Recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology have expanded our ability to develop multifunctional nanostructures that combine therapeutic and diagnostic functions into a single nanostructured complex. These materials, called "teranostics", have been interesting for many applications, especially in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, including cancer. The versatility of the…
The present proposal establishes the continuity and expansion of the activities of the National Institute of Science and Technology in Stem Cells and Cell Therapy, one of the National Institutes of Science and Technology created by CNPq/FAPESP in 2008. In that opportunity, we proposed the development of an extensive program of basic and clinical research to understand, isolate, culture an…
Lignocellulosic biomass, such as sugarcane bagasse, holds a promise of environmentally friendly bioenergy production in Brazil. However, enzymatic hydrolysis, currently considered a method of choice in biomass saccharification, is hampered by considerable cell-wall recalcitrance. To make this technology sustainable and cost effective, our comprehension of cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis sh…

Most cancer drugs are water-insoluble, untargeted, and have high side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, the development of carrier systems based on biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) for the intracellular delivery of bioactive drugs has attracted attention in modern nanomedicine. Nanocarriers composed of calcium phosphates (CaPs) stand out due to their unique properties, suc…
Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death among infectious diseases according to the World Health Organization and represents a major problem for public health. Around 1.4 million people died from tuberculosis in the world in 2019, and in Brazil, there are about 4,400 to 4,600 cases per year since 2010. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis is essential for the most efficient treatment. , avoi…
Early detection of liver cancer is a difficult task because it is a kind of tumour thatprogresses quickly into its malignant form, and its diagnosis relies on imaging testscombined with tests for the blood biomarker alpha-fetoprotein. This approach haslimitations on its early detection strategy due to low imaging equipment resolutionand predictive power of endogenous blood biomarkers, whi…

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women. In 2018, 2,1 million of new cases were reported worldwide, being 59.700 occurred in Brazil. Early diagnosis of the disease is a crucial factor to increase patient's chances of survival. Currently, breast cancer diagnosis is performed by mammography and tissue biopsy. However, these methods require costly equipment and specia…
Cancer is one of the biggest challenges in world science today. The increased incidence of cancer and the healing difficulty leads to an extensive search for innovation and improvement in therapies. This need boosted the utilization of nanotechnology in medicine in the last few decades, thanks to the reduced size of nanomaterials, which offers unique and better properties in comparison to…
Zika and Dengue are diseases caused by viruses of the Flaviviridae family and transmitted mainly by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. They have global range and reach essentially tropical and subtropical regions. Although there are detection techniques, such as ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and PCR (polymerase chain reaction), they take time and are high cost, making it impossible the…

According to the World Health Organization, one of the most deadly diseases in the world iscancer. With over 100 types of cancer detected, this disease is constantly changing, making it difficult to choose of treatment. Some types of cancer are silent, and when diagnosed late they are in malignant progression and metastasis. Tumors in the advanced stage are highly vascularized, but unbala…
Alzheimer's disease is a devastating condition common among elderly people characterized by a progressive and slow brain decay that may take decades to complete. This disease currently affects over 36 million people and, due to population aging, projections indicate that in 25 years this number will triple - resulting in very high cost to health systems. Although the causes for the develo…
The development of nanoscience, nanotechnology and nanomedicine promoted a new frontier on study of nanomaterials, allowing them to be used in cellular and molecular level. Some nanomaterials are showing a high relevance, such as graphene oxide, which is endowed of mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, making them appropriate for biomedical device development and application. Man…
