In the present work, alginate-based mats with and without ZnO nanoparticles were prepared via an electrospinning technique and subjected to a washing-cross-linking process to obtain highly stable products characterized by thin and homogeneous nanofibers with a diameter of 100 ± 30 nm. Using a commercial collagen product as control, the...

Collagen from marine sources is a very attractive alternative to bovine collagen. In biomedicine, several applications of collagens derived from sponges have been described, many of which from the demospongia Chondrosia reniformis. The production of these molecules in recombinant form would allow to obtain well-defined molecular types and to...

Composite chitosan-collagen nanofibrous mats embedded with curcumin were prepared via a single-step electrospinning procedure and explored as wound-healing patches with superior biological activity. A mild crosslinking protocol consisting of a short exposure to ammonia vapor and UV radiation was developed to ensure proper stability in...

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a manip- ulation of cellular behavior using non-abla- tive low intensity light sources. This manip- ulation triggers a cascade of metabolic effects and physiological changes resulting in improved tissue repair, of benefit in the treatment of tissue injury, degenerative or autoimmune diseases. PBM has witnessed an...

The majority of medicines come from natural resources, and in particular a great number of bioactive molecules (more than 10,000) have been isolated until now from the marine environment, with hundreds of new compounds still being discovered every year [1]. The richest sources of sea natural products are invertebrates with Porifera being the...
