Recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology have expanded our ability to develop multifunctional nanostructures that combine therapeutic and diagnostic functions into a single nanostructured complex. These materials, called "teranostics", have been interesting for many applications, especially in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, including cancer. The versatility of the…
The present proposal establishes the continuity and expansion of the activities of the National Institute of Science and Technology in Stem Cells and Cell Therapy, one of the National Institutes of Science and Technology created by CNPq/FAPESP in 2008. In that opportunity, we proposed the development of an extensive program of basic and clinical research to understand, isolate, culture an…
Lignocellulosic biomass, such as sugarcane bagasse, holds a promise of environmentally friendly bioenergy production in Brazil. However, enzymatic hydrolysis, currently considered a method of choice in biomass saccharification, is hampered by considerable cell-wall recalcitrance. To make this technology sustainable and cost effective, our comprehension of cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis sh…

Pancreatic Cancer occupies the fourth position in deaths caused by malignant neoplastic diseases and exhibits high metastasis progression rates to organs including the liver. Such facts are related to reserved prognosis for patients affected by this disease, leading to a medium survival periods of only 6 months. In modern nanomedicine, theranostic nanocarriers are in the front-line search…
The most serious cases of COVID-19 are manifested by a state of pulmonary hyperinflammation caused by a cytokine storm, which occurs due to the infection of the lower airways by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Under these conditions, diffuse alveolar damage leads to severe acute respiratory disease (SARS), with a high mortality rate. Mucus-modulating nanoparticles are potentially useful in the pulm…
Most cancer drugs are water-insoluble, untargeted, and have high side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, the development of carrier systems based on biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) for the intracellular delivery of bioactive drugs has attracted attention in modern nanomedicine. Nanocarriers composed of calcium phosphates (CaPs) stand out due to their unique properties, suc…
Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death among infectious diseases according to the World Health Organization and represents a major problem for public health. Around 1.4 million people died from tuberculosis in the world in 2019, and in Brazil, there are about 4,400 to 4,600 cases per year since 2010. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis is essential for the most efficient treatment. , avoi…
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are biomaterials with high biocompatibility, are considered ideal for the treatment of bones and teeth and in tissue engineering. In the form of nanoparticles (NPs), CaPs have been attracting attention in nanomedicine, highlighting the use of hydroxyapatite (HA) in diagnostic medicine via fluorescence imaging - a low-cost, non-invasive diagnostic option. The know…

According to the World Health Organization, one of the most deadly diseases in the world iscancer. With over 100 types of cancer detected, this disease is constantly changing, making it difficult to choose of treatment. Some types of cancer are silent, and when diagnosed late they are in malignant progression and metastasis. Tumors in the advanced stage are highly vascularized, but unbala…
Alzheimer's disease is a devastating condition common among elderly people characterized by a progressive and slow brain decay that may take decades to complete. This disease currently affects over 36 million people and, due to population aging, projections indicate that in 25 years this number will triple - resulting in very high cost to health systems. Although the causes for the develo…
The development of nanoscience, nanotechnology and nanomedicine promoted a new frontier on study of nanomaterials, allowing them to be used in cellular and molecular level. Some nanomaterials are showing a high relevance, such as graphene oxide, which is endowed of mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, making them appropriate for biomedical device development and application. Man…
