Therapeutic textiles functionalized with keratin-based particles encapsulating ...
Costa, André; Luís, Salomé; Noro, Jennifer Martins; Silva, Sónia Carina; Silva, C.; Ribeiro, ArturOnychomycosis is the most common nail fungal infection worldwide. There are several therapy options available for onychomycosis, such as oral antifungals, topicals, and physical treatments.
