Elisabete Fernandes,Verónica C. Martins,Claudia Nobrega,Carla A. O. C. M. Carvalho,Filipe A. Cardoso,Susana Cardoso,Joana Dias,D. Deng,Leon Kluskens,Paulo P. Freitas,Joana Azeredo +10 more
TL;DR: This work presents and validates a novel bacteriophage (phage)-based microbial detection tool to detect and assess Salmonella viability and shows the phage selectivity in cell recognition minimizes false-negative and false-positive results often associated with most detection methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
New trends in guided nanotherapies for digestive cancers: A systematic review
Elisabete Fernandes,José Alexandre Ferreira,Peixoto Andreia,Lima Luis,Sérgio Barroso,Bruno Sarmento,Lúcio Lara Santos +6 more
TL;DR: All studies showed that active targeting improves the effectiveness of the nanodrugs alone, while lowering its side effects, so as to boost the field of guided nanopharmacology towards more effective solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of tumour-associated carbohydrate antigen sialyl-Tn in advanced bladder tumours.
José Alexandre Ferreira,Paula A. Videira,Luís Lima,Sofia A. Pereira,Mariana Silva,Mylène A. Carrascal,Paulo F. Severino,Paulo F. Severino,Elisabete Fernandes,Andreia Almeida,Céu Costa,Rui Vitorino,Teresina Amaro,Maria José Oliveira,Celso A. Reis,Celso A. Reis,Fabio Dall'Olio,Francisco Amado,Francisco Amado,Lúcio Lara Santos +19 more
TL;DR: Results indicate for the first time a link between STn expression and malignancy in bladder cancer, and therapies targeting STn may constitute new treatment approaches for these tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochemical Profile, Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of the Carob Tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) Germ Flour Extracts
Luísa Custódio,Ana Luisa Escapa,Elisabete Fernandes,Alba Fajardo,Rosa Aligué,Fernando Albericio,Nuno R. Neng,José M.F. Nogueira,Anabela Romano +8 more
TL;DR: The phytochemical content and the biological activities of the extracts were significantly affected by gender and cultivar, and female cultivar Galhosa had the highest levels of phenolic compounds, and the highest antioxidant activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein glycosylation in gastric and colorectal cancers: Toward cancer detection and targeted therapeutics
José Alexandre Ferreira,Ana Magalhães,Joana Gomes,Joana Gomes,Andreia F. Peixoto,Cristiana Gaiteiro,Elisabete Fernandes,Lúcio Lara Santos,Celso A. Reis +8 more
TL;DR: This review comprehensively summarizes the main findings related with gastrointestinal cancers and the decisive impact of aberrant glycosylation on tumor biology toward more aggressive phenotypes and addresses the tremendous potential of glycans in the context of targeted therapeutics.
