Biomarker Development for Postoperative Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly (BioCog)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
Postoperative delirium (POD) is characterized by the progressive deterioration of sensory/cognitive function after surgery with incidences of up to 30-80%. It is frequently followed by postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) which tends to persist over time. In elderly patients, POCD resembles chronic dementia and appears to accelerate the cognitive decline in Alzheimer dementia. POD is strongl ...

Human cystic Echinococcosis ReseArch in CentraL and Eastern Societies (HERACLES)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
Human cystic echinococcosis (CE), one of the most widespread helminthic zoonoses, is a chronic disease caused by infection with the larval stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. This disease is highly endemic in some southern (Spain and Italy), eastern (Bulgaria and Romania) European countries and associated (Turkey) countries, where it still represents a major health and economic problem. ...

Targeting novel lipid pathways for treatment of cardiovascular disease (Athero-Flux)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
Lipid lowering has significantly reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in EU. However, the aim to abolish CVD in EU is far from achieved and attempts to improve on the benefits of statins with new agents have not yet delivered new therapeutics. The Consortium Athero-Flux builds on FP7-generated large-scale lipidomics data showing that specific sphingolipids and in particular distinct cer ...

Targeting and exploiting B cell functions for treatment in cardiovascular disease (Athero-B-Cell)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and morbidity is predicted to increase in Europe and worldwide in the next decades due to aging and the rise of diabetes and obesity. The link between metabolic and inflammatory disease is getting stronger, raising hopes for novel therapeutic targets to be exploited clinically. Clinical evidence generated by the Academic partners of the Athero-B-Cell Consorti ...

A Unified Approach to Evaluating Cellular Immunotherapy in Solid Organ Transplantation (THE ONE STUDY)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
Preventing immunological rejection of transplanted organs without the need for long-term use of pharmacological immunosuppression is a primary objective in transplantation medicine. Reducing the need for immunosuppression would dramatically improve the outcome for transplant recipients and reduce health costs for society. The means to achieve this goal has not been realised with pharmacological or ...

Personalized minimization of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation by biomarker-driven stratification of patients to improve long-term outcome and health-economic data of transplantation (BIO-DrIM)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
Organ transplantation has emerged as the “gold standard” therapy for end-stage organ failure. Incomplete control of chronic allograft injury but also the adverse effects of long-term immunosuppression (IS) continue to challenge the long-term success of transplantation. The paradigm is shifting from increasing “net”-IS by novel drugs to the concept of minimizing long-term IS as early as possible. H ...

Advanced Immunization Technologies (ADITEC)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
Vaccines so far have been developed mostly by following an empiric approach. To prevent and possibly cure unresolved and emerging infectious diseases we need to fully exploit the potential of the human immune system. Progress in science and technology makes it possible to achieve what was previously deemed impossible. The scope of this project is to produce knowledge necessary to develop novel and ...

Integrating chemical approaches to treat pancreatic cancer: making new leads for a cure (Panacreas)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) causes 34000 deaths in the EU every year. Conventional cancer treatments have close to no impact on this disease. As a result, almost all patients diagnosed with PDAC develop metastases and eventually die. Given this poor outlook, the search for new therapeutics is mandatory. These will have to target relevant cancer pathways and be designed based on the ava ...

TargetIng novel MEchanisms of Resolution in inflammation (TIMER)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Resolution of inflammation is a key determinant of pathology, and an active process which involves diverse pathways and molecules. The general objective of the TIMER Consortium is to identify and validate new molecules involved in the resolution of inflammation as a basis for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The project will invo ...

Targeting Src-family tyrosine kinases in chronic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (TARKINAID)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The project aims to develop novel inhibitors of chronic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by targeting members of the Src tyrosine kinase family. Src-family kinases have recently emerged as major therapeutic targets in malignant diseases but their suitability as potential targets of inflammatory diseases has not yet recieved widespread acceptance. On the other hand, members of the applicant con ...

"Fungi in the setting of inflammation, allergy and autoimmune diseases:Translating basic science into clinical practices" (ALLFUN)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2014,
"The ALLFUN proposal aims at defining the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which ubiquitous airborne or commensal fungi contribute to immune homeostasis and its dysregulation leading to allergy and inflammatory diseases. Breakthroughs in understanding how mucosal homeostasis is established, maintained or disrupted in the presence of fungi should be sources of new therapeutic targets and drugs ...

Set up and comparison of multiple stem cell approaches for kidney repair (STAR-T REK)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,
"With the increasing rate of end-stage renal failure and limited alternatives for its treatment, potential regenerative approaches for kidney damages are urgently needed. Because of the complexity of the organ, the development of stem cell therapies for kidney is still in its infancy. Identifying which cell types are capable of beneficial effects is the critical step required to realize the potent ...

Development of carbon monoxide releasing molecules for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (CORMRA)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,
"The project will focus on the pre-clinical development of carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Carbon monoxide (CO) has been shown, by several renowned laboratories around the world, to have a number of anti-inflammatory properties which turn it into an exceptionally promising compound against chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA. In its ...
