SubsidieMeestersSynthetic Cells for Functional Food Platforms
The project aims to develop large-scale synthetic cell nutritional supplements to enhance immune and neurological health in the elderly amid global food shortages.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Global food shortage together with economical stress poses a nutritional threat to various populations.
Impact on Elders
For elders, food shortage affects health and well-being and is directly associated with immune and neurological deficiencies.
Proposed Solution
Synthetic cells (SC) are lipid-based vesicles composed of essential fatty acids and loaded with immune-supporting vitamins and nutrients. They have been suggested as economical nutritional supplements that can be produced at large scale and integrated into generic food matrices to improve their nutritional value.
Research Program Objectives
In this research program, we propose to develop nourishing SC targeted to deficiencies of the immune and neurological systems, to support the aging body.
