Human stem cell applications for the treatment of hearing loss (OTOSTEM)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
Hearing impairment is the most frequent human sensory deficit and is mainly caused by the irreversible loss of neurosensory cells in the cochlea. The lack of human otic cell models represents a significant roadblock that has hampered the development of drug-based or cell-based therapies for the treatment of hearing loss. In a collaborative effort under this proposal we wish to devise approaches to ...

Fighting blindness of Usher syndrome: diagnosis, pathogenesis and retinal treatment (TreatRetUsher) (TREATRUSH)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,
Usher syndrome (USH) is the most frequent hereditary cause of deafness associated to blindness. It is a rare disease, affecting 1 in every 10.000 individuals, with an autosomal recessive monogenic inheritance. Deafness is congenital while the retinitis pigmentosa is not detected before the age of 8 to 10. These patients suffer from a dreadful disability as their two major senses are impaired. Impo ...

A closed-loop neural prosthesis for dizziness suppression (CLONS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,
The main goal of the CLONS project is to develop suitable technological solutions to increase the quality of life of people affected by vestibular disorders. Toward this aim, an innovative closed-loop sensory neural prosthesis will be developed and tested in animal models and in selected humans. This neural prosthesis will be able to restore vestibular information by stimulating the semicircular c ...
