Simões-Henriques, Carla Filipa; Rodrigues-Neves, A. Catarina; Sousa, Fábio J.; Gaspar, Rita; Almeida, Inês; Baptista, Filipa I.The involvement of immunity in psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, is typified by the morphologic adaptation of microglia, immune cells of the brain, to anxiogenic stimuli. We previously reported sexually differentiated microglia morphology in adult rodents, in brain locations implicated in anxiety, including the pre-frontal cortex. These physiologic differences likely drive sex-dependent patterns of microg...
Bioactive bacterial nanocellulose membranes enriched with eucalyptus globulus l...
Almeida, Tânia; Moreira, Patrícia; Sousa, Fábio J.; Pereira, Cláudia; Silvestre, Armando J. D.; Vilela, Carla; Freire, Carmen S. R.Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) membranes, with remarkable physical and mechanical properties, emerged as a versatile biopolymeric carrier of bioactive compounds for skin care applications. In this study, BNC membranes were loaded with glycerol (as plasticizer and humectant agent) and different doses (1–3 μg cm−2) of an aqueous extract obtained from the hydro-distillation of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. leaves (HD...
