REpurposing lung Surfactant Protein B for Inhalation therapy with RNA therapeutics Ghent University
RNA therapeutics have the potential to revolutionise medicine, but efficient nanotechnology-based strategies are required for their delivery inside cells. The EU-funded RESPIRNA project proposes to repurpose the lung surfactant protein B (SP-B), a key component of pulmonary surfactant, for intracellular RNA delivery. Researchers will investigate the mechanism of action of SP-B and optimise its utilisation for RNA therapeutics. Deliverables ...

EU-China joint action to increase development and adoption of IPM tools Ghent University
The continuous stream of invasive agricultural pests and chronic re-emergence of key ones prompt for implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tools, but often main management methods rely largely on chemical pesticides. However, their widespread use is highlighted as a key threat to human health and wildlife. Much progress made in the conception of IPM tools in the past decade however, despite EU and Chinese policies prompting use ...
Innovative tools for rational control of the most difficult-to-manage pests ("SuperPests") and the diseases they transmit Ghent University
Among the most acute challenges that many producers of fruit and vegetable crops currently face are a subset of arthropod pest species - namely aphids, whiteflies, thrips and mites - that are extremely difficult to control (the "super pests"). These issues have been caused, in part, by the over reliance on synthetic insecticides and novel methods of control are urgently required. The SuperPests project aims to meet this need by developing ...
