An increase in the world population and its life expectancy, as well as the ongoing concern about our physical appearance, have elevated the relevance of dental implantology in recent decades. Engineering strategies to improve the survival rate of dental implants have been widely investigated, focusing on implant material composition, geometry...

The unique properties that nanoparticles exhibit, due to their small size, are the principal reason for their numerous applications, but at the same time, this might be a massive menace to the environment. The number of studies that assess the possible ecotoxicity of nanomaterials has been increasing over the last decade to determine if,...

The complexity of some diseases—as well as the inherent toxicity of certain drugs—has led to an increasing interest in the development and optimization of drug-delivery systems. Polymeric nanoparticles stand out as a key tool to improve drug bioavailability or specific delivery at the site of action. The versatility of polymers makes them...

El concepto de biofortificación se basa en incrementar el valor nutricional de los diferentes alimentos por medio de métodos de selección, mejora de cultivos o ingeniería genética. En este sentido, el trabajo que presentamos ha utilizado nanopartículas cargadas con hierro como parte de la disolución de riego, con el objeto de evaluar cómo se...

En la actualidad el hambre y los malos hábitos alimenticios son un problema reconocido por la organización mundial de la salud (OMS). A pesar de todos los esfuerzos propuestos para solventar este problema, la OMS ha admitido que no se alcanzará el objetivo de hambre cero para 2030. Por todo esto y para aportar soluciones imaginativas a este...

En la actualidad podemos encontrar un gran número de fertilizantes para mejorar el crecimiento de plantas, pero en su gran mayoría son nocivos para el medio ambiente o es necesario aplicarlos en varias dosis. Se propuso para paliar estos problemas el uso de bacterias con actividad PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria), combinadas con...

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) involves activation of mast cells (MC) and NFкB in parallel with the PPAR-a/NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1b pathway in the inflamed colon. Whether polyphenols from maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) represent a natural alternative treatment for CD is unclear. Therefore, we used an animal model of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene...

Antibiotic resistance is an increasing public health problem that affects numerous pathogens, including Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, which has a high prevalence of methicillin resistance and can be easily transmitted to humans. Nowadays, the scientific community is developing new compounds that not only improve classic therapies in fighting...

Biofortification has been widely used to increase mineral nutrients in staple foods, such as wheat (Triticum aestivum). In this study, a new approach has been used by analyzing the effect of inoculation with a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR), namely, Bacillus aryabhattai RSO25 and the addition of 1% (v/v) of organometallic...
