Transferrin Receptor 1-targeted polymersomes therapy for Colorectal Cancer Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the most common cancers and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The high mortality associated wi…

It’s OUT! 📢
I am thrilled to share our latest work on nanoparticles to target CRC 🎯
I’m incredibly proud of my team!
A big thank you to @becarios.bsky.social @lacaixa.bsky.social and @gimmfoundation.bsky.social for making this possible!

#acsnano | Giuseppe Battaglia Our latest work, published in #ACSNano and showcased in the issue cover, shows how to grow 2 nm gold nanoparticles inside polymersome membranes — not as decoration, but as engines. These tiny plasmoni...

Very happy to share our latest #ACSNano work!

Pregnancy’s true toll on the body: huge birth study paints most detailed picture yet Data from 300,000 births reveal how essential biological measurements are altered by carrying and delivering a baby.

Someone said, “Pregnancy looks like a temporary ‘disease,’ and actually, that could make sense: “These included several measures of liver function and cholesterol that took around six months to settle, and an indicator of bone and liver health, which took a year”

Our latest work is now available as a preprint! Targeting CRC with nanoparticles—it’s what we do! Soon…more to come!

Thanks to everyone involved and who contributed to this work! @beppebattaglia.bsky.social @luisgraca.bsky.social

We had opportunity to learn more about how the Ultrasound system can address our research questions! This is the heart of an aged mouse ;) but tumors can also be imaged…coo, right?

Microplastics are everywhere—including inside us. And that's not awesome, given that new research in mice finds they can mess up blood flow in the brain. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

(..)many countries, there are more postdocs than faculty positions available. This creates a bottleneck(..) Portugal is one example, with a poor science support system, ongoing government cuts to funding, and very few positions available each year in institutions!

Proposta para aumento do orçamento da FCT chumbada no Parlamento O partido Livre tinha apresentado uma proposta para transferir 70 milhões de euros para o orçamento da FCT – colmatando o corte de 68 milhões de euros no Orçamento do Estado.

Proposta do @partidolivre.pt
Votos contra do PSD, CDS e Chega
Abstenções PS e IL

Isto, apesar do aumento do investimento na Ciência ser defendido como prioritário pela maioria dos partidos

Hoje estará a votação uma outra proposta, do PCP.
Estaremos a ver
