From the invisible to the visible world and back...

Hi, today I'll tell you about the nanoliposomes.
It is a small hollow vesicle (50-200nm) whose double membrane is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and in an aqueous solution form a spherical structure. They have an identical composition to the cells of the organism (phospholipids).

They are used in the pharmaceutical industry to encapsulate and transport active ingredients without oxidizing or degrading them at the time of their liberation, such as fish oil or vitamin C. It is also used to incorporate active ingredients into foods, creams or cosmetics.
I'ts importance is that they are made of phospholipids, so it gives them the advantage of not being rejected by the organism. and serve to transport active substances that are very unstable and easy to oxidize in the human body.

These nanoparticles are a breakthrough for pharmaceutical science, since we can encapsulate a large number of substances in them and give different uses.At the moment it is being studied the future use of these molecules to transport active substance to anticancer cells and to eliminate them, in addition to the encapsulation of the fish oil and the incorporation of these in the foods.This would be a breakthrough for health, since it could find a possible cure for cancer, or on the other hand, incorporate efficiently the oil of fish to our organism would help us to prevent a lot of diseases.

Well, to say goodbye, I want to tell you that I decided to talk about this topic, because I had to expose about the encapsulation of fish oil in nanoliposomes last week, besides,  others classmates had to expose about the advances of encapsulation of anticancer in these particles and  its effectiveness.This seemed very interesting, since I discovered that the nanoliposomes can be used for various active principles, and may have different purpose of use, in addition they are super effective to transport any substance, reason why gives me many hope that in the future they can use for great purposes and cure many diseases!

The most enjoyable subject ...

Hello, today I will tell you about my favorite subject Organic Chemistry. 
I like it because I find it very interesting, and although it is a bit difficult and I do not have the qualifications I would like :(, I like to study it.I also find that it is a fundamental subject for our career.I have a laboratory of matter and another where everything is theoretical. In general I like the theorist more, since most of the time I do not understand what I do in the laboratory.The classes are divided into two parts, a seminar where exercises are done of the subject and a theoretical class.

In the classes I only pay attention and try to write down everything that the teacher  says, although often the theoretical classes are considered as already learned content,so that they professors omit content (and I don,t like it ) ,and in the seminars, we exercise what we have learned and we have evaluations.
The material I find interesting because it teaches us why and how the reactions occur in organic chemistry and makes me feel like a real scientist, although I'm missing a lot to be ajaj.
The teacher that I liked the most is Patricio Navarrete, he explains very well and in detail, I like that he does not use Power Point and only occupy the board, he is a great teacher.

Person/Expert you admire

Hello, today I will tell you about my favorite scientist Marie Curie.
Well she was a Polish chemist and physicist-nationalized French-of century XIX and XX.
Marie was born on November 7, 1867 in Poland,  and by the era it had to be limited to study in secret by the fact of being woman, until she moved  to Paris, where he studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Paris. In 1894 he met his husband and research partner: physics professor Pierre Curie, with which he would end up elucidating important findings in the field of radioactivity.

In 1903 defended his doctoral thesis titled "Investigations on the radioactive substances", work that earned him the doctor's degree and the Nobel Prize of Physics in 1903 (shared with his husband Pierre Curie and his director of thesis Henri Becquerel).
Her last major academic recognition was the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was awarded to her in 1910 for the discovery of "Polonium" (named after her native country) and "Radio".
Finally she died at age 66 in his native country due to a disease derived from the high radiation to which she was exposed much of her life.
She I like it because it is an icon of women in science and society, was the first person to receive two Nobel prizes and was also a pioneer in the field of radioactivity, investigating its use for medicinal purposes.Besides She was the first woman to teach at the University of Paris, so for me it is someone admirable.
