- #researchIn the new review paper, "Transforming Cancer Treatment: The Potential of Nanonutraceuticals," Pedro Fonte and team explore the potential of #nanonutraceuticals to overcome traditional #chemotherapy_challenges and bring targeted, more effective treatment options to cancer patients. 💊 Nanonutraceuticals: Offering enhanced solubility, stability, and targeted delivery to improve bioavailability and precision in treatment. 🎯 Targeted Therapy: Ligand-coupled nanocarriers enable nutraceuticals to directly reach cancer cells, minimizing off-target effects. ⚖️ Synergistic Treatment: Co-administration with chemotherapeutic drugs in nanocarriers amplifies therapeutic impact. 📑 From Research to Practice: Covering patents and clinical trials advancing nanonutraceuticals toward practical cancer therapies. Special thanks to my amazing co-authors for their commitment: Dr. Girish kumar, Dr. Tarun Virmani, Vaishnavi Chhabra, Reshu Virmani, Kamla Pathak, Md Sayeed Akhtar, Mulazim Hussain Asim, Shumaila Arshad, Ph.D (PostDoc), Farzana Siddique.
- #projectNew funded project on Yeast Biology and Bioinformatics, in the framework of the OSCARS project platform 📣 A new project co-coordinated by Miguel Cacho Teixeira, at #iBB/Departamento de Bioengenharia (Instituto Superior Técnico) and by Pedro Monteiro, at INESC-ID, was just funded in the framework of the European Union OSCARS project (Open Science Cluster’s Action for Research & Society) platform.#Yeasts are vital organisms in both the #bioeconomy, e.g. through the industrial production of food, energy and commodities, and in health research, due to their role as pathogens and model organisms for studying genetics and disease 🧫. ✅ The #FAIRY project focuses on enhancing #YEASTRACT+, a widely used open-access #FAIR-sharing Knowledge-base and ELIXIR /BioData.pt service constructed in 2006, under the leadership of Isabel Sá-Correia in collaboration with INESC-ID, expanded ever since, and that supports research on yeast transcriptional regulation. ✅ The FAIRY project promotes #OpenScience principles to make yeast regulatory data in YEASTRACT+ more #FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), fostering global collaboration and accelerating discoveries in #yeast-based #biotechnology, sustainable #bioeconomy, and #humanhealth research.

#projectThe SPECTRUM project has officially launched in Lisbon, hosted by LNEG - Laboratorio de Energia. The project will develop #solar_collectors that make full use of the solar spectrum ☀ to produce #heat, #electricity, and #green_hydrogen, while also treating industrial #wastewater 💧. This combined approach supports European targets for #decarbonization, #energy efficiency, and sustainable #water_management. Project Partners:LNEG - Laboratorio de Energia MG Sustainable Engineering Imperial College London Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna Högskolan i GävleSolarus Renewables AB IST-ID ( at Instituto Superior Técnico)CIEMAT Belgium VoltAt IST-ID four research units—Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE), CERENA-Centro de Recursos Naturais e Ambiente, IN+, and iBB-Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences - are involved. At #iBB, Ana L., collaborating with colleagues from LNEG, CIEMAT, and the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna), will assess the #wastewater_treatment potential of the #photocatalysts developed in the project.

[PT] O 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝗢𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗯 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗹 desta semana é a levedura 𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘺𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘴 IST 724. Este tesouro é uma espécie de levedura basidiomiceta, assim como muitos cogumelos. Esta levedura em particular é caracterizada pela produção de pigmentos carotenoides, que conferem uma cor avermelhada às suas colónias. 𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘺𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘴 está presente em diversos ambientes naturais, sendo encontrada preferencialmente em plantas, como por exemplo nas suas folhas 🌿. 💡Esta estirpe de levedura foi isolada de uma cultura da alga marinha 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘢 J.Brodie & L.M.Irvine 1997 e possui aplicações biotecnológicas essenciais, uma vez que produz lípidos e enzimas de interesse industrial. Esta estirpe pertence à coleção de leveduras Técnico-CC do Instituto Superior Técnico , localizada no iBB-Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences.

𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘺𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘴 is a basidiomycete yeast, a group that also includes several mushrooms. This yeast is characterized by the production of carotenoid pigments that give a reddish color to its colonies. This species widely occurs in nature but is found preferentially associated with plants (i.e leaves🌿). It is therefore worth mentioning that this strain was isolated from a culture of the marine macroalgae 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘢 J.Brodie & L.M.Irvine 1997. 💡This yeast has essential biotechnological applications because it produces lipids and enzymes of industrial interest.
