- Redoxome - Redox Processes in Biomedicine, AP.CEPID
Abstract
The study of redox processes has high potential to elucidate integrative mechanisms, due to the ubiquity and strength of their effects. Many studies involve the role of redox mechanisms in diseases. However, the complexity of this field has increased concerning structures, structure-function relations, methods, molecular and sub-cellular pathology of redox-regulated proteins, genomics, pr…
- Development of a versatile 3D scanning unit for automated combined time-resolved detection of various characteristic emissions in the Vis-NIR, AV.EXT
Abstract
Singlet oxygen 1Deltag (1O2) is the first excited state of molecular oxygen with 94.3 kJ/mol in excess to its ground triplet state, and with a chemical reactivity completely different from that of molecular oxygen, as it can attack chemical bonds by two electron oxidations. 1O2 plays important roles in materials science, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, being primarily responsibl…

- Inactivation (PDI) of mosquito larvae, AV.EXT
Abstract
Globalization and climate change enhances the transmission of life-threatening diseases through mosquitoes from the genre Aedes and Anopheles. The problem is increasing steadily both in America and Europe. The usage of chemical means for the control of mosquitoes and larvae leads to increased resistance to common insecticides. Furthermore, insecticides are a source of side effects and hea…

- Influence of red light on melanocytes, BP.IC
Abstract
Solar energy encompasses photons with different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, which correspond to ultraviolet rays, totaling around 2% of solar radiation, visible and infrared light, which correspond to the remaining 98%. The wavelength spectrum of visible light is between 400 nanometers (nm) and 750 nm. Recent studies indicate that this light is capable of affecting melano…
- Impact of melanin on the response of melanocytes to blue light, BP.IC
Abstract
Sunlight covers a wide range of electromagnetic waves in its spectrum, which includes the ultraviolet (UV-C, UV-B, UV-A), visible and infrared regions. UVA and UVB waves are well known for their effects on the skin, causing different damages, however, visible light, especially blue light, stands out due to its influence that is still poorly understood. Melanin, a product of synthesis in m…

Abstract
Sun exposure can cause several types of damage in the skin. Among the strategies for skin protection, blocking of sun radiation, UVA and UVB, stands out. However, UV radiation represents only 2% of the total irradiance of the sun, with the remaining 98% being visible and infrared radiation. The melanocytes, which are cells present in the stratum basale, are responsible for the production …

- Bodipy probes to study photoinduced oxidations in model membranes, organelles, and cells, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Sterols, referred to as the third lipid class, bear the essential triterpenoid scaffold, that ensure fluidity and flexibility to cell membranes, and serve as signaling important molecules crucial in growth, development and differentiation of organisms. The 7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) is a biosynthetic precursor of cholesterol and vitamin D3, and ergosterol. Similar to the polyunsaturated…

The project submitted here entitled "Ruthenium(II) complexes containing quinone based ligands to improve membrane damage and cause PDT response" is part of the postdoctoral project (2019/03195-3) and is related to a collaboration Project between Professor Mauricio da Silva Baptista (Universidade de São Paulo - Brazil) and Professor Claudia Turro (The Ohio State University). The strategy i…
- Study of photosensitized radical-mediated lipid oxidation by the use of a BODIPY-a-tocopherol off/on fluorescent probe in model membranes, BE.EP.DD
Abstract
Radical-mediated oxidations are expected to play an important role on photosensitized oxidations occuring in photodynamic therapy and cutaneous photoaging. Given the role of lipid photo-oxidation in these photobiological processes, in this project we aim to study the formation of lipid peroxyl radicals in model membranes, by using of BODIPY-a-tocopherol off/on fluorescent probes. These pr…
