Journal ArticleDOI
Redox regulation of cutaneous inflammasome by ozone exposure.
Francesca Ferrara,Erika Pambianchi,Alessandra Pecorelli,Brittany Woodby,Nicolo’ Messano,Jean-Philippe Therrien,Mary Ann Lila,Giuseppe Valacchi,Giuseppe Valacchi,Giuseppe Valacchi +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that O3 can activate cutaneous inflammasome in a redox dependent manner suggesting a possible role of this new pathway in pollution induced inflammatory skin conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive effect of combined pollutants to UV induced skin OxInflammation damage. Evaluating the protective topical application of a cosmeceutical mixture formulation.
Francesca Ferrara,Francesca Ferrara,Brittany Woodby,Alessandra Pecorelli,Maria Lucia Schiavone,Erika Pambianchi,Nicolo’ Messano,Jean-Philippe Therrien,Hina Choudhary,Giuseppe Valacchi,Giuseppe Valacchi +10 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to investigate the combined effects of three of the most harmful outdoor stressors on human skin and suggests that daily topical application may prevent pollution-induced skin damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethosomes and Transethosomes for Mangiferin Transdermal Delivery.
Maddalena Sguizzato,Francesca Ferrara,Supandeep Singh Hallan,Anna Baldisserotto,Markus Drechsler,Manuela Malatesta,Manuela Costanzo,Rita Cortesi,Carmelo Puglia,Giuseppe Valacchi,Giuseppe Valacchi,Giuseppe Valacchi,Elisabetta Esposito +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, ethosomes and transethosomes were designed as topical delivery systems for mangiferin, which is a natural glucosyl xanthone with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, making it suitable for protection against cutaneous diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations of mitochondrial bioenergetics, dynamics, and morphology support the theory of oxidative damage involvement in autism spectrum disorder.
Alessandra Pecorelli,Francesca Ferrara,Francesca Ferrara,Nicolo’ Messano,Valeria Cordone,Maria Lucia Schiavone,Maria Lucia Schiavone,Franco Cervellati,Brittany Woodby,Carlo Cervellati,Joussef Hayek,Giuseppe Valacchi,Giuseppe Valacchi,Giuseppe Valacchi +13 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that many of the changes observed in mitochondria could represent compensatory mechanisms by which ASD cells try to adapt to altered energy demand, possibly resulting from a chronic oxinflammatory status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticulate Gels for Cutaneous Administration of Caffeic Acid.
Maddalena Sguizzato,Paolo Mariani,Francesca Ferrara,Markus Drechsler,Supandeep Singh Hallan,Nicolas Huang,Fanny Simelière,Nikul Khunti,Rita Cortesi,Nicola Marchetti,Giuseppe Valacchi,Elisabetta Esposito +11 more
TL;DR: The antioxidant effect of caffeic acid loaded in nanoparticulate gel has been demonstrated by ex-vivo evaluation on human skin explants exposed to cigarette smoke, suggesting a protective role exerted by the nanoparticles.
