since 2001. During her scientific career, she built national and international scientific collaborations. She is an active researcher and the leader of her department laboratory (https://www.sbsc.unifi.it/vp-223-gruppo-degl-innocenti.html). She has strong, independent research experience, with an impact in the field, as demonstrated by several publications as a senior author in international, peer-reviewed journals. She is also a member of the Scientific Committee of the Interuniversity Center of Marine Biology and Applied Ecology (CIBM) of Livorno (Italy). In recent years, she has focused her research on the health role of natural and marine compounds. She studied the amyloid aggregation process and potential inhibitory mechanisms of natural compounds and the extract of Mediterranean red seaweed. Prof. Degl'Innocenti has also studied the biological properties of extracts obtained from the leaves of the Posidonia oceanica (L.)Delile marine plant, focusing on these extracts' role in pathophysiological cellular processes, such as inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as on cancer cell migration and protein glycation processes.

Naturally occurring biological entities with extractable and tunable structural and functional characteristics, along with therapeutic attributes, are of supreme interest for strengthening the twenty-first-century biomedical settings. Irrespective of ongoing technological and clinical advancement, traditional medicinal practices to address and manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are inefficient and the effect of the administered therapeutic cues is limited. The reasonable immune response or invasion should also be circumvented for successful clinical translation of engineered cues as highly efficient and robust bioactive entities. In this context, research is underway worldwide, and researchers have redirected or regained their interests in valorizing the naturally occurring biological entities/resources, for example, algal biome so-called “treasure of untouched or underexploited sources”. Algal biome from the marine environment is an immense source of excellence that has also been demonstrated as a source of bioactive compounds with unique chemical, structural, and functional features. Moreover, the molecular modeling and synthesis of new drugs based on marine-derived therapeutic and biological cues can show greater efficacy and specificity for the therapeutics. Herein, an effort has been made to cover the existing literature gap on the exploitation of naturally occurring biological entities/resources to address and efficiently manage IBD. Following a brief background study, a focus was given to design characteristics, performance evaluation of engineered cues, and point-of-care IBD therapeutics of diverse bioactive compounds from the algal biome. Noteworthy potentialities of marine-derived biologically active compounds have also been spotlighted to underlying the impact role of bio-active elements with the related pathways. The current review is also focused on the applied standpoint and clinical translation of marine-derived bioactive compounds. Furthermore, a detailed overview of clinical applications and future perspectives are also given in this review.

In this study, antimicrobial plasticized poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films by incorporating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and methenamine (MA) were prepared by solvent casting method. We investigated the effects of different concentrations of MA on the antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) which were types of gram‐negative and gram‐positive bacteria in turn. It was determined that as the rate of MA in the PLA/PEG film enhanced, its antimicrobial activity against both bacteria also increased. As a result, the maximum inhibitory effect for E. coli was seen in MA5, MA8, and M10 films, and it reduced the bacterial population by 100%. In S. aureus, the high inhibition effect was seen in the MA8 film, and it reduced the bacterial population by 95%. Moreover, as the MA concentration increases, the thermal stability of PLA/PEG films increases and approaches the thermal decomposition temperature of neat PLA. The incorporation of 0.5% MA to this system caused a significant increase in elongation at break values. It is concluded that a minimum concentration of MA is sufficient for high flexibility compared with pure PLA. These MA containing PLA/PEG composite films have potential applications as biodegradable flexible packaging materials.
