Imagine tiny natural bubbles from foods like berries that act as delivery trucks, carrying nutrients directly into your cells. These bubbles can survive the harsh environment of the stomach to improve gut health and fight obesity. Even better, these bubbles leave a unique signature in your sweat, allowing a simple skin sensor to tell you exactly how your diet is affecting your body.
Current nutritional monitoring is often invasive or imprecise, and many healthy compounds are destroyed during digestion before they can benefit the body.
A system of plant-derived nanovesicles for drug delivery and sweat-based biosensors for non-invasive health monitoring.
If you are a nutraceutical manufacturer dealing with low nutrient absorption in supplements — this project developed nutriEVs from raw and fermented foods that act as stable oral delivery systems. This allows for the creation of superfoods that deliver cargo more effectively to cells.
If you are a biosensor developer dealing with the need for non-invasive patient monitoring — this project developed sweat-based biosensors that detect unique molecular signatures of nutriEVs. This enables precision monitoring of metabolic health and obesity without blood draws.
If you are a drug delivery specialist dealing with gastrointestinal instability of oral drugs — this project developed plant-derived nanovesicles, such as those from cloudberries, that maintain stability in the gut. This provides a natural vehicle for targeted therapeutic delivery.
Based on available project data, specific costs or pricing for the developed biosensors and nanovesicles are not provided.
The project is currently investigating the acquisition and characterization of plant-derived nanovesicles; industrial scaling details are not yet specified in the provided data.
The project is strategizing for the commercialization of its outcomes, but specific patents or licensing terms are not listed in the current dataset.
The project runs from 2024-09-01 to 2028-08-31, with clinical trials planned to find significant results by the end of this period.
Integration occurs via non-invasive sweat-based biosensors that provide biomarkers for personalized dietary recommendations linked to obesity and gut inflammation.
The consortium consists of 5 partners across 5 countries (DE, DK, ES, FI, IT). It is heavily research-oriented with 3 universities and 1 research institute, while maintaining a 20% industry ratio with 1 industrial partner, indicating a transition from academic discovery to early commercial application.
