The Eyes Never Lie: A Rare Cutaneous Manifestation of Hematological Malignancy
Almeida-Silva, Gustavo; Sun, Lanyu; Antunes, Joanan/a.; n/d.
Functionalization of 3D-printed gyroid structures with active agents for enhanc...
Pinto, Ângela; Moreira, Maria João; Gonçalves, Afonso; Rua, Ricardo F.; Arruda, Luisa Mendes; Gomes, Fernanda; Antunes, Joana; Bessa, JoãoThe textile industry is a major consumer of water, contributing significantly to global water pollution due to the discharge of untreated wastewater containing dyes and chemicals. Consequently, water contamination in this sector is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention. Hence, the present studies alternative filtration solutions using strategically designed gyroid structures for Plate and Frame filt...
Update on Generalized Pustular Psoriasis.
Torres, Tiago; Antunes, Joana; Tavares Bello, Rui; Varela, Paulo; Henrique, Martinha; Marques Pinto, Gabriela; Figueiredo, Américo; Correia, OsvaldoGeneralized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare but severe inflammatory skin disease characterized by the eruption of widespread sterile pustules, often accompanied by systemic inflammation. Although GPP can coexist with plaque psoriasis, it is increasingly recognized as a distinct entity with unique clinicopathological, immunologic, and genetic features. The dysregulated IL-36 pathway, including mutations in th...
A Reference Architecture for Dry Port Digital Twins: Preliminary Assessment Usi...
Antunes, Joana; Barata, João; Rupino da Cunha, Paulo; Estima, Jacinto; Tavares, JoséDry Ports are critical infrastructures in the logistics chain, optimizing seaport operations by providing customs services and container storage on land. Some of their main challenges include traffic congestion, environmental impact, high dependence on regulations and paper documentation, and the need to provide reliable information to government authorities and road and rail freight industries. More recently, ...
Upcycling fishing net waste and metal oxide from electroplating waste into alga...
Barros, Daniel; Nobre, Luís; Antunes, Joana; Bessa, João; Cunha, Fernando Eduardo Macedo; Mota, Carlos; Gomes, Fernanda Isabel AntunesPlastic waste, especially discarded fishing nets, and electroplating sludges pose significant environmental challenges, impacting marine ecosystems and contributing to pollution. In alga cultivation, invasive microorganisms often hinder growth, necessitating strategies to combat these issues. This study aimed to develop recycled substrates for alga cultivation by repurposing fishing nets and enhancing their sur...

Pinto, Alexandra Catarina Gonçalves; Antunes, Joana; Henriques, Mariana; Fangueiro, Raúl; Salgueiro-Oliveira, Anabela; Gomes, Fernanda Isabel AntunesOs biofilmes polimicrobianos têm sido alvo de crescente investigação devido ao seu papel como um dos grandes desafios de saúde pública, especialmente em contexto de feridas crónicas. As lesões por pressão (LP) são lesões localizadas na pele e nos tecidos moles causadas por pressão, cisalhamento ou atrito não aliviados1,2e ocorrem principalmente em pessoas com mobilidade reduzida3. As regiões mais propícias à oc...
Nanoplastics activate a TLR4/p38-mediated pro-inflammatory response in human in...
Antunes, Joana; Sobral, Paula; Martins, Marta; Branco, VascoThe crescent presence of nanoplastics in the environment raises concerns regarding their potential impact on health. This study exposed human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT29) and microglia cells (N9) to nanoplastics (25 nm, 50 nm, and 100 nm Polystyrene) to investigate their inflammatory responses, which are vital for body's defence. Although cytotoxicity remained generally low, HT29 cells exhibited a notable ...
Neurobiological Correlates of Fatherhood During the Postpartum Period: A Scopin...
Sobral, Mónica; Pacheco, Francisca; Perry, Beatriz; Antunes, Joana; Martins, Sara; Guiomar, Raquel; Soares, Isabel; Sampaio, Adriana; Mesquita, AnaDuring the postpartum period, the paternal brain suffers extensive and complex neurobiological alterations, through the experience of father-infant interactions. Although the impact of such experience in the mother has been increasingly studied over the past years, less is known about the neurobiological correlates of fatherhood-that is, the alterations in the brain and other physiological systems associated wi...
