Beta-cell function in juvenile diabetes and obesity (Beta-JUDO)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
The number of individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing. An alarming aspect is decline in age of onset of T2DM, which is coupled to rise in childhood obesity. Accentuated insulin secretion is observed early in young obese individuals. In many subjects insulin hypersecretion is evident when insulin sensitivity is essentially normal. Based on these observations we pr ...

Embryonic Stem cell-based Novel Alternative Testing Strategies (ESNATS)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
"ESNATS aims at developing a novel toxicity test platform based on embryonic stem cells (ESC), especially human ESC (hESC), to accelerate drug development, reduce R&D costs and propose a powerful alternative to animal tests (3 Rs). ESNATS will address current drug-testing shortcomings: - testing takes place late in the development cycle - animal test systems bear the risk of non-prediction due to ...

Neurotransmitter Cys-loop receptors: structure, function and disease (NeuroCypres)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2012,
Cys-loop receptors (CLRs) form a superfamily of structurally related neurotransmitter-gated ion channels, comprising nicotinic acetylcholine, glycine, GABA-A/C and serotonin (5HT3) receptors, crucial to function of the peripheral and central nervous system. CLRs cover a wide spectrum of functions, ranging from muscle contraction to cognitive functions. CLR (mal)function is linked to various disord ...
