It’s OUT! 📢
I am thrilled to share our latest work on nanoparticles to target CRC 🎯
I’m incredibly proud of my team!
A big thank you to @becarios.bsky.social @lacaixa.bsky.social and @gimmfoundation.bsky.social for making this possible!

Someone said, “Pregnancy looks like a temporary ‘disease,’ and actually, that could make sense: “These included several measures of liver function and cholesterol that took around six months to settle, and an indicator of bone and liver health, which took a year”

Our latest work is now available as a preprint! Targeting CRC with nanoparticles—it’s what we do! Soon…more to come!

Thanks to everyone involved and who contributed to this work! @beppebattaglia.bsky.social @luisgraca.bsky.social

New paper from the lab! Want to know how we can target cancer cells with nanoprticles for therapy?

Congratulations @dilmatias.bsky.social !!! (and the rest I'm not sure if they are on BlueSky)

We had opportunity to learn more about how the Ultrasound system can address our research questions! This is the heart of an aged mouse ;) but tumors can also be imaged…coo, right?

Microplastics are everywhere—including inside us. And that's not awesome, given that new research in mice finds they can mess up blood flow in the brain. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

(..)many countries, there are more postdocs than faculty positions available. This creates a bottleneck(..) Portugal is one example, with a poor science support system, ongoing government cuts to funding, and very few positions available each year in institutions!

Today was a great day to LGraca Lab. My student, Ariana Pina successfully defended her dissertation! I am a proud supervisor! Well done, Ariana 👏🏻👏🏻 Let’s continue to build more success together!

Proposta do @partidolivre.pt
Votos contra do PSD, CDS e Chega
Abstenções PS e IL

Isto, apesar do aumento do investimento na Ciência ser defendido como prioritário pela maioria dos partidos

Hoje estará a votação uma outra proposta, do PCP.
Estaremos a ver
