Metabolite-activated 3D stem cell differentiation into bone (Better Bone)

Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
Strategies involving mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) osteogenic differentiation have emerged as promising tools in regenerative medicine. These work by either promoting in situ regeneration, or through newly-fabricated tissue gra????s, potentially overcoming clinical complications related to more conventional therapies. However, bioengineered bone ti...

Molecular design of electrically conductive COFs as efficient electrodes for lithium batteries (ELECTROCOFS)

European ComissionCoordinator
Used to power electric vehicles and store renewable energy, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) can help reduce carbon emissions. However, LIBs are based on transition metal oxide cathodes. This means they have limited energy density, and it also raises environmental concerns. The EU-funded ELECTROCOFS project will explore organic materials as alternative e...

MXenes catalysts for the water gas shift reaction (ForTheShift)

Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
The ForTheShi???? project aims to put in place a computational framework to analyze the potential of a new family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, with general formula Mn+1XnTx (M is an early transition metal, n=1-5, X is C and/or N, and T are surface terminations as oxo, hydroxy, and/or fluoro groups), the so-calle...

New system-driven bioremediation of polluted habitats and environment (NYMPHE)

European ComissionPartner
Biological organisms, including the smallest, can play a big role in restoring polluted environments. They remove or neutralise an environmental pollutant from soil or water in a process called bioremediation. The EU-funded Nymphe project will take this process to a new level. Specifically, it will develop bioremediation/revitalisation strategie...
