A new CiQUS study published in ACS Nano evaluates the behavior of cyclic peptide nanotubes to transport water across the cell membrane.
CiQUS researchers design a strategy that allows the delivery of antibodies inside the cell without damaging its membrane.
CiQUS researchers design a new treatment conducted in mice to prevent memory deterioration without undesirable side effects. Results of this preclinical study has now been published in ACS Nano.
This study results of collaboration between different groups at the centre and has now been published and highlighted in the front cover of the renowned journal Angewandte Chemie Int. Edition.
CiQUS will be involved in REAP, a newly European project to reveal drug tolerant persister cells by contrast enhanced multimodal optical imaging. BioNanoTools, the group led by Beatriz Pelaz, will develop contrast agents capable of identifying these cells.
USC-CiQUS researcher María Giménez-López in collaboration with CIDETEC have received a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council (ERC). The project will improve the development of new rechargeable zinc-air batteries. It is the fourth ERC-Proof of Concept obtained in CiQUS and the sole grants in this category to date in Galicia.
