Enhancement of eCB-MSC Cryorecovery

Our research project aims to preserve the post-thaw viability and functionality of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from equine cord blood (eCB-MSCs). The project addresses the challenge posed by asynchronous culture paired with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-based cryopreservation, which may lead to cryoinjury, batch variability, and reduced therapeutic effectiveness. By investigating a novel DMSO-free cryoprotective agent […]

Non-invasively guided ultrasound hyperthermia mediated treatment of cancers in vivo using drug-loaded temperature sensitive liposomes

Chemotherapy uses drugs to treat cancer, but often causes significant side effects as the drug can spread throughout the body and affect healthy tissues as well. These side effects can be reduced by capturing drugs into nanoparticles such as liposomes that can enter tumors directly, but are too large to accumulate in healthy tissues. However, […]

AMH, predictive tool of ovarian response to a superovulation treatment in the cow

In dairy cows, future generations are created by embryo transfer techniques, which entail a superovulation treatment followed by fertilization in the field or in the laboratory. Due to enormous pressure exerted by breeders, cows are now superovulated very young, even before puberty and thereafter are superovulated routinely. Despite improvements in this technique, there is still […]

Autonomous Landing and Recharging of Indoor UAVs

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to carry out tasks of increased complexity, expanding in indoor environments such as warehouses and healthcare settings. However, indoor environments impose unique challenges to UAVs as the enclosed space is relatively small and safety is crucial for people working in the same space. Furthermore, the unavailability of GPS leads […]
