In a study conducted by scientists from the São Carlos Chemistry Institute (IQSC), Embrapa Instrumentation, Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR) and Institute of Chemistry of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) the variation of the fatty acids composition of plants affected by citrus sudden death (CSD) was analyzed. The article resulting from the research was published in January in the Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society and the analysis of fatty acids represents an alternative method to support the CSD diagnosis.

BioMicS’ members participate in the development of new method for the production of hypericin-loaded nanoemulsions that increases the efficiency of cancer treatment
Researchers from the Institute of Chemistry of São Carlos (IQSC) and the National Institute of Science and Technology in Bioanalysis (INCTBio) developed a method for the production of hypericin-loaded nanoemulsions by ultrasonication according to an article published in August in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology. The new way to solubilize hypericin provides an increase in its cellular uptake, potentializing the hypericin (Hy) photodynamic therapy – a cancer treatment in potential.Continue reading
