The free radical nitric oxide (NO) plays important actions in several biological processes in mammals, such as the control of vasodilation, immune response, cellular communication and skin healing. NO is also recognized as a key molecule in several physiological processes in plants, including dormancy breaking and seed germination, root growth, flowering, regulation of pollen tube growth,…
Nanotechnology has the potential to make an impact in agriculture through nanoencapsulation of pesticides, herbicides and agrochemicals resulting in precise dosage to the plants. Silver and copper nanoparticles are known to have potent antimicrobial activity against several pathogens. Although these nanoparticles have been greatly explored in biomedical applications, their uses in plant d…
The free radical nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in several biological processes in mammals, such as the control of vasodilation, the immunological responses, the inhibition of platelet adhesion, the cell communication, and the wound healing. In addition, NO is recognized as important molecule in several physiologic process in plants, including break seed dormancy, stimulate plant germ…

Nanotechnology has been drawing the attention of the scientific community due to the properties that these nanomaterials have. Nanoparticles based on metals and metalloids, especially zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) and selenium (Se NPs) nanoparticles, are prominent in the biomedical and, more recently, agricultural areas, as they have potent antimicrobial and antitumor properties. The use of nanopa…
Nanotechnology has gained attention in the field of medicine because it allows the development of materials that provide efficient, targeted treatments and with less side effects, in different biomedical applications. Among the nanomaterials with great potential in biomedicine, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) have excellent potential for localized treatment, since t…
The nitric oxide (NO) molecule controls several physiological processes, such as the promotion and acceleration of skin healing, the repair of various tissues, and in high concentrations it has antitumor and antimicrobial action. As NO is a free radical, in the biological environment there are species capable of inactivating it. Low molecular weight thiols (RSH) are nitrosated to form S-n…
Nitric Oxide (NO) is an endogenous molecule found in mammals and plants, responsible for the control of various physiological processes, such as the organism defense against pathogens. This molecule is a potent antimicrobial agent when at high concentrations. However, since it is a free radical, NO molecule is unstable. One promising strategy to enable the therapeutic use of NO is the com…
Currently, Cancer represents the second disease with the highest mortality rate worldwide, demonstrating challenges regarding the diagnosis and the treatment. In recent decades, Cancer treatments have improved, but they still face difficulties related to high biodistribution, due to the non-specificity, and also the growing tumor resistance to these conventional treatments. In this scenar…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third death cause in cancer with low survival rate and resistance to conventional chemotherapy, specially at intermediate and advanced stages. In this sense, nanomedicine has demonstrated as a promising strategy for overcoming chemoresistance and proportionate reduced side effects. Silica oxide nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) and ZnO NPs have been reported a…
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an obligate human bacterium responsible for causing gonorrhea. It infects the mucosal epithelium of the male urethra and female endo/ectocervix, causing more than 87 million cases per year. Although antibiotics have been successful for treating gonococcal infections, N. gonorrhoeae has developed multidrug resistance, being among the most multidrug-resistant bacter…
Recently, hybrid nanoparticles composed of noble metals and superparamagnetic nanoparticles have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to the versatility of nanomaterials with different characteristics and functions in a single nanostructure. The combination of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) leads to hybrid Fe3O4@…
