- This paper advances the state of the art by showing that nanofibres of sodium alginate encapsulating lavender essential oil are effective for the treatment of skin inflammations. This work has attracted the attention of the Head of Institute of Biomaterials at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany). This resulted in an invited talk (https://www.biomat.tf.fau.eu/2020/06/02/seminar-series-at-the-institute-of-biomaterials-dr-elise-mele-loughborough-university-invited-speaker/). The results of the work have also interested the company Jellagen Marine Biotechnologies and a collaborative project is ongoing.
