Cu/TiO2-SiO2 Nanostructured Materials for Brain Cancer Treatment

Ortiz-Islas E., Guevara P., Gómez E., Monroy H., Novaro O., National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, MX

In the present work, we are reporting the toxic effect to brain cancer cells exerted by copper complexes loaded (CC) on a binary oxide. For this purpose, the TiO2-SiO2 oxide was prepared using the sol-gel [...]

Molar variation of water: alkoxy in the preparation of SiO2-DA materials and its effect on dopamine release from an implantable reservoir in the brain

Lopez T., Esquivel D., Garcia E., National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, MX

In the present work we report the dopamine (DA) molecules stabilization in the network of nanostructured silica materials with the objective of using these as reservoirs of DA release in the brain. For this purpose [...]
