Research area: Metal nanoparticles in antiageing.
The research focuses on the design of plant-based metal nanoparticles as senolytic agents. The potential of external mechanical forces to tune these nanoparticles, producing changes in substrate stiffness, consequently affecting cellular senescence, will be explored. Understanding the interplay between nanoparticle-mediated senolytic activity and mechanical stimulation may provide novel insights into ageing biology and lead to the development of innovative anti-ageing therapeutic approaches.
