Bioprinting of nanoparticles for medical applications
Nanotechnology in medicine involves applications of nanoparticles for drug delivery and diagnostics. Funded by the EU, the SPACING project aims to develop innovative technology for pre-designing nanoparticles with specific 3D ligand configurations. This approach allows the printing of ligands on nanoparticles in any desired spatial arrangement, even that resembling virus capsids. Researchers will monitor the trafficking behaviour of these bio-inspired nanoparticles within cells and assess their potential to avoid lysosomal degradation in the same way as natural viruses. Overall, the SPACING technology is expected to...
