Diabetic Retinopathy and Ocular Melanoma: How Far We Are?
Souto, Eliana B.; Campos, Joana R.; Ana, Raquel da; Fangueiro, Joana F.; Martins-Gomes, Carlos; Durazzo, Alessandra; Lucarini, MassimoDiabetic retinopathy causes vascular damage to retinal neurons, presenting characteristics of chronic inflammation. The development of new therapies capable of combating vision loss involves knowledge of inflammatory retinal changes. Studies in animal models and patients with diabetes have shown a high expression of the inflammatory molecules that are involved in the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Uveal m...
Factors affecting the retention efficiency and physicochemical properties of sp...
Baldim, Iara; Rosa, Débora M.; Souza, Claudia R. F.; Ana, Raquel da; Durazzo, Alessandra; Lucarini, Massimo; Santini, Antonello; Souto, Eliana B.Essential oils (EOs) are widely used in various industrial sectors but can present several instability problems when exposed to environmental factors. Encapsulation technologies are effective solutions to improve EOs properties and stability. Currently, the encapsulation in lipid nanoparticles has received significant attention, due to the several recognized advantages over conventional systems. The study aimed...
