Exploitation of Our Intestinal Microbiota (MICROBESINSIDE)

Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,

Our intestinal tract is colonized by a myriad of microbes that exceed our body cells in number and coding capacity and have important metabolic and signaling functions. Analysis of the diversity of these microbes inside revealed more than 1000 species, some of which have developed intimate interactions that are operating at the mucus interface separating the intestinal and microbial cells. Notably ...

Systems biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (SYSTEMTB)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,

Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging global health threat caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). One third of the world's population is infected with Mtb and new infections occur at a rate of one per second. Despite global research efforts, mechanisms underlying pathogenesis, virulence and persistence of Mtb infection remain poorly understood. Simple reductionist approaches are insufficient to ...

PLANT food supplements: Levels of Intake, Benefit and Risk Assessment (PlantLIBRA)

Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2014,

Plant food supplements, or botanicals, have high acceptance by European consumers. Potentially, they can deliver significant health benefits, safely, and at relatively low costs. New regulations and EFSA guidance are also now in. However, concerns about safety, quality and efficacy of these products remain, and bottle-necks in risk and benefit assessments need to be solved. PlantLIBRA (PLANT food ...

Novel staple food-based strategies to improve micronutrient status for better health and development in sub-Saharan Africa (INSTAPA)

Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,

"Malnutrition, and especially deficiencies of micronutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin A, undermine the progress towards most of the Millennium Development Goals. In view of the serious coverage, compliance and safety concerns of supplementation, this project aims to identify novel staple food-based approaches to improve micronutrient malnutrition for better health and development of women and c ...

Interplay of microbiota and gut function in the developing pig – Innovative avenues towards sustainable animal production (INTERPLAY)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,

"Low input farming occurs under non-SPF (specific pathogen free) conditions. The European ban on in-feed antibiotics exposes the piglets to a higher microbial environmental pressure. The postnatal priming of piglets with a diverse microbiota may affect the development of the piglet’s host-defense and gut functionality. By reversal, the piglets developing host-defense may affect the development of ...
