Biomolecular Hydrogels – from Supramolecular Organization and Dynamics to Biological Function (JELLY)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2017,
Certain proteins and glycans self-organize in vivo into soft and strongly hydrated, dynamic and gel-like supramolecular assemblies. Among such biomolecular hydrogels are the jelly-like matrix that is formed around the egg during ovulation, mucosal membranes, slimy coats produced by bacteria in biofilms, and the nuclear pore permeability barrier.Even though biomolecular hydrogels play crucial roles ...

Colonic Disease Investigation by Robotic Hydro-colonoscopy (CODIR)
Date du début: 1 août 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
"CODIR proposes a new configuration of fundamental and applied biomedical and engineering multidisciplinary research to explore and characterise colon behavior necessary for the project and wider objectives. Scope and focus is on novel robotic hydro-colonoscopy (RHC), which stems from two considerations: (i) replacement of the flexible colonosocope with a patient-friendly system for inspection of ...

"Nuclease Immune Mediated Brain and Lupus-like conditions (NIMBL): natural history, pathophysiology, diagnostic and therapeutic modalities with application to other disorders of autoimmunity" (NIMBL)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
"Nuclease Immune Mediated Brain and Lupus-like (NIMBL) conditions, comprising Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome, Retinal Vasculopathy with Cerebral Leukodystrophy and some cases of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, are devastating genetic disorders resulting in greatly reduced quality of life, high mortality especially in children, and significant risks of recurrence within affected families. NIMBL condition ...

Unraveling the molecular mechanism of nitrosative stress resistance in tuberculosis (NOstress)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
Tuberculosis is today amongst the major worldwide health threats. Treatment failure is unfortunately becoming more usual, especially in countries lacking the long and costly treatment adapted to patients. Thus, tuberculosis causes 2 million deaths every year and latently persists in over 1 billion individuals worldwide. Current treatments are challenged by multidrug resistant strains, drug side ef ...
