Usage of thermal spring water for optimal skin health: bridging traditional the...
Rocha, Pedro Emanuel; Alves, Maria José; Fidalgo, Cátia; Correia, Daniela; Pedrosa, Silvia; Madureira, Ana RaquelThermal spring waters (TSW) have been employed forntherapeutic purposes across the centuries being increasingly recognized for its unique benefits in skin health, in which immunomodulatory effects play a crucial role. By reviewing the literature, the multifaceted properties of TSW, which arise from its diverse mineral composition as well as its thermal characteristics, revealed the strong potential of these wat...
Bioinks Enriched with ECM Components Obtained by Supercritical Extraction
Reis, Daniel P.; Domingues, Beatriz; Fidalgo, Cátia; Reis, R. L.; Gasperini, Luca; Marques, A. P.Extracellular matrix (ECM)-based bioinks have been steadily gaining interest in the field of bioprinting to develop biologically relevant and functional tissue constructs. Herein, we propose the use of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) technology to extract the ECM components of cell-sheets that have shown promising results in creating accurate 3D microenvironments replicating the cellâ s own ECM, to be used...
Unveiling the secretome of the fungal plant pathogen neofusicoccum parvum induc...
Pour, Forough Nazar; Pedrosa, Bruna; Oliveira, Micaela; Fidalgo, Cátia; Devreese, Bart; Driessche, Gonzalez Van; Félix, Carina; Rosa, Nuno; Alves, ArturNeofusicoccum parvum is a fungal plant pathogen of a wide range of hosts but knowledge about the virulence factors of N. parvum and host–pathogen interactions is rather limited. The molecules involved in the interaction between N. parvum and Eucalyptus are mostly unknown, so we used a multi-omics approach to understand pathogen–host interactions. We present the first comprehensive characterization of the in vit...
Do stress and anxiety impact memory? an exploratory portuguese study
Alho, Laura; Rodrigues, Pedro; Fidalgo, CátiaEyewitness memory is widely studied in the forensic context, due to their proneness to make unreliable testimonies. Understanding which factors may impact memory is determinant to avoid wrongful convictions in court. In this exploratory study, the relation between stress and anxiety and memory errors (spontaneous and induced) was analyzed being hypothesized that negative emotions may impair memory performance. ...
Measuring the cell-free layer in circular microchannels
Fidalgo, Cátia; Lima, Rui A.; Oliveira, Mónica; Ishikawa, Takuji; Imai, Yohsuke; Yamaguchi, TakamiOne of the most interesting hemodynamic phenomenon observed both in vivo and in vitro studies is known as Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect, in which the apparent blood viscosity decreases as the tube diameter is reduced, for narrow tubes (< 300 μm). The physical reason behind this phenomenon is the creation of a marginal cell-free layer at regions adjacent to the tube wall. Although intensively studied, the complex fo...
Análise experimental do movimento preparatório de salto em altura
Fidalgo, Cátia; Cerqueira, Célio; Cidre, Diana; Barros, Diana; Silva, Hélder; Piloto, P.A.G.São apresentados resultados experimentais de medições efectuadas na análise do salto em altura com agachamento, na amostra de um conjunto de indivíduos do sexo masculino e feminino. Foram realizados cinco ensaios para três níveis de agachamento inicial, com monitorização de um acelerómetro colocado na zona pélvica e com um sistema de análise de movimento assistido por vídeo e computador. Os resultados permitira...
Simulação do movimento preparatório do salto utilizando diferentes modelos antr...
Fidalgo, Cátia; Cerqueira, Célio; Cidre, Diana; Barros, Diana; Silva, Hélder; Piloto, P.A.G.O corpo humano pode ser definido através de um sistema de segmentos articulados em equilíbrio dinâmico, sendo o movimento causado por forças internas e externas, provocando variações angulares dos segmentos. Este estudo pretende apresentar uma síntese da análise do comportamento do movimento plano, preparatório de salto do corpo humano, com contra movimento. Serão considerados diferentes modelos de análise, bas...
