerning One-health issues, such as Schmallenberg, Akabane and Bunyamwera orthobunyav…
- SENSITIVE SURFACES DEVELOPMENT TO STUDY APTAMER-PROTEIN INTERACTION, BE.EP.IC
Abstract
The development of biosensors ranges from choosing a target for detection to analyzing quantities related to their efficiency.
