Plant-based extracts are rich sources of phenolic compounds, which may act as skin antiaging mediators. Herein, Cistus albidus L. (Ca), Cistus ladanifer L. subsp. ladanifer (Cl) and Cistus salviifolius L. (Cs) were selected to test whether their phytochemical profile and bioactive potential align to target human skin aging. Hydroethanolic extracts (HEs) were prepared and characterized using infrared vibrational...

Enquadramento: O desperdício alimentar (DA) constitui um problema global com profundas implicações ambientais, económicas e sociais. Na União Europeia desperdiçam-se cerca de 59 milhões de toneladas de alimentos por ano (≈132 kg por pessoa), contribuindo para 16 % das emissões do sistema alimentar e gerando custos superiores a 130 mil milhões €/ano. Em Portugal, o DA ronda 1,9 milhões de toneladas anuais (≈184 ...

Background: Microplastics (MPs) have been raising environmental and human health concerns [1]. Polyethylene (PE) is a synthetic organic polymer and is one of the main constituents of plastics [2]. PE MPs are widely used in cosmetics and personal care products due to their cost-effectiveness, versatility and durability [3]. However, their effect on skin cells remains unclear. Exposure of the dermis to these part...
Objective: Previous literature has shown that executive functions (EF) are related to performance in memory tasks. The fact that there are no psychometric tests that evaluate these two constructs simultaneously led a group of researchers to develop the Test of Memory Strategies (TSM). Given the potential importance of this instrument for neuropsychological evaluation, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the psy...
Cannabis sativa L. is a versatile plant with significant medicinal, industrial, and recreational applications. Its therapeutic potential is attributed to cannabinoids like THC and CBD, whose production is influenced by environmental factors, such as radiation, temperature, and humidity. Radiation, for instance, is essential for photosynthetic processes, acting as both a primary energy source and a regulator of ...
