Journal ArticleDOI
Polymeric nanoparticles: production, characterization, toxicology and ecotoxicology
Aleksandra Zielińska,Filipa Carreiró,Ana Oliveira,Andreia Neves,Bárbara Pires,D. Nagasamy Venkatesh,Alessandra Durazzo,Massimo Lucarini,Piotr Eder,Amélia M. Silva,Antonello Santini,Eliana B. Souto +11 more
TL;DR: The most commonly used methods for the production and characterization of polymeric NPs are discussed, the association efficiency of the active compound to the polymeric core, and the in vitro release mechanisms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Mitochondrial-Based Protective Effects of Resveratrol and Nicotinamide in Huntington’s Disease Models
Luana Naia,Tatiana R. Rosenstock,Ana Oliveira,Sofia I. Oliveira-Sousa,Gladys L. Caldeira,Catarina Carmo,Mário N. Laço,Michael R. Hayden,Catarina R. Oliveira,A. Cristina Rego +9 more
TL;DR: Overall, data indicate that activation of deacetylase activity by RESV improved gene transcription associated to mitochondrial function in HD, which may partially control HD-related motor disturbances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural immobilisation of microorganisms for continuous ethanol production
Cristina M. S. G. Baptista,João Cóias,Ana Oliveira,Nuno M.C. Oliveira,Jorge Rocha,M. J. Dempsey,Kevin C. Lannigan,Paul S. Benson +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared ethanol production by two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that were immobilized in polyurethane foam cubes in a fluidized-bed fermenter, and demonstrated that the productivity of the adhesive strain was higher than that of the non-adhesive one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors Protect Against Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Dysfunction in Huntington's Disease
Luana Naia,Teresa Cunha-Oliveira,Joana Rodrigues,Tatiana R. Rosenstock,Ana Oliveira,Márcio Ribeiro,Catarina Carmo,Sofia I. Oliveira-Sousa,Ana I. Duarte,Michael R. Hayden,A. Cristina Rego +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that HDACIs, particularly SB, promote the activity of PDH in the HD brain, helping to counteract HD-related deficits in mitochondrial bioenergetics and motor function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective effects of 3-alkyl luteolin derivatives are mediated by Nrf2 transcriptional activity and decreased oxidative stress in Huntington's disease mouse striatal cells.
Ana Oliveira,Susana M. Cardoso,Márcio Ribeiro,Raquel S. G. R. Seixas,Artur M. S. Silva,A. Cristina Rego +5 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that Lut-C6 luteolin derivative (in particular) might be relevant for the development of antioxidant strategies in HD.
