Trends in nanoformulations for atopic dermatitis treatment
(Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2020) [Resenha]Introduction: Immunological skin dysfunctions trigger the synthesis and release of inflammatory cytokines, which induce recurrent skin inflammation associated with chronic itching, inefficient barrier behavior, and reduced ... -
Effectiveness of nanoatrazine in post-emergent control of the tolerant weed Digitaria insularis
(Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2020) [Artigo]Digitaria insularis (sourgrass) is a monocotyledon weed of difficult control and high invasive behavior. Atrazine is widely applied in the Americas to control weeds in maize culture, but its efficiency against D. insularis ... -
Localization of Coated Iron Oxide (Fe3O4) Nanoparticles on Tomato Seeds and Their Effects on Growth
(ACS Applied Bio Materials, 2020) [Artigo]Food demand due to the growing global population has been stretching the agriculture sector to the limit. This demands the cultivation of plants in shrinking land areas which makes the search for highly effective systems ... -
Zein Nanoparticles Impregnated with Eugenol and Garlic Essential Oils for Treating Fish Pathogens
(ACS Omega, 2020) [Artigo]The supply of food derived from aquaculture has increased significantly in recent years. The aim of this industrial sector is to produce sustainable products to meet the needs of consumers, providing food security and ... -
Poloxamer micellar system for intra-articular injection of 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 with improved bioavailability and anti-inflammatory properties in the temporomandibular joint of rats
(International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2020) [Artigo]Painful conditions of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are challenging to manage and most attempts often result in unsatisfactory outcomes. In such context, nanocarrier systems, such as polymeric micelles, have been showing ... -
Recent Developments in Nanotechnology for Detection and Control of Aedes aegypti-Borne Diseases
(Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020) [Resenha]Arboviruses such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and zika are transmitted mainly by the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti. Especially in the tropics, inefficacy of mosquito control causes arboviruses outbreaks every year, ... -
Interference of goethite in the effects of glyphosate and Roundup® on ZFL cell line
(Toxicology in Vitro, 2020) [Artigo]Goethite (α-FeOOH) brings important perspectives in environmental remediation, as, due to its physicochemical properties, this iron oxide can adsorb a wide variety of compounds, including glyphosate. This study aimed to ... -
Sublethal effects of waterborne copper and copper nanoparticles on the freshwater Neotropical teleost Prochilodus lineatus: A comparative approach
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020) [Artigo]Copper nanoparticles can contaminate the aquatic environment, but their effects on fish and how they may differ from copper salts is not understood. Thus, in this work we compare the sublethal effects of copper nanoparticles ... -
Quantifying soil compaction in persimmon orchards using isum (Improved stock unearthing method) and core sampling methods
(Agriculture (Switzerland), 2020) [Artigo]Agricultural activities induce micro-topographical changes, soil compaction and structural changes due to soil cultivation, which directly affect ecosystem services. However, little is known about how these soil structural ... -
Physicochemical characterization and cytotoxicity of articaine-2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex
(Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2020) [Artigo]Articaine (ATC) is one of the most widely used local anesthetics in dentistry. Despite its safety, local toxicity has been reported. This study aimed to develop an ATC-2- hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex (ATC ... -
Improved stock unearthing method (Isum) as a tool to determine the value of alternative topographic factors in estimating inter-row soil mobilisation in citrus orchards
(Spanish Journal of Soil Science, 2020) [Artigo]The Improved Stock Unearthing Method (ISUM) was initially designed to assess soil mobilisation rates in vineyards; however, other grafted crops such as citrus orchards could also be successfully used. The results obtained ... -
