Invitation to submitmanuscripts for a Special Issue of Pharmacological Reports:
Pharmacological Reports is inviting manuscripts for a special issue addressing "Energy metabolism in the physiology and pathology of the central nervous system", guest-edited by Dr Katarzyna Głombik (Department of ExperimentalNeuroendocrinology IF PAS) and dr hab. Katarzyna Kuter-Nowak (Department of Neuropsychopharmacology IF PAS). Detailed information is available at https://www.springer.com/journal/43440/updates/20024462

Maj
Institute of Pharmacology Polish Academy of Sciences is a consortium member of the
GRIEG research project entitled „Theranostic nanocarriers for drug delivery in
central nervous system disorders” funded under the Norwegian Financial
Mechanism 2014 – 2021. Prof. Piotr Warszyński from Jerzy Haber Institute of
Catalysis and Surface Chemistry PAS is the leader of the project. Apart from IP
PAS (Department of Experimental Neuroendocrinology, WP leader Prof. Władysław
Lasoń)), other project partners include The Henryk Niewodniczański Institute of
Nuclear Physics PAS, SINTEF AS (Trondheim)
and Oslo University Hospital. The main
project objective is to develop a new strategy to deliver neuroprotectants by
applying biocompatible theranostic nanocarriers, traceable in vivo by MRI, which can cross the blood-brain barrier without
imposing side effects on its normal function. Application of such neuroprotective
nanocarriers can be the solution for future therapies of stroke and
neurodegenerations like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
