The IVECAT Research Group led by Dr. Francesc Borràs (IVECAT) is interested in studying the function of extracellular vesicles (exosomes) and their biotechnological applications in the treatment of renal and metabolic diseases, in regenerative processes, as well as their use as biomarkers. Our laboratory is located in the Germans Trias I Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), […]
Read MoreIn this study, the group of Pilar Martín-Duque showed that a nanoscale vector based on ultrasmall PtNPs and exosomes exhibits antitumoral properties comparable or higher to those of the FDA approved cisplatin. They demonstrated their anticancer properties both in vitro and in vivo comparing the results obtained with the administration of equivalent amounts of cisplatin, […]
