More information about gun safety has increasingly led parents to ask about firearms in the homes their kids visit, according to a new national study. The research will be presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) 2025 Meeting, held April 24-28 in Honolulu.  

Despite the official end of the pandemic, covid-19 remains a significant health concern. In Brazil alone, the virus claimed around 6,000 lives in 2024, emphasizing the need for continued vaccination efforts.

Recognizing that covid-19 affects multiple organs and that much remains unknown about the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2, a Brazilian study published in Scientific Reports (Nature) aimed to map the virus’s impact on human tissues. Researchers from Unicamp, the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), and other national institutions analyzed infection-induced changes at the protein level, creating a freely accessible digital atlas detailing affected proteins across nine distinct cell types.
