Research monitoring waste levels of the Glyphosate Herbicide
Used in agriculture, glyphosate is an herbicide capable of controlling a wide range of weeds. However, its use can lead to the occurrence of residues, whether in conventional or genetically modified crops. Researchers analyzed samples of soybeans and corn and cotton seeds, in commercial areas in the harvests of 2012/2013 to 2017/2018, in different Brazilian agricultural regions in order to monitor the levels of residues of glyphosate and its metabolite, after different managements. The results showed undetected or minimal residue rates, confirming that the safety profiles determined by Brazilian regulatory agencies are followed. … Read More →

Study shows clinical value of TGFB1 and its receptors (TGFBR1 and TGFBR2) in thyroid nodules
This trial showed that SNPs rs1800472 and rs1800469 were associated with characteristics of PTC aggressiveness. TGFB1 mRNA expression was upregulated in PTC and downregulated in benign samples. TGFBR1 mRNA expression was upregulated in goiter and PTC, but downregulated in FA. On the other hand, TGFBR2 was downregulated in all histological types analyzed. … Read More →
