A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
CUBIBOX is a technological platform able to generate complex biological tissues of human origin, to be used for in vitro testing of drug screening, biocompatibility of materials, efficacy of drugs, cosmetics and molecules of interest. The models were...
It is known that SARS-CoV-2 virus can enter the body also through the eyes, especially in individuals suffering from dry eye syndrome. In these individuals, the virus initially causes conjunctivitis, which may potentially progress to the typical...
The characterization of the mutational asset and transcriptional deregulation of hematopoietic stem cells of patients with myelofibrosis, through genomic and transcriptomic analysis at the single cell level, is one of the projects of the CIDSTEM...
Inhalable powder combining a local anaesthetic with a hydrophilic biocompatible polymer able to induce prolonged cough suppression
The powder is composed of microparticles suitable for the deposition in the upper airways where the cough receptors are...
Automatic monitors analyzing atmospheric particulate allow to verify air quality in indoor and outdoor environments, to assess the exposure of the population to pollutants in different living environments, to identify the cause-effect relationships...
Micro-valves are basic components of microfluidic systems as they allow fluids to be conveyed, exchanged and controlled. These devices may be either connected on a platform with microfluidic channels or integrated within more complex microfluidic...
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary sector of biotechnologies which paves the way for new treatment options and better quality of life for patients. Tissue engineering techniques entail the use of biomaterials and scaffolds that must meet...
The use of three-dimensional supports (scaffolds) as a guide to cellular growth in culture, fosters considerable hopes in the field of regenerative medicine. The electrospinning technology makes it possible to produce nanofibrous scaffolds able to...
In innovative-design automatic machines, the motion laws of the end-effectors (EEs) may be varied by programming motion profiles imposed by electrical drives. However, EEs normally have one degree of freedom only and cannot change the type of...
An innovative drug release system based on a modular technology has been developed at the University of Parma. The release modules, consisting in tablets or polymeric matrices, have been prepared to be assembled in a single structure, forming the...
