Does parental exposure to nanoplastics modulate the response of Hediste diversi...
Silva, M.S.S.; Oliveira, Miguel; Almeida, Helena; Vethaak, A. Dick; Martínez-Gómez, Concepción; Figueira, Etelvina; Pires, AdíliaPlastic pollution is a serious problem in aquatic systems throughout the world. Despite the increasing number of studies addressing the impact of macro- and microplastics on biota, there is still a significant knowledge gap regarding the effects of nanoplastics alone and in combination with other contaminants. Among the aquatic contaminants that may interact with nanoplastics is arsenic (As), a metalloid found ...

Multiscale multifactorial approaches for engineering tendon substitutes
Gonçalves, Ana I.; Rodrigues, Márcia T.; Matos, Ana M.; Almeida, Helena; Gomez-Florit, Manuel; Domingues, Rui Miguel Andrade; Gomes, Manuela E.The physiology of tendons and the continuous strains experienced daily make tendons very prone to injury. Excessive and prolonged loading forces and aging also contribute to the onset and progression of tendon injuries, and conventional treatments have limited efficacy in restoring tendon biomechanics. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) approaches hold the promise to provide therapeutic solutio...
