Antibacterial and healing effect of chicha gum hydrogel (sterculia striata) wit...
Lima, Idglan Sá de; Ferreira, Maria Onaira Gonçalves; Barros, Esmeralda Maria Lustosa; Rizzo, Marcia dos Santos; Santos, Jailson de AraújoChicha gum is a natural polymer obtained from the Sterculia striata plant. The hydroxyl groups of its structure have a chemical affinity to form hydrogels, which favors the association with biologically active molecules, such as nerolidol. This association improves the biological properties and allows the material to be used in drug delivery systems. Chicha gum hydrogels associated with nerolidol were produced ...
Biopolymeric materials used as nonviral vectors: a review
Santos, Jailson de Araújo; Liarte, Daniel Barbosa; Ribeiro, Alessandra Braga; Rizzo, Marcia dos Santos; Costa, Marcília Pinheiro da; Osajima, Josy A.Bacterial transformation and gene transfection can be understood as being the results of introducing specific genetic material into cells, resulting in gene expression, and adding a new genetic trait to the host cell. Many studies have been carried out to investigate different types of lipids and cationic polymers as promising nonviral vectors for DNA transfer. The present study aimed to carry out a systematic ...
Genetic diversity and population structure of mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa) e...
Luz, Gizele de Andrade; Santos, Jailson de Araújo; Oliveira, Kelly Pires de; Martins, Pâmela Ponce; Valente, Sérgio Emílio dos Santos The mangabeira is a native fruit tree from Brazil with fruits that present significant potential for exploitation. This species is experiencing genetic erosion, which increases the importance of elucidating the genetic diversity that exists in mangabeira populations to support conservation programs. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the diversity and genetic structure of mangabeira populations from the G...
