The angiogenic properties of natural rubber were evaluated in this work. We have used the
chick chorioallantoic membrane assay (CAM) as a model to investigate the influence of the …

In this work, we propose natural rubber latex (NRL) membranes as a protein delivery
system. For this purpose Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was incorporated into the latex …

Latex extracted from Hevea brasiliensis was used as an occlusive membrane for guided
bone regeneration. Twenty‐four rabbits were divided in two groups: treated and control …

Sodium Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) taken to reduce
inflammation and, as an analgesic, reduce pain. Although this drug is widely used in the …

The present study investigated the biocompatibility of a biopolymer based on vegetable
latex extracted from the Hevea brasiliensis rubber tree, implanted into the bony alveolar …

Increases in vascular permeability and angiogenesis are crucial events to wound repair,
tumoral growth and revascularization of tissues submitted to ischemia. An increased …
