Design of polyPEPTIdes diblock copolymers as emulsifiers to produce safe, controlled and reliable novel stimuli-responsive nanoCAPSules for skin care applications (PEPTICAPS)
Start date: Oct 5, 2015, End date: Oct 4, 2018,
...s able to encapsulate efficiently and protect specific active ingredients for skin care application. Those nanocapsules will be assembled by nanoemulsion technique using amphiphilic and biocompatible polypeptides diblock copolymers with one hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) block and one hydrophobic polypeptide block. Adjustment of the length of each block to finely tune the hydrophilic/Lipophilic ...

Innovative Nanoformulation of Antimicrobial Peptides to Treat Bacterial Infectious Diseases (FORMAMP)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
Resistance to traditional antibiotics is a rapidly increasing problem that in a few years could make infections impossible to treat and bring the state of medical care back to the pre-antibiotic era from the beginning of the last century. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a huge potential as new therapeutics against infectious diseases as they are less prone to induce resistance due to their fast ...

Gastro-intestinal Peptides in Obesity (GIPIO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"Obesity is the fasted growing health problem in the Western World. In the United States, obesity as cause of preventable mortality (365,000 deaths in the year 2000) will soon overtake tobacco (435,000 deaths) and already has overtaken alcohol consumption (85,000 deaths), infectious diseases (75,000) and motor vehicle crashes (43,000). More important, it is also a problem in children and adolescen ...
