When not properly treated, peripheral nerve injuries result in loss of functionality, movement, and quality of life for patients. Currently, the gold standard for treating these injuries is the use of autologous nerve grafts, aiming for tissue compatibility. However, this method presents disadvantages, such as donor tissue morbidity and a functional recovery rate of only 50%. Therefore, t…
Bone cancer is a type of neoplasm in the bone tissue, and is associated with unbalanced bone tissue homeostasis, as well as it can be a result of a metastasis. In general, the tumor growth leads to side effects like pain and decrease in patient's life quality. This proposal aims the development of a multifunctional material that allies hyperthermia, brachytherapy and use of zoledronic aci…

The advance of life expectation as a consequence from medical progress comes along with an increasing number of bone fractures, which turns interesting the improvement of the biomaterials, especially the bioactive glasses. Such materials act through internal and external stimuli and participate on the regeneration of the damaged bone tissue; they also interact with the body fluid, inducin…
The search for new biomaterials for a better quality of life is recurrent, being very relevant nowadays the study of biomaterials with specific use to control and cure of malignant neoplasms through brachytherapy. Especially for bone cancer's treatment, the bioactive glass gains visibility as bioactive ceramics of high biocompatibility that favors the bond with the adjacent tissues. Aimin…
This project aims at the synthesis and structural characterization of biocompatible glasses, before and after heat treatment at different temperatures in order to obtain glass ceramics based on SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 system doped with Fe2O3 and Gd2O3. The incorporation of dopants aims at obtaining crystals with magnetic properties. The temperature of nucleation of nucleated crystals will be i…
