NanoAthero
"Smart" biodegradable nanoparticles for site-specific treatment of atherosclerosis
NANOATHERO project, characterized by an interdisciplinarity, aims to the exploitation of Nanotechnology tools in order to overcome the limitation of existing cardiovascular approaches.
The main idea of "NanoAthero" is to use an Interdisciplinary methodology based on its applications Nanotechnology with Nanoparticles (NS) as transport vehicles drugs for targeted treatment of atherosclerotic plaques reducing the number of heart attacks; So, innovative approaches will be introduced to the fight against atherosclerosis, such as:
- Nanomedicine for the treatment of vulnerable plaques from smart biodegradable NS that penetrate the endothelium, reach the molecular targets within the plate and release drugs in a controlled manner.
- Innovative technologies for nano-plastic development transport of anti-inflammatory or antioxidant drugs for clinical applications .
