Date du début: 1 mai 2014, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2019,

"This path-breaking interdisciplinary project critically analyses the impact of the increased prominence of the individual in the theory and practice of armed conflict. The ‘individualisation of war’, while based on powerful normative and technological developments, places enormous strain on the actors most actively engaged in contexts of conflict: the governments and armed forces of states, inter ...

Lipid antigens in intestinal inflammation and tumor development (IBDlipids)

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

Lipids play crucial roles in metabolism, immunity and cancer. In addition to their function as inflammatory mediators, lipids serve as antigens presented by CD1d and activate a subset of T cells called natural killer T (NKT) cells. While NKT cells are critical for human immunity, their uncontrolled activation contributes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a group of diseases characterized by chr ...

The Underbelly of the Indian Boom: Adivasis and Dalits (UNDERINDIA)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2018,

In recent decades India has experienced exceptionally high economic growth rates, becoming one of the world’s fastest growing major economies. Yet, the redistribution of the fruits of economic growth – the trickle down effects of growth – have been negligible for vast swathes of India’s population, most of who live in the countryside. The demographics of the poor are starkly socially marked. Econo ...

The mechanisms for lateral gene transfer in nature as reflected in prokaryote genomes (EVOLATERAL)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2018,

Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the process by which prokaryotes acquire DNA across wide taxonomic boundaries and incorporate it into their genome. Accumulating evidence shows that LGT plays a major role in prokaryote evolution. The biological and evolutionary significance of lateral gene transfer has broad implications for our understanding of microbial biology, not only in terms of evolution, but ...

Early warning signals of ageing in human stem cells and age-related disorders (SYSTEMAGE)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,

The regenerative power of a living organism is linked to the potential of its stem cells to replace the corresponding damaged tissue. Therefore organisms are as old as their stem cells. Whereas the vulnerability to cancer and chronic inflammation is associated with a decline of the immune system, the latter is in turn a sum product of interactions among hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), endothelial ...
