Understanding the relationships between the physicochemical properties of engineered
nanomaterials and their toxicity is critical for environmental and health risk analysis …

Chagas disease is a neglected parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma
cruzi. After a mostly clinically silent acute phase, the disease becomes a lifelong chronic …

Quantum dots (QDs) are colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals of a few nanometers in
diameter, being their size and shape controlled during the synthesis. They are synthesized …

The use of chitosan functionalized silica for benznidazole delivery in the treatment of
neglected disease such as Chagas disease is one of the forms not yet explored, but with …

Metallic miniaturization techniques have taken metals to nanoscale size where they can
display fascinating properties and their potential applications in medicine. In recent years …

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals, which present unique photophysical
properties, enabling their application as new fluorescent platforms for biomedical sciences …

Chagas disease, is a vector-mediated tropical disease whose causative agent is a parasitic
protozoan named Trypanosoma cruzi. It is a very severe health issue in South America and …

New oxirane derivatives were synthesized using six naphthoquinones as the starting
materials. Our biological results showed that these oxiranes acted as trypanocidal agents …

Quantum dots (QDs) are novel class of inorganic fluorophore with superior photophysical
properties. Superior optical properties are a promising alternative to organic dyes for …

Abstract CdSe/ZnS Quantum dots (QDs) are possibly released to surface water due to their
extensive application. Based on their high reactivity, even small amounts of toxicant QDs will …
