The model for evaluating the activity of Schistosma mansoni recombinant proteins will be the type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM2) model, one of the diseases classified as metabolic syndrome, commonly associated with obesity and sedentary lifestyle. In addition, due to the change in the action of insulin, DM2 causes severe hyperglycemia to the carrier, which in turn predisposes to pathological c…
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by blood worms of the genus Schistosoma and it is estimated that over 249 million people are affected worldwide. The limited amount of drugs used to treat the development of resistance to existing anthelmintics suggests priority in the development of new drugs. The murine model has been used extensively to study the immunopathology of the dise…

Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease endemic to tropical regions, caused by worms of the Schistosoma genus. This disease affects over 200 million people worldwide, poses a challenge to public health, and is currently experiencing geographic expansion. In Brazil, it is exclusively caused by the trematode Schistosoma mansoni, affecting areas with poor socioeconomic conditions lack…
Schistosomiasis mansoni is a parasitosis caused by the trematode Schistosoma mansoni, classified by the WHO as a Neglected Tropical Disease and is still associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Endemic in regions of Brazil that have susceptible intermediate hosts and inadequate basic sanitation, its incidence is closely linked to poverty. The aggravation of the disease is mainl…
According to the Brazilian Ministry of Health, 28,587 new cases of schistosomiasis were registered in Brazil in 2020, with an estimated total of 6 to 8 million infected individuals. The treatment for this parasitic disease has been carried out using the same anthelmintic drug, Praziquantel, since 1996, which has led to a loss of sensitivity and resistance of Schistosoma mansoni to it in s…
Liver cancer is a malignant disease characterized by it's disordinated and abnormal cellular growth, with a high capacity in becoming metastatic. Lots of researchers are in search of different types of treatments, since conventional therapies are still too debilitating for the patients. Because of this, studies are in search of new molecules that are more selective towards tumorous cells,…
Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by the intravascular parasite S. mansoni and it's extremely relevant as it has been affecting poor communities in endemic areas for centuries. Praziquantel is the only drug recommended for treating this parasitosis, however, due to some cases of ineffectiveness, it is essential to study new drugs capable of fighting it. In this context, silver tungstate…
In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the area of nanotechnology, one of the most attractive fields contributing to the emergence of innovative products in strategic areas, mainly for the development of drugs. However, considering such growth, there are few toxicological and cytotoxic studies in order to have effective regulation and to ensure the health of the populatio…

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world, and it is considered a global health issue. It is a multifactorial disease that involves genetic, environmental and lifestyle risk factors. CRC has one of the highest mutational burdens of all cancer types, and APC, TP53 and KRAS are the most recurrent mutated genes in metastasis. Even though there is a significant prog…
Schistosomiasis is a major global health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. In Brazil, there are an estimated 6 to 8 million confirmed cases of Schistosoma mansoni infection. Praziquantel (PZQ) is the only drug recommended for the treatment of this parasitosis, according to the World Health Organization, but in view of some cases of ineffectiveness, it is essential to study …
Schistosomiasis remains a persistent health challenge in Brazil, with tens of thousands of new cases annually and praziquantel currently as the primary and only treatment. However, concerns about the emergence of praziquantel-resistant parasites require the exploration of alternative therapeutic strategies. This study aims to investigate the ex vivo activity of curcumin-functionalized …
