Background: The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a biomarker that is highly overexpressed on the surface of epithelial carcinoma cells. In this study, silver nanoparticles covered with polyvinyl alcohol (AgNPs-PVA) ...

Horticultural crops are an important food source for global population. However, crops still show high rates of postharvest losses, due to its high perishability. Ethylene is a plant hormone that regulates aspects such as ...

This document seeks to present the procedures adopted for the development of a microstrip antenna, with a center frequency of 401 MHz and linear polarization, modeled through the transmission line method, using the Taconic ...

Designing and controlling spontaneous imbibition is becoming a key requirement for advanced devices, presenting a substantial scientific and engineering challenge. Here we describe an approach that allows directional ...

Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) material composed only of carbon atoms, which has been widely studied due to its electrical, mechanical and optical properties. The combination of this material with some characterization ...

Nanogels play a leading role in controlled release systems because they possess high water retention capacity resulting in high loading capabilities, stability in biological fluids and biocompatibility. In this scenario, ...

A simple synthesis procedure was designed to obtain hybrid materials based on graphite structures and magnetite nanoparticles. These new structures were characterized using different techniques. The results show that the ...

Local delivery systems from an osteoconductive biomaterial are suggested as a promising strategy to avoid simultaneously peri-implant traumas and to induce tissue regeneration. In this work, it is detailed the design and ...

Nowadays, the repair of large-size bone defects represents a huge medical challenge. A line of attack is the construction of advanced biomaterials having multifunctional properties. In this work, we show the creation of ...
