"Brazil is seeing an unprecedented surge in dengue, a viral disease that can cause excruciating pains and is sometimes fatal. Its spread is fueled by a hot rainy season and Brazil’s rapid, unplanned urbanization. Health officials have reported more than 1 million suspected cases in January and February, four times as many as in the same period in 2023, and hundreds have died. But the country has far too little vaccine to protect its population."

"Paula Coutinho (1941-2022) foi uma mulher que quebrou barreiras, considerada vanguardista na neurologia, num mundo, à época, predominantemente masculino. A sua principal referência e mentor foi Corino Andrade, neurologista que descobriu a paramiloidose em famílias das Caxinas, e de quem foi herdeira científica. “‘pescada’ nas aulas práticas de Neurologia e levada para o serviço do Dr. Corino de Andrade”, no Hospital de Santo António (HSA), no Porto, em 1965, quando ainda frequentava a Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto. Foi a primeira neurologista a desenvolver o “pensamento genético” na doença neurológica, o que faz dela, de facto, a pioneira da neurogenética em Portugal."

"Under Burrows’s ultraviolet lamps, pistil and stamen, stigma and anther glow with the colors of a distant planet or some bioluminescent creature of the deep seas, at once alien and familiar."

"The sample of DOIs included in the study was made up of a random selection of up to 1,000 registered to each member organization. Twenty-eight percent of these works — more than two million articles — did not appear in a major digital archive, despite having an active DOI. Only 58% of the DOIs referenced works that had been stored in at least one archive. The other 14% were excluded from the study because they were published too recently, were not journal articles or did not have an identifiable source."

'Here, we show that p21 promoter-dependent expression of mTert prevents emphysema in aged mice, and this coincides with maintenance of microvascular density, decreased senescence of endothelial cells, and preservation of a pool of endothelial CD34+ cells endowed with proliferative capacities'

'The Pompidou Center in Paris, which owns one of the most extensive collections of French Surrealist art in the world, has organized the largest of the shows: a traveling exhibition that opened in Brussels on Feb. 21 and moves to Paris on Sept. 4. The show then goes to Hamburg and Madrid, and wraps up at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2026.'

"I want to see the worm weep and mope around because he can never be a proper husband to the woman he fell in love with 10 seconds ago. I want to see a gender-swapped version of the question, “Would you still love me if I were a worm?” tackled on the big screen once and for all."

'An explosive rise in dengue cases in Brazil has health authorities on edge. In the first two months of 2024, the country registered more than one million cases of the mosquito-borne disease. That’s a record for this period — and Brazil’s dengue cases normally peak between March and May'

'No dia 16 de Maio, levaram-na à sala da tortura, no Reduto Sul, controlado pela polícia política. “Tens duas vias: a do sacrifício e a da colaboração”, disse-lhe o inspector. “O resultado será o mesmo. Por aquela porta não sais sem falar.”'

'By the late 1980s, EDRF was identified as NO by Ignarro (8) and independently by Moncada (9), and its vasorelaxing properties were found by Murad to be a consequence of guanylyl cyclase activation (10) via binding to the enzyme’s prosthetic heme group.'
