Photodynamic therapy is usually used against malignant and non-malignant tumors. Nowadays, due to resistance of bacterial strains, we are looking for a new antimicrobial strategy destroy bacteria with minimal invasive consequences. The worldwide increase in antibiotic among different classes gram-positive gram-negative has led the search alternative anti-microbial therapies such as PDT (aPDT). Development technology combines nontoxic compound, called photosensitizer, visible light...
Cationic quaternized carbon dots (QCDs) and anionic graphene oxide sheets (GO) are combined via non-covalent interactions following a self-assembly pathway to form highly biocompatible fluorescent hybrid materials. These hybrids act as selective probes with controlled labelling of the cell nucleus or cytoplasm depending on QCD loading.

Clustering of biocompatible magnetic iron oxide nanocrystallites (MIONs) is a synthetic strategy which improves manipulation, imaging, and sensing for biomedical applications. In this work we describe the synthesis condensed clustered MIONs obtained through biomineralization epitaxial aggregation in presence alginate at ambient conditions, mimicking process that so far has been achieved only by nature, iron-oxidizing bacteria. These condensed-type nanostructures exhibit higher...
Core–shell hydrophilic superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles, surface functionalized with either terephthalic acid or 2-amino acid, showed large negative MRI contrast ability, validating the advantage of using low molecular weight and π-conjugated canopies for engineering functional nanostructures superior performances.
It is important to understand the nanomaterials intracellular trafficking and distribution investigate their targeting into nuclear area in living cells. In our previous study, we firstly observed penetration of nonmodified positively charged carbon dots decorated with quaternary ammonium groups (QCDs) nucleus mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. Thus, this work, focused on deeper study QCDs inside two healthy L929 cell lines by fluorescence microspectroscopy performed a comprehensive cytotoxic DNA...
In 2009 a new three year EU funded project (QBOL) started on DNA barcoding of important plant pests. An international consortium 20 partners (universities, research institutes, and phytosanitary organizations) from around the world, coordinated by Plant Research International (Wageningen, Netherlands), will collect barcodes many pathogenic quarantine organisms, store these sequences in database accessible over internet, develop bank train end‐users. All activities should help National...
Several recent studies bring evidence of cell death enhancement in photodynamic compound loaded cells by ultrasonic treatment. There are a number hypotheses suggesting the mechanism harmful effect. One them considers process activation photosensitizers energy. Because basis damaging effect on consists production reactive oxygen species (ROS), we focused our study whether ultrasound can increase ROS within cancer cells. Particularly, studied formation pretreated breast adenocarcinoma during...
The modification of implant surface situated in the area peri‐implant sulcus has important role bacterial and cell adhesion. Six different chemically physically modified titanium discs were prepared: glazed (Tis‐MALP), unglazed (Tis‐O), alkali‐etched (Tis‐OA), coated with ZrN (Tis‐OZ), unglazed, sand blasted, acid etched (Tis‐OPAE), acid, alkali (Tis‐OPAAE). Analysis topography was determined using scanning electron microscopy atomic force (AFM). Biocompatibility gingival fibroblasts...
