Neuropathic pain: biomarkers and druggable targets within the endogenous analgesia system (NEUROPAIN)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

Neuropathic pain has a high incidence in Europe and often affects the patient’s emotional balance and quality of life. Recent meta-analyses have shown that conventional analgesic drugs are not sufficiently effective in these patients and are limited by serious side effects. The search for new analgesics is extremely difficult despite identification of several new potential targets and enormous inv ...

Aggression subtyping for improved insight and treatment innovation in psychiatric disorders (AGGRESSOTYPE)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2018,

Aggression is a basic physiological trait with important roles throughout evolution, both in defence and predation. When expressed in humans in the wrong context, aggression leads to maladjustment, social impairment and crime. Despite this, knowledge about aggression aetiology is limited and current treatment strategies are insufficient. Contingent to a subdivision into impulsive and instrumental ...

"Mental disorders are leading causes of disability, absence from work and premature retirement in Europe. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities are broadly available and a vast research literature exists, few neuroimaging applications have reached clinical practice in psychiatry. A major problem is that mental illnesses are currently diagnosed as discrete entities defined clinically. I ...

Despite dramatic advances in molecular and imaging technologies and nearly 1 5,000 articles on schizophrenia and depression (S&D) there are few novel treatments. We think this is because of three major “bottle-necks”: a lack of etiologically-driven or pathophysiologically-accurate animal models; a lack of tests that provide indication of efficacy in healthy volunteers; and the reliance of clinical ...

During the last few years, most major disease phenotypes have been studied through genome-wide association mapping. This has been a remarkably successful enterprise, resulting in the discovery of more than 500 validated SNP-phenotype associations. Yet, these associations do not explain all the heritability of many common genetic diseases and it is not at all clear how they exert their effect at th ...

Biomarkers that help determine which of the ...
