OFFER DESCRIPTION

The main objective is the biological validation of two formulations based on nanosystems: one is designed and fabricated for the diagnosis of the atherosclerotic plaque with the risk to present clinical evidences; the other, for therapeutic purposes, is intended for the treatment/limitation of the evolution of the plaque.For the first part the activity will be based on photoacoustic nanoparticles, whereas the second part, polymeric nanoparticles loaded with monoclonal antibodies and externally
engineered with antibodies specific for markers of the early-state plaque will be used. These two nanosystems will be validated with in vivo imaging for the diagnostic purposes in ApoE-/- mice. Furthermore, in vitro studies on different cell lines (endothelial, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages) will be used for testing their
therapeutic potential
