Do Mito à "Jornada do Herói"
Oliveira, Cristiana; Tavares, JoanaAs histórias e os mitos são considerados ferramentas na transformação do Homem (Willans, J. 2012) e por isso é importante entender qual o papel e lugar que ocupam dentro da narrativa humana. Neste sentido, o que pretendemos com esta comunicação é revelar de que forma é que então as histórias, os mitos, mas sobretudo a estrutura épica apelidada por “Jornada do Herói”, podem ser consideradas ferramentas transform...
Microneedles’ device: design, fabrication, and applications
Oliveira, Cristiana; Teixeira, J. A.; Oliveira, Nelson; Ferreira, Sónia; Botelho, C. M.The delivery of therapeutical molecules through the skin, particularly to its deeper layers, is impaired due to the stratum corneum layer, which acts as a barrier to foreign substances. Thus, for the past years, scientists have focused on the development of more efficient methods to deliver molecules to skin distinct layers. Microneedles, as a new class of biomedical devices, consist of an array of microscale n...
