Transfection Ability and Intracellular Pathway of LbL Nanostructured siRNA Delivery Systems (Nanosirna)
Start date: Jan 2, 2011, End date: Jan 1, 2014,
The scientific objective of the research carried out in this International Research Staff Exchange Scheme, is the development of a new technology to effectively deliver siRNA to cancer cells by the embedding of a polyplex into the multilayers and multifunctional nanocapsules. We propose to target pro-survival and anti-apoptotic factors in human cancer cells by using siRNA encapsulated into polyele ...

Three modality contrast imaging using multi-functionalized microballoons (3MICRON)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
In vivo multimodality imaging is a fast growing field in medical research and, although the achievements at clinical level of this diagnostic method are recent, it is already one of the most promising approaches in the diagnosis of diseases in many research addressed medical centres. At present in this area, the USA plays the protagonist role as a result of the amount of resources engaged in the a ...

Long-life PEM-FCH &CHP systems at temperatures higher than100°C (LOLIPEM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"The present proposal aims at the development of SPG&CHP systems based on Polymeric Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Hydrogen (PEMFCH). A drawback in the state-of-the-art systems is the too low operating temperatures (70-80°C) of PEMFCHs for cogeneration purposes. Operating temperatures above 100°C would have several advantages including easier warm water distribution in buildings, reduced anode poi ...

Development of a X-Ray tube based on the Field Emission properties of Carbon Nanotubes (NANORAY)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,
"NANORAY aims to realize an innovative device capable to generate X-rays by means of a novel concept of cold cathode, based on carbon nanotubes selectively grown upon ad-hoc synthesized nanostructures (such as vertically oriented nanotubes on metallic tips, selected deposition of CNTs on predetermined areas, array of oriented bundles, etc..) Its performances can be wrapped up by mentioning some of ...

Ultrasonic synthesis of oil-filled protein and polysaccharide microcapsules (SONOCAPS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2010,
"The scientific objective of the research carried out in this International Research Staff Exchange Scheme is the design and synthesis of a novel class of biodegradable microcapsules using the mild chemistry of polysaccharides and proteins, using ultrasound-induced polymerization of macromonomers. Ultrasound induced polymerization of monomers in solution and in emulsions has been widely used in t ...
