Labion is working on a project regarding the development of a diagnostic and monitoring tool based on Raman spectroscopy combined with silver nanoparticles. This biophotonic-based platform is able to provide information regarding the onset of Alzheimer's disease and about the neurological tissue degeneration caused by the pathological progression. Labion has now published these findings that are opening the...

Il LABION è lieto di accogliere Arianna Iannone, studentessa di biotecnologie che ha scelto di svolgere il suo tirocinio per la laurea magistrale presso il nostro laboratorio. Il progetto su cui lavorerà Arianna è finalizzato all’utilizzo di una piattaforma di biofotonica per l’identificazione e la caratterizzazione di vescicole extracellulari in pazienti affetti da malattia di...

Last week, Labion was present at the 2nd Brainstrorming Research Assembly for Young Neuroscientists, Brayn2019, in Milan at Mario Negri institute. It was a very wide and interesting scientific programme that linked together different research fields in the area of neuroscience, including neural plasticity, neuroinflammation, neuro-oncology, perinatal neurology and neurodegeneration both from therapeutic and diagnostic...

Labion was present at the first Symposium of the Italian Society for Extracellular Vesicles (EVIta) in Palermo. The symposium brought together italian excellence in the study of extracellular vesicles in the areas of neuroscience, biomarkers, cancer, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, liquid biopsy, immunology and epigenetics.

The meeting was a good opportunity for...

This year, the Symposium on Regenerative Rehabilitation took place in Charlottesville, Virginia on October 24-26 as a co-hosted effort by the University of Virginia and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Dr. Bedoni and Dr. Picciolini attended the interesting Symposium that is an intersection of basic scientists, clinicians and physical therapists to...

Last week Dr. Cristiano Carlomagno represented LABION at FIB (International Forum on Biophotonics) at San Paolo, Brazil. The forum at its 5th edition has been contributing for years to the exchange of knowledge on the biophotonic field among Brazil and expert representatives from abroad, with the aim to share experiences and discuss cooperation and collaboration...

For the second year, we participate at Meet Me Tonight in Milan. Together with other 6 labs from Fondazione Don Gnocchi we organized different sessions in 2 days to talk about our life of researchers! We proposed also activities for young students explaining them the world of the "extracellular vesicles" through funny laboratory experiments! Thanks for coming,...
