Maturation of the glymphatic system confers innate resistance of the brain to Zika virus infection
The maturation of the glymphatic system initiates fluid dynamics in the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we demonstrate that the initiating glymphatic function results in a steep reduction in the s...

Preprint alert! Why third trimesters fetuses and newborns less likely develop CNS malformations caused by Zika virus? Here, we test the hypothesis the onset of fluid dynamics diminishes susceptibility to the virus.This is the first PhD thesis in the lab! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

On my way to @neurochemistry.org meeting in NY. Come to watch our symposimum on MIA and brain development this Tuesday. I have also a poster on the influence of Zika virus infection on the glymphatic system development.

Psicodélicos e zika: potiguares elevam Brasil a polo global de neurociência
Pacientes com depressão geralmente vêem a medicação surtir efeito após ao menos duas semanas de uso. No Rio Grande do Norte, pesquisadores conseguiram cortar esse tempo para alguns dias. Em vez de rec...
