Materials in particulate form for tissue engineering. 2. Applications in bone (2007)

Silva, Gabriela, Coutinho, O. P, Ducheyne, Paul, Reis, R. L

Materials in particulate form have been the subjects of intensive research in view of their use as drug delivery systems. While within this application there are still issues to be addressed, these...

Materials in particulate form for tissue engineering. 1. Basic concepts (2007)

Silva, Gabriela, Ducheyne, Paul, Reis, R. L

For biomedical applications, materials small in size are growing in importance. In an era where 'nano' is the new trend, micro- and nano-materials are in the forefront of developments. Materials in...

Molecular Characterization of Desulfovibrio gigas Neelaredoxin, a Protein Involved in Oxygen Detoxification in Anaerobes

Silva, Gabriela, LeGall, Jean, Xavier, António V., Teixeira, Miguel, Rodrigues-Pousada, Claudina

Desulfovibrio gigas neelaredoxin is an iron-containing protein of 15 kDa, having a single iron site with a His4Cys coordination. Neelaredoxins and homologous proteins are widespread in anaerobic...
