Nanoporous materials as multiple therapeutic agents
About
Completed
| Although nitric oxide (NO) is very toxic in low concentrations it plays a key role in the regulation of several biological systems of the human body. Solid carriers have potential biomedical interest in the delivery of exogenous NO for anti-bacterial, anti-thrombic and wound healing applications. In this research line, we prepare and modify nanoporous materials with the main goal of studying its potential in the field of storage and release of nitric oxide for therapeutic applications. This project (IF/00993/2012/CP0172/CT0013) is funded in part by FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. |
