We are glad to share some good news to start the new academic year; after a long revision process, the paper “Bacterial Nanocellulose and Titania Hybrids: Cytocompatible and Cryopreservable Cell Carriers” has been accepted for publication.

Nanomaterials have unique biological reactivity that need to be thoroughly investigated. In this context, the use of simple in vivo models to biologically evaluate nanoparticles is currently in increasing demand as they offer low-cost and information-rich experiments. In this work, we evaluated how surface modification (citrate and protein-coated) of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles induces changes in their toxicological profile and biodistribution using the animal model Caenorhabditis elegans and combining techniques from materials science and biochemistry.
The N&N group participates in the @NextGEM_eu project, for which we prepared this video explaining how we work with c.elegans. 🪱
👉 Dr. @PolAlonso1 explains how we use these nematodes and why they are useful for assessing biological effects.
