Summary: The application of phosphate fertilizer and the evaluation period had an impact on the carbohydrate concentration of Carapa guianensis Aubl. seedlings. The phosphorus content varied with time in different plant parts, and the plants accumulated carbohydrates during the dry season but had lower dry matter production.

Summary: The physicochemical functionality and partitioning of bioactive compounds in crabwood oil and its fractions were studied. The partitioning of important bioactive components, such as limonoids and sterols, depended on the solvent polarity. The fractionation process led to measurable changes in the fatty acid composition and physical properties of the oil. The solid fractions showed different crystallization temperatures and SFC profiles compared to the oil. The microstructures of the fractions varied, potentially leading to different sensory characteristics on the skin and in the mouth.

Summary: The study demonstrates the significant promise of trichocyte keratins in promoting wound healing, with distinct behaviors and advantages observed among different types. Transcriptomic analysis reveals the regulatory mechanisms of keratins in cell proliferation, migration, and blood vessel generation. These findings can contribute to the development and precision application of keratins.

Summary: A study reports the development of an autologous heterogeneous skin construct (AHSC) that can aid wound closure. For acute and chronic wounds involving deeper layers of the skin, dressings alone are often insufficient and additional therapies such as skin grafting, skin substitutes, or growth factors are needed.

Summary: This paper presents a complete characterization of the leaf surface of Amazon Carapa guianensis Aubl., revealing the cellular and non-cellular structures that make up the leaf architecture. The study also shows that wettability analysis and AFM images can provide detailed information about the microstructure of the leaf, while fractal parameters confirm changes in spatial patterns as a function of scale size.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of andiroba oil (AO) and a nanoemulsion of andiroba oil (AN) to reduce the side effects of Doxorubicin (DOX) in treating cancer. It was found that andiroba oil reduced the severity of lesions caused by DOX, decreasing hematotoxicity and histological changes, while also reducing apoptotic cell death. In some cases, the nanoemulsion AN showed greater efficacy than AO alone, highlighting the potential of nanotechnology to improve the pharmacokinetics of lipid compounds in the body.
