There has been a growing interest in insect meals as a sustainable alternative protein source for animal food and feed. In parallel, insect hydrolysates have been investigated in vitro for their bioactive properties, but the impact of dietary inclusion on dog’s nutritional parameters needs to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and bioactive properties of four insect hydrolysate...
Introduction: In recent years, there has been increasing attention on sustainable protein sources for both food and feed, leading to a growing interest in edible insects. However, the potential impact of their bioactive properties on health remains limited. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating the effects of dietary inclusion of Hermetia illucens (BSF) hydrolysates on diet palatability, nutrien...
Wound management challenges everyday thousands of health professionals, mainly due to the constant monitoring and difficulties in deciding the correct treatment options. When considering chronic wounds, selecting the ideal dressing defies clinical knowledge, when facing the large amount of different materials, its distinctive properties and the uniqueness of each patient needs.

Introduction: Cardiovascular risk stratification has included traditional cardiovascular risk factors (TRF) including tobacco, cholesterol and blood pressure adjusted to age and sex. The utility of genetic risk scores (GRS) as predictors of cardiovascular risk remains inconclusive. Objective: We intended to evaluate the ability of a multilocus GRS within the intermediate risk subgroup, defined by the European H...
