Marine gelatin-methacryloyl-based hydrogels as cell templates for cartilage tis...
Machado, Inês; Marques, Catarina F.; Martins, Eva; Alves, Ana L.; Reis, Rui L.; Silva, Tiago H.Marine-origin gelatin has been increasingly used as a safe alternative to bovine and porcine ones due to their structural similarity, avoiding the health-related problems and sociocultural concerns associated with using mammalian-origin materials. Another benefit of marine-origin gelatin is that it can be produced from fish processing-products enabling high production at low cost. Recent studies have demonstrat...

Cell-laden marine gelatin methacryloyl hydrogels enriched with ascorbic acid fo...
Alves, Ana L.; Carvalho, Ana C.; Machado, Inês; Diogo, Gabriela S.; Fernandes, Emanuel M.; Castro, Vânia Isabel Baptista; Pires, Ricardo A.Corneal pathologies from infectious or noninfectious origin have a significant impact on the daily lives of millions of people worldwide. Despite the risk of organ rejection or infection, corneal transplantation is currently the only effective treatment. Finding safe and innovative strategies is the main goal of tissue-engineering-based approaches. In this study, the potential of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hy...
Skin byproducts of reinhardtius hippoglossoides (Greenland Halibut) as ecosusta...
Martins, Eva; Fernandes, Rita; Alves, Ana L.; Sousa, Rita O.; Reis, R. L.; Silva, Tiago H.Collagen is a ubiquitous protein present in the extracellular matrix of all major metazoan animals, with approximately 28 different human collagen types described in the literature, each with unique physicochemical properties. Collagens found broad application in the cosmeceutical, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields and can be isolated from environmentally sustainable sources such as marine byproducts, which...
Cosmetic potential of marine fish skin collagen
Alves, Ana L.; Marques, Ana L. P; Martins, Eva; Silva, Tiago José Quinteiros Lopes Henriques; Reis, R. L.Many cosmetic formulations have collagen as a major component because of its significant benefits as a natural humectant and moisturizer. This industry is constantly looking for innovative, sustainable, and truly efficacious products, so marine collagen based formulations are arising as promising alternatives. A solid description and characterization of this protein is fundamental to guarantee the highest quali...
