    Abstract The development of biomaterials has a substantial role in pharmaceutical and medical strategies for the enhancement of life quality. This review work focused on versatile biomaterials based on nanocomposites comprising organic polymers and a class of layered inorganic nanoparticles, aiming for drug delivery (oral, transdermal, and ocular delivery) and tissue engineering (skin and bone therapies). Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are 2D nanomaterials that can intercalate anionic bioactive species between the layers. The layers can hold metal cations that confer intrinsic biological activity to LDHs as well as biocompatibility. The intercalation of bioactive species between the layers allows the formation of drug delivery systems with elevated loading capacity and modified release profiles promoted by ion exchange and/or solubilization. The capacity of tissue integration, antigenicity, and stimulation of collagen formation, among other beneficial characteristics of LDH, have been observed by in vivo assays. The association between the properties of biocompatible polymers and LDH-drug nanohybrids produces multifunctional nanocomposites compatible with living matter. Such nanocomposites are stimuli-responsive, show appropriate mechanical properties, and can be prepared by creative methods that allow a fine-tuning of drug release. They are processed in the end form of films, beads, gels, monoliths etc., to reach orientated therapeutic applications. Several studies attest to the higher performance of polymer/LDH-drug nanocomposite compared to the LDH-drug hybrid or the free drug.

    Abstract Resumo: Introdução: Programas de mentoria são necessários para apoio ao estudante de Medicina e podem ter diversos objetivos, dependendo das instituições que os implementam, embora ainda não sejam uma realidade na maioria das universidades. Durante a pandemia da Covid-19, encontros presenciais foram impedidos, o que dificultou ainda mais a manutenção desses programas, apesar de ser um dos momentos de maior necessidade emocional para os alunos. Ajustaram-se as aulas, e os encontros foram transformados em remotos, e, dessa forma, a mentoria on-line passou a ser uma realidade. Relato de experiência: Apoiado pelo Núcleo de Apoio Psicopedagógico dos Estudantes de Medicina (Napem), foi estruturado um programa de mentoria em pequenos grupos, formados por docentes, discentes mais experientes (comentores) e mentorados (alunos do primeiro ao terceiro ano) com reuniões realizadas de forma remota, o que permitiu a participação dos estudantes, a interação com eles e o acolhimento desse público. As reuniões aconteceram entre junho e dezembro de 2020. O programa contou com a participação de 13 mentores, 94 alunos mentorados e 24 comentores. O programa teve uma sessão de treinamento com mentores e comentores, que foi conduzida pela psicóloga do Napem para alinhamento de expectativas e orientações. As discussões nos grupos focaram dificuldades na vida acadêmica, profissional e pessoal. Discussão: O modelo remoto de mentoria apresenta como pontos fortes a maior flexibilidade para mentores e mentorados, a facilidade de participação de ambos e a manutenção da conexão do grupo, pois os encontros são facilitados pela tecnologia, visto que não houve nenhuma desistência. Como ponto fraco dessa experiência, citamos a falta de análises quantitativas e qualitativas do programa utilizando, por exemplo, entrevistas ou questionários de forma científica para avaliar melhor os resultados. Conclusão: A mentoria remota é útil e deve ser incluída como uma possibilidade de legado permanente para os cursos de Medicina, pois os encontros ...

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a well-characterized class of small noncoding RNAs that act as major posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. Accordingly, miRNAs have been associated with a wide range of fundamental biological processes and implicated in human diseases. During the past decade, miRNAs have also been recognized for their role in the complex interplay between the host and bacterial pathogens, either as part of the host response to counteract infection or as a molecular strategy employed by bacteria to subvert host pathways for their own benefit. Importantly, the characterization of downstream miRNA targets and their underlying mechanisms of action has uncovered novel molecular factors and pathways relevant to infection. In this article, we review the current knowledge of the miRNA response to bacterial infection, focusing on different bacterial pathogens, including

    Abstract Water is one of the scarcest resources in the world, and it is becoming rarer fast, year after year. Chemical engineers are particularly suited to addressing the challenges of saving water and producing more fresh water. Proper education is then critical to prepare them for the upcoming decades. All student laboratories need distilled water, which is typically produced using commercial distillation units, which consume up to 70 L of fresh water per liter of distillated water. This work reports the design, construction, optimization, and operation of a water distillation unit that produces 10 liters per hour at 4 µS∙cm −1 and wastes no fresh water. Developed by a committed team made up of students, lab technicians, and instructors, this unit saves ca. 550 m 3 of fresh water annually while spending less electrical power.

    Abstract MicroRNAs are a class of small noncoding RNAs that act as major post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. They are currently recognized for their important role in the intricate interaction between host and bacterial pathogens, either as part of the host immune response to neutralize infection, or as a molecular strategy employed by bacteria to hijack host pathways for their own benefit. Here, we summarize recent advances on the function of miRNAs during infection of mammalian hosts by bacterial pathogens, highlighting key cellular pathways. In addition, we discuss emerging themes in this field, including the participation of miRNAs in host-microbiota crosstalk and cell-to-cell communication.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of genome-encoded small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by repressing target transcripts containing partially or fully complementary binding sites.Despite their relatively low number, miRNAs have been shown to directly regulate a large fraction of the transcriptome. In agreement with their pervasive role in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression, miRNAs have been implicated in virtually all biological processes, including different pathologies.The use of screening technologies to systematically analyze miRNA function in cell-based assays offers a unique opportunity to gain new insights into complex biological and disease-relevant processes. Given the low complexity of the miRNome and the similarities to small interfering RNA (siRNA) screening experimental approaches, phenotypic screening using genome-wide libraries of miRNA mimics or inhibitors is not, per se, technically challenging. The identification of miRNA targets and, more importantly, the characterization of their mechanisms of action through the identification of the key targets underlying observed phenotypes remain the major challenges of this approach.This article provides an overview of cell-based screenings for miRNA function that were performed in different biological contexts. The advantages and limitations of computational and experimental approaches commonly used to identify miRNA targets are also discussed.

    Abstract A central question concerning natural competence is why orthologs of competence genes are conserved in non-competent bacterial species, suggesting they have a role other than in transformation. Here we show that competence induction in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus occurs in response to ROS and host defenses that compromise bacterial respiration during infection. Bacteria cope with reduced respiration by obtaining energy through fermentation instead. Since fermentation is energetically less efficient than respiration, the energy supply must be assured by increasing the glycolytic flux. The induction of natural competence increases the rate of glycolysis in bacteria that are unable to respire via upregulation of DNA- and glucose-uptake systems. A competent-defective mutant showed no such increase in glycolysis, which negatively affects its survival in both mouse and Galleria infection models. Natural competence foster genetic variability and provides S. aureus with additional nutritional and metabolic possibilities, allowing it to proliferate during infection.
