Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a modality of regulated cell death that is sufficient to promote an adaptive immune response against antigens of the dying cell in an immunocompetent host. An important characteristic of ICD is the release and exposure of damage-associated molecular patterns, which are potent endogenous immune adjuvants. As the induction of ICD can be achieved with conventional cytotoxic agents, ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-02-01; Aim: To develop a new curcumin carrier consisting of murumuru butter nanoparticles (SLN-Cs). Methods: A phase-inversion temperature method was used to produce SLN-Cs. The interaction of SLN-Cs with murine colon adenocarcinoma (CT26) cells in vitro was analyzed by confocal microscopy. Results: Stable SLN...
To improve the oral absorption of fish oil and test its anti-inflammatory effect, a fish oil nanoemulsion was developed using cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic fatty acid as a biomarker for oral administration. The colloidal stability tests of the fish oil nanoemulsion showed an average size of 155.44 nm ± 6.46 (4 °C); 163.04 nm ± 9.97 (25 °C) and polydispersity index 0.22 ± 0.02 (4 °C), 0.21 ± 0.02 (25 °C), ...
Tese (Doutorado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde, 2011.; A terapia fotodinâmica tem se apresentado como uma alternativa segura e altamente eficaz ao tratamento de diversos tipos de câncer. A sua alta eficácia decorre da indução direta de morte das células neoplásicas, da destruição da microvasculatura tumoral e do reforço da imunidade antitumoral. Todos estes efeitos derivam do estresse...

Photodynamic therapy is a well-established and clinically approved treatment for several types of cancer. Antineoplastic photodynamic therapy is based on photosensitizers, i.e., drugs that absorb photons translating light energy into a chemical potential that damages tumor tissues. Despite the encouraging clinical results with the approved photosensitizers available today, the prolonged skin phototoxicity, poor...
Background: Selol is an oily mixture of selenitetriacylglycerides that was obtained as a semi-synthetic compound containing selenite. Selol is effective against cancerous cells and less toxic to normal cells compared with inorganic forms of selenite. However, Selol’s hydrophobicity hinders its administration in vivo. Therefore, the present study aimed to produce a formulation of Selol nanocapsules (SPN) and to ...
