Enhanced brown adipose tissue activity using nanotechnology approaches (nanoBAT)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2016, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2020,
The use of nanotechnology and nano-materials in biological applications is being widely explored and is considered a valuable approach to ameliorate human wellbeing. Specifically, nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are of great scientific interest as they are currently used clinically as delivery systems for a wide range of drugs. An interdisciplinary approach that considers knowledge in chemistry ...

Bio-scaffold engineered device for brown adipose tissue regeneration (SCAFFY)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2019,
Obesity and cardio-metabolic disease represent major health problems with vast impacts on the European healthcare systems. Recent advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine can be used to design novel techniques aiming to boost human metabolism; thus being promising candidates for human metabolic disease treatment. However, the development of these techniques requires the creation of ...

Intersectoral collaboration for innovation in non-invasive techniques to estimate human brown adipose tissue activity (ICI-THROUGH)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2014, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,
Non-invasive, inexpensive, and accurate assessment of adipose tissue (BAT) activity is crucial in the fight against metabolic pandemics such as obesity, and in various industries (e.g., foods, pharmaceuticals). However, the only technique available to measure the activity of this tissue is PET/CT imaging of the glucosetracer 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose , a highly invasive technique that is harmful for ...

IMPACT OF COLOSTRUM-BASED NEUTRACEUTICALS ON FUNCTIONAL GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS (GI-Neu)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
The aim of this proposal is to create a multiannual joint programme of collaboration between research-intensive non-commercial (academic) and commercial (industry) organisations to increase knowledge on the effects of colostrum-based neutraceuticals on functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). Functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome represent well-known issues, y ...
