This project proposes leveraging Late Embryogenesis Abundant Proteins (LEAPs) derived from resurrection plants as anti-aggregation agents for Amyloid \u03b2 peptides and \u03b1-Synuclein, key proteins implicated in AD and PD. Our preliminary data demonstrate that LEAP candidates inhibit amyloid aggregation in vitro, validated through advanced spectroscopic and imaging techniques. We aim to recombinantly produce LEAPs, elucidate their binding mechanisms, and develop LEA-mimetic peptides with enhanced therapeutic potential. Employing in vitro assays and AD\/PD-like C. elegans models, we will assess their anti-aggregation efficacy and cytotoxicity.

In addition, all proteins have the potential to be cross-linked, therefore by employing physical, chemical, and enzymatic treatments, proteins have innate benefits for hydrogel-forming. Amyloidal proteins are a category of programmable self-assembled macromolecules, and their assembly and owing to the programmability of the self-assembly of amyloidal structures, the consequent nanostructure can be manipulated rationally. Moreover, self-assembly allows the co-assembly of two or more types of building blocks, resulting in increasingly structurally complex nano-assemblies that may have physical and chemical properties distinct from those of the original mono-structures. Therefore, in the crosslinking-controlled strategy, by changing the nature and concentration of proteins, the resulting physical-chemical properties of amyloid-inspired hydrogel can be rationally tuned.

The Particle Environment Package (PEP) payload of this mission (http:\/\/sci.esa.int\/juice\/50073-science-payload ) was developed within a wide international collaboration led by Swedish Institute for Space Physics IRF in Kiruna. Due to limited available mass for efficient radiation shielding, the PEP payload will operate in rather unfavourable environment of penetrating energetic electrons that will affect the detection process inside the PEP\/JDC (Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition) sensor. To mitigate the unfavourable influence of the penetrating electron radiation to the plasma ions detection process, a concept of anti-coincidence module (ACM) has been identified within the PEP consortium.

SA has an indisputable importance in all fields of natural sciences, and has also a deep impact in social sciences (economics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, etc).Currently, one of the hot topics of the worldwide research is to design nanomaterials that are capable to assemble into functional superstructures in multiple directions. Besides the local ordering appearing spontaneously on the molecular level of SA materials, they may form micro\/macroscopic superstructures via the appearance of topological defects (TDs). These local singularities are universal in nature, having great importance in many fields including cosmology, nanophysics, materials science, and particle physics. TDs can trigger phase transitions, attract\/repulse each other, and trap foreign objects (particles). At the same time, particles dispersed in a SA matrix inevitably generate TDs around themselves. Therefore, in colloidal systems, a subtle interplay between micro\/nano-particles, SA matrix and TDs drives the self-organization process. In line with the TD driven SA investigations, the discovery of ferroelectric nematic phase (NF) in 2017 offers the possibility to create novel multiferroic liquids by doping NF with nanoparticles, which we also intend to explore.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.1.2025 &#8211; 31.12.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>RBS &#8211; Research on bulk superconductors<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>V\u00fdskum mas\u00edvnych supravodi\u010dov<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>Other<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>Ing.

Despite the distinct manifestations of thesedisorders, they share several common pathogenic mechanisms. Current pharmacological interventions areineffective. Moreover, the complexity of NDDs necessitates innovative therapeutic approaches. In this project, thenovel &quot;multi-target-directed ligands&quot; (MTDLs) strategy will be employed as it focuses on development of novelcompounds modulating multiple factors simultaneously. We will focus on Chinese herbs &#8211; Angelica sinensis,Ligusticum chuanxiong, and Cinnamomum cassia. The project aims to explore the anti-aggregation potential ofthese herbal extracts and their derivatives targeting both A\u03b2 peptide and \u03b1 -synuclein, showcasing neuroprotectiveand anti-inflammatory properties to pave the way for the development of novel t herapeutic strategies for NDDs.The project combines the expertise and experience of both research teams in the field of protein misfolding andNDDs pathology, allowing us to acquire complex data with the aid of complementary approaches, leading to thesuggestion of possible alternatives of therapy against these devastating diseases. Moreover, this collaborativeresearch partnership will present an excellent opportunity for both teams\\&#8217; young members to learn new techniquesin the well-equipped laboratories at East China University and IEP SAS and gain new experience by working in aninternational scientific environment.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.7.2024 &#8211; 30.6.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>LAMSoftMag &#8211; Laser Additive Manufacturing of Soft Ferromagnetic Metallic Glasses\/ Composites<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>Laserov\u00e1 adit\u00edvna v\u00fdroba magneticky m\u00e4kk\u00fdch kovov\u00fdch skiel\/kompozitov<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>Bilateral &#8211; other<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>RNDr. \u0160korv\u00e1nek Ivan, CSc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.7.2024 &#8211; 30.6.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>skQCI &#8211; skQCI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>skQCI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>Digital Europe Programme<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>RNDr. Skyba Peter, DrSc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project webpage:<\/td>\n<td><a href='https:\/\/skqci.qute.sk\/sk\/slovencina\/' target='_blank'>https:\/\/skqci.qute.sk\/sk\/slovencina\/<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.1.2023 &#8211; 30.6.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALCHyM &#8211; Investigation of Advanced Functional Materials based on Liquid Ctystals Sk\u00famanie pokro\u010dil\u00fdch funk\u010dn\u00fdch materi\u00e1lov na b\u00e1ze kvapaln\u00fdch kry\u0161t\u00e1lov Program: Bilateral &#8211; other Project leader:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":109,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/111"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":933,"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/111\/revisions\/933"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
