Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide and ranks among the leading causes of death. Identifying new agents for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer is highly desirable. For many centuries, metals have been used empirically to treat various diseases. Nowadays, metals and their compounds - stable or radioactive - are rationally applied in both the diagnosis and tre…
The best known diseases related to peptide aggregation are Alzheimer's, Type II Diabetes, Prion-related Encephalopathies, Huntington´s and Parkinson's, all referred by the general term amyloidosis which is characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils in specific tissues, these aggregates being the causative agents of several types of degeneration. This project aims at studying the m…
Due to the significant biological importance of peptides, such as their involvement in physiological responses and their substantial potential for disease treatment, numerous studies have been conducted employing these molecules, including tumorigenic diseases. The great potential of peptides is attributed to several characteristics, including non-immunogenicity and minimal side effects, …
Breast cancer has been considered a public health problem because it is the second most common type of tumor in women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), currently more than 14 million people develop breast cancer each year, and this number is expected to increase to more than 21 million by 2030. In the last decade, radiolabeled peptides are being used both in therapy and i…
Although extremely important, the problem of insolubility of peptides and proteins is still far from being fully understood. A high tendency to unite into insoluble aggregates is a serious limitation to the production and use of many peptides and proteins on a broad spectrum of biological and pharmaceutical applications. In physiological terms, the best known cases of pathologies related …
