FORTIFy: ERC Project on Tendon Regeneration Led by Rui Domingues

July 15, 2025

A new video is now available to introduce FORTIFy, a project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and led by Rui Domingues, Group Leader at INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory.

FORTIFy aims to develop wireless nanoswitches to control PIEZO channels—specialised cell force sensors—to restore tendon function. By advancing tools to probe mechanobiology in human tissues, the project opens new possibilities for treating tendinopathy and related disorders.

Watch the video to learn more about the scientific approach and goals of the FORTIFy project.
