Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmania-Infected MHC Class IIhigh Dendritic Cells Polarize CD4+ T Cells toward a Nonprotective T-bet+ IFN-γ+ IL-10+ Phenotype
Mariana Resende,Diana Moreira,Jorge Augusto,Joana Cunha,Bruno Miguel Neves,Bruno Miguel Neves,Maria Teresa Cruz,Jérôme Estaquier,Jérôme Estaquier,Anabela Cordeiro-da-Silva,Ricardo Silvestre +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CD4+ T cells primed by infected DCs in an IL-10 free system, thus deprived of T-bet+IFN-γ+IL-10+ population, restore the immune response and reduce parasite load, supporting a deleterious role of IFN- δ-IFN + T cells in the maintenance of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Analgesic Activities of Agrimonia eupatoria L. Infusion
Telmo N Santos,Gustavo Costa,J Pinto Ferreira,Joana Liberal,Joana Liberal,Vera Francisco,António Paranhos,Maria Teresa Cruz,Miguel Castelo-Branco,I Vitória Figueiredo,M Teresa Batista +10 more
TL;DR: Both AeI and mainly AePF (Ae polyphenolic fraction) showed a significant antiradical activity against all tested radicals in vitro and in vivo, and decreased NO levels in vitro, AePF being more active than AeI.
Journal ArticleDOI
New compounds, chemical composition, antifungal activity and cytotoxicity of the essential oil from Myrtus nivellei Batt. & Trab., an endemic species of Central Sahara
Amel Bouzabata,Ophélie Bazzali,Célia Cabral,Maria José Gonçalves,Maria Teresa Cruz,Ange Bighelli,Carlos Cavaleiro,Joseph Casanova,Lígia Salgueiro,Félix Tomi +9 more
TL;DR: It was possible to find appropriate doses of Myrtus nivellei oil with both antifungal activity and very low detrimental effect on keratinocytes, thus justifying and reinforcing the use of this plant in traditional medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition of Crithmum maritimum L. essential oil and hydrodistillation residual water by GC-MS and HPLC-DAD-MS/MS, and their biological activities
Jorge M. Alves-Silva,Inês Guerra,Maria José Gonçalves,Carlos Cavaleiro,Maria Teresa Cruz,Artur Figueirinha,Lígia Salgueiro +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the essential oil and the hydrodistillation residual water of Crithmum maritimum L. (sea fennel), a highly aromatic plant widely used in many European countries and highlight the bioactive potential of both products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unveiling the Antifungal Potential of Two Iberian Thyme Essential Oils: Effect on C. albicans Germ Tube and Preformed Biofilms
Melissa Alves,Maria José Gonçalves,Mónica Zuzarte,Jorge M. Alves-Silva,Carlos Cavaleiro,Maria Teresa Cruz,Lígia Salgueiro +6 more
TL;DR: This study validates the traditional uses ascribed to these Iberian species and brings new insights on the antifungal potential and mechanism of action of these thyme species, thus paving the way for the development of novel effective antIFungal drugs.
