Lysosomes as targets for cancer therapy (LYSOSOME)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
"Knowing that the lysosomes contain a powerful cocktail of hydrolases capable of digesting cells and entire tissues, it is obvious that the maintenance of lysosomal membrane integrity is of utmost importance for all cells, and especially for cancer cells with dramatically increased lysosomal activity. Yet, the mechanisms that regulate lysosomal membrane stability have remained obscure, largely due ...

Health consequences of noise exposure from road traffic (QUIET)
Date du début: 1 mars 2012, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
There is growing public concern about adverse effects of traffic noise on health, as research has found that traffic noise increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases. Noise is thought to act as a stressor and disturbs sleep. Though this potentially could increase the risk for other major diseases, noise effects on other than the cardiovascular diseases are virtually unexplored.The main objecti ...

Epidemiological study to quantify risks for paediatric computerized tomography and to optimise doses (EPI-CT)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
Diagnostic radiation represents an indispensable, sometimes life-saving, tool in modern medicine. However, the growing use of computerized tomography (CT) is a topic of concern in radiological protection, especially for children and adolescents. Children are generally more sensitive to the carcinogenic effects of ionizing radiation than adults. In addition, they have a longer life-span to express ...

Consortium on Health and Ageing: Network of Cohorts in Europe and the United States (CHANCES)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,
CHANCES aims at combining and integrating on-going cohort studies in order to produce evidence on ageing-related health characteristics and determinants in Europe, and their socio-economic implications. 15 cohorts participate, covering populations from 18 EU Member States, 4 associate countries, and 3 additional countries. The combination of these different studies would lead to an integrated appr ...

Collaborative Oncological Gene-environment Study (COGS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,
The overarching goal of COGS is to identify individuals with an increased risk of breast, ovary and prostate cancer. Furthermore, we will evaluate the effect of inherited genetic variation on tumour characteristics and clinical outcome. We will do this through quantifying the role of genetic and environmental/lifestyle risk in the largest data set ever generated. In all, we will include over 200,0 ...

European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,
"European policy making is hampered by considerable uncertainty about the magnitude and nature of the impacts of long term exposure to air pollution on human health. ESCAPE is a collaboration of more than 30 European cohort studies including some 900,000 subjects. It is aimed at quantifying health impacts of air pollution and at reducing uncertainty. ESCAPE will also test new hypotheses on specifi ...

Strategies for the protection of shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea against forthcoming attack by wood degrading marine borers. A synthesis and information project based on the effects of climatic changes (WreckProtect)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2011,
Today the Baltic sea is a brackish marine environment, enclosing a unique well preserved historical collection of wooden shipwrecks and settlements. These objects and constructions are protected from aggressive marine borer due to the low salinity in the waters, and therefore it is one of the few localities in the world where historical shipwrecks are found so intact and available for historical ...

Prospective cohort studies of children with substantial medical diagnostic exposure (CHILD-MED-RAD)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2009,
The growing use of diagnostic X-rays and of high-dose techniques (CT, interventions) in children and adolescents is a topic of concern in radiological protection. Studies of other populations indicate that children are generally more sensitive to health effects of radiation than adults. In addition, children have a longer life-span to express any radiation-related health effect and, because of the ...
