Pluronic® F127 Hydrogel Containing Silver Nanoparticles in Skin Burn Regenerati...

Presently, skin burns are considered one of the main public health problems and lack therapeutic options. In recent years, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely studied, playing an increasingly important role in wound healing due to their antibacterial activity. This work is focused on the production and characterization of AgNPs loaded in a Pluronic® F127 hydrogel, as well as assessing its antimicrobia...

The Role of Rosmarinic Acid on the Bioproduction of Gold Nanoparticles as Part ...

Breast cancer is a high-burden malignancy for society, whose impact boosts a continuous search for novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Among the recent therapeutic approaches, photothermal therapy (PTT), which causes tumor cell death by hyperthermia after being irradiated with a light source, represents a high-potential strategy. Furthermore, the effectiveness of PTT can be improved by combining near infrar...

Inhibition-based biosensor for cyanide detection – a preliminary study

Proof-of-Concept Study of Multifunctional Hybrid Nanoparticle System Combined w...

The global impact of cancer emphasizes the importance of developing innovative, effective and minimally invasive therapies. In the context of superficial cancers, the development of a multifunctional nanoparticle-based system and its in vitro and in vivo safety and efficacy characterization are, herein, proposed as a proof-of-concept. This multifunctional system consists of gold nanoparticles coated with hyalur...

Catalytic performance of bulk and colloidal Co/Al layered double hydroxide with...

A Co/Al layered double hydroxide material was synthesized in both bulk and exfoliated (colloidal) forms. Anion exchange with methionine allowed immobilization of Au nanoparticles previously prepared by a biomimetic method using an anti-oxidant tea aqueous extract to reduce the Au salt solution. The catalytic performance of bulk and exfoliated clays Au-hybrid materials was assessed in aerobic olefin epoxidation....

Sugar-based bactericides targeting phosphatidylethanolamine-enriched membranes

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a bioterrorism agent that develops resistance to clinically used antibiotics. Therefore, alternative mechanisms of action remain a challenge. Herein, we disclose deoxy glycosides responsible for specific carbohydrate-phospholipid interactions, causing phosphatidylethanolamine lamellar-to-inverted hexagonal phase transition and acting over B. anthrac...

Bioadhesive polymeric nanoparticles as strategy to improve the treatment of yea...

Candidiasis is by far the most common fungal infection in the oral cavity and locally antifungal drugs are generally considered the first line therapy. However, some antifungal drugs like Nystatin (Nys) have very short time in the target tissue, which generally it requires several daily applications. One of the solutions to overcome those issues could be the incorporation of Nys into small, protective and polym...
