A economia circular e o slow fashion são ações estratégicas para se pensar a respeito da sociedade de risco, que foi consolidada na ideia de “extrair, consumir e descartar”. Estudos apontam que 136 mil toneladas de retalhos ...

The manufacture of asbestos materials has been banished worldwide due to their toxicity, but discarding the existing wastes remains a challenge. We investigated an alternative mechanochemical method to treat asbestos-cement ...

The release of bioactive Strontium ions (Sr2+) from titanium implants has a positive impact on osseointegration. It is however challenging to achieve a slow Sr2+ release over weeks until tissue regeneration. A hybrid ...

The association of alginate beads and guar-gum films in a single delivery system was idealized to promote a more effective buccal and oral delivery of bioactive molecules. A response surface method (experimental design ...

The goal of topical and cutaneous delivery is to deliver therapeutic and other substances to a desired target site in the skin at appropriate doses to achieve a safe and efficacious outcome. Normally, however, when the ...

Introduction: Autophagy is a critical housekeeping pathway to remove toxic protein aggregates, damaged organelles, providing cells with bioenergetic substrates needed to survive under adverse conditions. Since altered ...

In this study, new hydrogels in rod shape were prepared from N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPA), N-acryloyl-tris-(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (NAT) and N,N´-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS). The effect of the incorporation of NAT ...
