Electrospun polycaprolactone membranes functionalized with nanochitin for enhan...
Costa, Sofia M.; Mattos, Bruno D.; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Zhu, Ya; Lima, Eurico; Reis, Lucinda; Rojas, Orlando J.; Fangueiro, Raul; Ferreira, Diana P.The encapsulation of photosensitizers (PSs) in electrospun membranes has emerged as a promising approach in photodynamic therapy (PDT) on tumor sites, overcoming the drawbacks associated with systemic administration. In this work, localized implants for cancer treatment using PDT were developed by incorporating EL-2 squaraine into poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) electrospun microfibers. The latter were coated ...

Quinoline- and benzoselenazole-derived unsymmetrical squaraine cyanine dyes: de...
Lima, Eurico; Boto, Renato E.; Ferreira, Diana P.; Fernandes, José R.; Almeida, Paulo; Ferreira, Luis F. V.; Souto, Eliana B.; Silva, Amélia M.Photodynamic therapy is an innovative treatment approach broadly directed towards oncological diseases. Its applicability and efficiency are closely related to the interaction of three main components, namely a photosensitizer, light and molecular triplet oxygen, which should drive cell death. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that squaraine cyanine dyes have a set of photophysical and photochemical p...
Red and near-infrared absorbing dicyanomethylene squaraine cyanine dyes: photop...
Martins, Tiago D.; Lima, Eurico; Boto, Renato E.; Ferreira, Diana Sara Pereira; Fernandes, José R.; Almeida, Paulo; Ferreira, Luis F. V.Photodynamic therapy is a medical modality developed for the treatment of several diseases of oncological and non-oncological etiology that requires the presence of a photosensitizer, light and molecular oxygen, which combined will trigger physicochemical reactions responsible for reactive oxygen species production. Given the scarcity of photosensitizers that exhibit desirable characteristics for its potential ...
Empregabilidade dos alunos diplomados em Análises Clínicas e Saúde Pública da E...
Rolo, Dário; Simão, Duarte; Lima, Eurico; Martins, Tiago; Correia, Vera; Ribeiro, Isabel; Costa, Maria do CéuO presente trabalho foi realizado por um grupo de alunos do 4.º ano do Curso de Análises Clínicas e Saúde Pública (ACSP) da ERISA, no âmbito de um projecto de investigação aplicada. Este projecto visou elaborar uma correlação entre os alunos de ACSP formados na ERISA e a sua empregabilidade. Para tal, elaborou-se um inquérito com 17 questões, o qual foi enviado por correio electrónico a um total de 154 contacto...
