Agência FAPESP* – André Julião | Agência FAPESP – Um novo biomaterial desenvolvido na Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp) pode ajudar a resolver dois problemas de uma só vez. A biopartícula pode carrear medicamentos diretamente ao intestino de peixes, ajudando a enfrentar a resistência microbiana aos antibióticos convencionais, por exemplo. Além disso, mostrou-se altamente palatável aos animais, o que [...]

O novo biomaterial poderá ajudar a prevenir a resistência microbiana e, ao mesmo tempo, reduz o desperdício e a poluição causados pelo excesso de fármacos na água
O trabalho coordenado pelo professor Omar Mertins, do Departamento de Biofísica da Escola Paulista de Medicina da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (EPM/Unifesp), com coautoria de Patrick Mathews Delgado, pós-doutorando do Programa de [...]

SÃO PAULO.- A novel biomaterial developed at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil can help solve two problems at once. As a bioparticle, it can act as a drug carrier, delivering medication directly to the gastrointestinal tract of fish in order to circumvent resistance to conventional antibiotics, for example. In addition, it is administered orally in powder form and is highly palatable to fish, increasing the probability of effective treatment while at the same [...]

Bioparticle delivers medication directly to the gastrointestinal tract of fish to circumvent antimicrobial resistance
The Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil has developed a novel biomaterial that delivers medication directly to the fish gut. In addition to helping combat antimicrobial resistance, the bioparticle avoids the waste and pollution created by excessive amounts of drugs in water bodies. The strategy was tested on an ornamental fish species native to the [...]
