Performance testing, calibration and implementation of a next generation system-of-systems Risk Governance Framework for nanomaterials (caLIBRAte)
Date du début: 1 mai 2016, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2019,
The objective of the caLIBRAte project is to establish a state-of-the-art versatile Risk Governance framework for assessment and management of human and environmental risks of MN and MN-enabled products. The framework will be a web-based “system-of-systems” linking different models and methods for: 1) screening of apparent and perceived risks and trends in nanotechnology, 2) control banding, quali ...

MicroRNAs in the Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention of Epilepsy (EPIMIRNA)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
Epilepsy is a major burden for patients and health systems worldwide. It is a common chronic neurological disorder affecting people of all ages, and the shortfall in existing treatments means that 30% of patients continue to suffer uncontrolled seizures. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a recently-discovered, network-level layer of gene expression regulation that controls protein levels of entire signaling p ...

A radical approach for improved glaucoma treatment (Oculus)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
Open angle glaucoma (OAG) is the second leading cause of world blindness. Treatments involving topically applied pressure-reducing medications or surgery targeting ocular drainage channels are effective, although significant complications exist. We propose to address the hypothesis that it is possible to develop a radical approach to management of intraocular pressure employing an AAV-mediated sys ...

OPERATIONALISATION OF NATURAL CAPITAL AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES: FROM CONCEPTS TO REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS (OPENNESS)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
Despite improved understanding of the links between ecosystem health, provision of ecosystem services and human well-being, further conceptual and empirical work is needed to make the ideas of ecosystem services (ESS) and natural capital (NC) operational. OpenNESS will therefore develop innovative and practical ways of applying them in land, water and urban management: it will identify how, where ...

Engineered nanomaterial mechanisms of interactions with living systems and the environment: a universal framework for safe nanotechnology (NANOMILE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
The NanoMILE project is conceived and led by an international elite of scientists from the EU and US with the aim to establish a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of nanomaterial interactions with living systems and the environment, and uniquely to do so across the entire life cycle of nanomaterials and in a wide range of target species. Identification of critical properties (physico-che ...

Developing predictors of the health benefits of exercise for individuals (META-PREDICT)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
Physical activity is a powerful lifestyle factor that on average reduces risk for development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, we have demonstrated that following supervised endurance exercise training, 20% of subjects show no change in fitness and 30% demonstrate no improvement in insulin sensitivity or worse-still an adverse response. Our concept is that by using molecular p ...

A systems biology approach to dissect cilia function and its disruption in human genetic disease (SYSCILIA)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
AIM: To identify the molecular mechanisms characterizing cilium function, and the discrete perturbations associated with dysfunction caused by mutations in inherited ciliopathies, applying a systems biology approach. BACKGROUND: Cilia are microtubule-based, centriole-derived projections from the cell surface. They transduce extracellular signals and regulate key processes in which signals of the e ...

Treatment of NEonatal seizures with Medication Off-patent: evaluation of efficacy and safety of bumetanide (NEMO)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
Neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 2-3/1000 live births and is a major cause of both acute mortality and long-term neurodisability. Seizures are the hallmark of HIE. The clinical and electrographic seizure burden in babies with HIE can be considerable and is often not reduced by current antiepileptic drugs. Phenobarbitone remains the first line drug for neonatal seizures des ...
