Two equipment are being requested. A microtome and a confocal fluorescence microscope. In general, both equipments will be used to evaluate the efficiency of new drugs, the bioactivity and biocompatibility of biomaterials and the toxic impact of nanomaterials applied to health. (AU)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that results in dysfunctional regulation of blood glucose level and a multifactorial risk of other health problems, such as cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and an important risk factor for chronic kidney disease. The constant increase in cases of diabetes mellitus 2 has encouraged innovative research on new drugs and treatment methods.…
The conjugation of a photosensitizer (PS) to a nanoparticle (NP) creates the well-known photosensitizing nanoparticles which have been widely explored for application in Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). In comparison with the application of a PS in solution, the use of photosensitizing NPs provides improved tumor targeting and circulation time. Also, photosensitizing NPs can enhance therapeuti…
The development of new polymer materials from renewable sources and less aggressive to the environment has received much attention in recent years, especially the adhesives in aqueous medium that have specific properties of application, lower cost of raw material and less environmental impact. For this purpose, studies demonstrate that the emulsion and miniemulsion polymerization techniqu…
Despite the continuous development of Photodynamic Therapy of cancer, the consolidation of this therapy in clinical application is hold back due to the unsatisfactory tumor targeting and short circulation time of photosensitizers (FS). The coupling of FS to nanoparticles (NPs) has emerged as a useful tool to overcome these limitations. The NPs have enhanced penetration and retention in tu…

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic dysfunction related to cell glucose intake, categorized in two types: Type 2 DM, where the body develops insulin resistance, and Type 1 DM, an autoimmune disease where the body ceases to produce insulin, treated with multiple daily insulin injections. Type 2 DM can be treated and controlled, with significant reduction in symptoms and possible remiss…
Photodynamic therapy has been proved to be a very efficient alternative therapy for the treatment of Cancer and infections, mainly due to its low incidence of damage to non-tumoral cells. Photodynamic therapy depends on three components to occur: light, oxygen and a photosensitizing molecule. This is because the light excites the photosensitizer, promoting its energy transfer to oxygen, c…
The present project aims to develop a technique capable of detecting growth factors expressed by bone cells quickly and accurately. This evaluation is of great importance in the process of developing biomaterials for use in bone regeneration. The market for developing biomaterials for use in bone restructuring is still expanding, with the main purpose of producing devices with high abilit…
This project aims at the sensibility enhancement of surface plasmon resonance with imaging (SPRi) in the detection of proteins in a multicomponent solution. The proposed method is based on the application of bimetallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) of platinum and gold (AuPtNPs) or gold and silver (AuAgNPs) previously functionalized with antibodies. The proteins to be detected by the SPRi techniq…
Nanodiamonds (NDs) are carbon-based materials which are amongst the promising new materials for biomedical applications. Due to their high colloidal stability in aqueous media and biocompatibility, NDs can be used as a drug carrier, bio imaging agents or implant coatings. Their application has also been extended to electronics and optical materials since NDs have high thermal conductivity…

The hematogenic infection is one of the main adverse processes in the use of medical implants. In this way, techniques for designing the surface of implants with regards to adjust biocompatibility have been extensively investigated, mainly aiming to avoid bacterial adhesion and proliferation. Considering that the bacteria adhesion depends on the topography and the physical and chemical ch…
Ovarian cancer is currently the most lethal gynecological cancer worldwide. This cancer usually has no symptoms leading to late diagnosis and poor survival of patients (overall fiveyear survival less than 40 %). In Brazil, ovarian cancer is the 8th most commonly diagnosed malignancy. In this way, it is essential to search for methods able to identify the disease at the early stages. Today…
ABSTRACTNanoparticles (NPs) have been increasingly used and researched in the fields of materials and health. One of the main fields of interest is nanomedicine. In this field approximately two thirds of the research is directed to the use of NPs in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. Although the characteristics of NPs, such as size and zeta potential, are carefully planned in the dev…
