The global hyaluronic acid (HA) sales market reached 8.5 billion dollars in 2020, with an expected annual growth of 7.19% until 2028. HA is considered a high value-added product, featuring advanced technology , serving for the most diverse applications, including segments of ophthalmology, orthopedics, periodontics and especially in aesthetic procedures, being widely used as a dermal fill…
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with early detection and appropriate therapy being the best alternatives to reduce the risk of mortality. Despite the recent advances in investigating biomarkers for early cancer detection, diagnosis strategies still lack improvements in the selectivity for the capture of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and the detection method's sensi…
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with early detection and appropriate therapy being the best alternatives to reduce the risk of mortality.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a silent neoplasm and if diagnosed in its early stages, has high chances of cure. Thus, it is necessary to search for rapid detection methods and new prognostic markers for PCa. In this context, the development of techniques that allow the control of cell adhesion on the surface of substrates is a determining factor for the construction of biomaterials applicable …
Nature provides great inspiration for science, having developed lightweight materials for flight, low drag surfaces, and strong fibers that altogether impress and inspire us. Many of these structures rely on proteins, macromolecules that fold and hierarchically assemble into exquisite structures, suitable for uses in medicine, security, energy, and sustainability. Molecular biology allows…
Cancer is the second leading cause of death, only behind heart disease. In response to some cancers, lymphocytes can migrate to the tumor site for therapeutic effect. Previous work has demonstrated that these immune cells can be used as drug carriers through the attachment of 7-10 µm diameter polymer patches. These cellular backpacks have the ability to encapsulate and to release drugs wh…

Cancer is responsible for the second highest number of deaths in the world. In this scenario, late diagnosis is the main reason for the high mortality rates. Detection methods for the early diagnosis of oncological diseases by capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been investigated. Electrochemical biosensors have been used as accurate, fast-response and low-cost transduction plat…
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and early detection, associated with an appropriate therapeutic regimen, is the best option to substantially reduce the risk of mortality. Despite advances in the study of biomarkers for diagnosis, strategies for their detection still require improvements both in the selectivity of capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and in the s…

Prostatic cancer (CaP) is the sixth leading cause of death by cancer among men. The development of faster methods for the detection of CaP prognostic markers is necessary. Recent studies conducted by the Laboratory of Engineering and Chemistry of Products (LEQUIP) investigate the interaction between hyaluronic acid molecules and CD44 receptors, over-expressed in some types of tumor cells,…
The majority of the chemotherapeutic drugs currently employed do not act exclusively into the target areas, which results in a series undesired effects to the patients. This scenario requires the design of strategies to overcome these drawbacks. The MIT research group lead by Prof. Michael F. Rubner and Prof. Robert E. Cohen has been developing through the layer-by-layer technique a new d…
The recovery of chronic wounds, that present complications and require high time for healing, is still a challenge to medicine because usually is an expensive process and in some cases result in amputation of the injured limb. The development of dressings which combine all requirements, such as maintenance of the wound surface moist as well as removal of excess exudate and protection of s…

Recent advances in molecular biology materials have enabled scientists to design, synthesize and conjugate various peptide sequences that encapsulate the functional characteristics of their natural protein systems. Despite their remarkable advantages in biocompatibility, biodegradability, therapeutic response, and low polydispersity (~1.0) over the traditional synthetic polymers, to our k…
