Boosting textiles with plant extracts: an advanced sustainable antimicrobial in...
Oliveira, Cláudia S.; Rocha, Ashly; Antunes, Jéssica; Silva, Augusta; Silva, Carla; Tavaria, Freni K.This study investigates the incorporation of natural plant extracts, particularly eucalyptus and hop, into knitted fabrics to develop antimicrobial textiles. The antibacterial activity of the functionalized fabrics was evaluated against two pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and one common skin commensal (Staphylococcus epidermidis). Biocompatibility with human skin cells was asses...
Sustainable textiles with plant extracts for skin applications
Oliveira, Cláudia S.; Rocha, Ashly; Antunes, Jéssica; Silva, Augusta; Silva, Carla; Tavaria, Freni K.The expanding market for antimicrobial textiles demands innovative products to support modern technological advancements across various industries. This growing need includes the food industry, where antimicrobial textiles are vital for preventing contamination through uniforms and surface coverings; healthcare institutions, which utilize these products to reduce infection spread; consumer goods such as clothin...
Nanosystems, Drug Molecule Functionalization and Intranasal Delivery: An Update...
Antunes, Jéssica; Amado, Joana; Veiga, Francisco; Paiva-Santos, Ana Cláudia; Pires, Patrícia C.Depression and anxiety are high incidence and debilitating psychiatric disorders, usually treated by antidepressant or anxiolytic drug administration, respectively. Nevertheless, treatment is usually given through the oral route, but the low permeability of the blood-brain barrier reduces the amount of drug that will be able to reach it, thus consequently reducing the therapeutic efficacy. Which is why it is im...
In-air production of 3D co-culture tumor spheroid hydrogels for expedited drug ...
Antunes, Jéssica; Gaspar, Vítor M.; Ferreira, Luís; Monteiro, Maria; Henrique, Rui; Jerónimo, Carmen; Mano, João F.Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro tumor spheroids are becoming popular as pre-clinical platforms for testing the performance of existing drugs or for discovery of innovative anti-cancer therapeutics. This focus is correlated with in vitro 3D tumor models ability to mimic the multicellular compact structure and spatial architecture of human solid tumors. However, these microphysiological systems generally lack the...
