In vitro and in vivo evaluation of silicon-based quantum dot nanoparticles

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 1 to 10 nm that show great promise for photonics, microelectronics, and fluorescent bio-imaging considering their ability to fluoresce from blue to near infrared light. In comparison to conventional quantum dots (which can release toxic metals), Si quantum dots are expected to be safer […]

Impact of environmental factors on spontaneous reporting trends and safety signal detection in the EudraVigilance database

Changes brought to the ecosystem and geopolitical environment can have an effect on several fields including the healthcare system. Recently, we observed the impact that COVID-19 pandemic has had on the healthcare workers’ practices and people’s behaviour regarding their health status. Changes in spontaneous reporting trends were also observed. Lately, Europe has also witnessed the […]

Screening DNA Methylation Signatures in Early Bovine In Vitro Embryos for Developmental Fitness

The success of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in overcoming infertility or improving livestock genetic traits is undeniable. However, the use of ART in livestock has also been associated with an increased likelihood of certain anomalies (e.g., large offspring syndrome, musculoskeletal anomalies) and neonatal mortality because of suboptimal culture conditions. Our partner, L’Alliance Boviteq (Semex) has […]

Non-Viral delivery of insulin and IL-10 to the intestine for immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes Year Two

There is increasing evidence suggesting a link exists between the gut immune system and several autoimmune diseases, including diabetes. The industrial partner of this project, enGene, has developed an effective non-viral based technology for the delivery of genes to the intestine. enGene has demonstrated the feasibility of delivering IL-10, which is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, to […]

Levage de charge vertical efficace à l’aide d’aéronefs à voilure fixe attachés par câbles et d’actionneurs magnétorhéologiques

Une approche alternative aux hélicoptères pour lever des charges est d’utiliser des aéronefs à voilure fixe autopilotés qui effectuent un vol circulaire au-dessus de la charge. Celle-ci peut donc être levée par les câbles liant la charge aux deux avions avec une efficacité dépassant cette des hélicoptères par un facteur 5. Le présent projet vise […]
