THERAPEUTIC AND PREVENTIVE IMPACT OF NUTRITIONAL LIPIDS ON NEURONAL AND COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE IN AGING, ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND VASCULAR DEMENTIA (LIPIDIDIET)
Date du début: 1 août 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
Major objective: It is our aim to develop a lipid based diet that is able to delay or prevent onset of Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases and has a stabilizing effect on cognitive performance in aging. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that there is a large overlap between risk factor of these three diseases. Importantly, there is equally strong evidence that prevention and treatment of the ...

Therapeutic challenge in Leukodystrophies: Translational and ethical research towards clinical trials (LEUKOTREAT)
Date du début: 1 mars 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
Leukodystrophies (LDs) are inherited rare neurodegenerative diseases of the white matter and its main component, the myelin, that are affecting predominantly children. Severity of the disease is related to the axonal dysfunction due to myelin deficiency or destruction. Despite the achievement of remarkable advances made in the past decade, there is no current curative therapy. The development of t ...

Biochemically Equivalent Substitutive Technology for Stem Cells (BEST-Stem cells)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
Current technology to control embryonic and adult stem cell behaviour is dependent on conventional in vitro culture systems and crude factors such as serum and purified proteins, often sourced from vertebrate animal tissue. These factors contribute to variations in cell properties and differentiation potential which impact on the efficacy of cell culture. More worryingly these factors are potentia ...

International network for capacity building for the control of emerging viral vector borne zoonotic diseases (ARBO-ZOONET)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,
"West Nile Fever (WNF), Rift Valley Fever (RVF) and Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) are arthropod-borne diseases of different domestic and wild animals and can also affect humans, posing a great threat to public health because of their epidemic and zoonotic potential. Their geographical distribution has expanded in recent decades. WNF outbreaks have already occurred in Europe, CCHF is ende ...

Visual Impairment and Degeneration: A Road-map for Vision Research within Europe (EuroVisionNet)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2012,
The coordination project EuroVisionNet aims to link the research activities and policies of the European vision research community and to overcome the national fragmentation, therewith intends to become an essential “instrument” for vision research in the 21st century. To reach this goal the following 4 objectives will be addressed: (1) scientific integration of European vision research; (2) colla ...
