Synthesis of mono-dithiolene molybdenum complexes and their evaluation as potential drugs for the treatment of human isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (MOCOMODELS)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,
Two rare but usually fatal diseases are caused by a failure at different levels of the multistep biosynthetic generation of the three human molybdenum dependent enzymes involved in metabolic processes. In contrast to the more general Moco deficiency (MocoD) affecting all three enzymes, isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (iSOD) cannot be treated yet. The proposed project is primarily aimed at synt ...

Effects of global change on hydro-geomorphological hazards in Mediterranean rivers (FLOODHAZARDS)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 1 déc. 2017,
Mediterranean river basins are characterized by high (often extreme) temporal variability in precipitation, and hence discharge. Mediterranean countries are considered sensitive to so-called global change, considered as the combination of climate and land use changes. All panels on climate evolution predict future scenarios of increasing frequency and magnitude of floods and extended droughts in t ...

The role of nuclear gene flow in the evolutionary history of Pleistocene mammals (GeneFlow)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2017,
How important are environmental barriers between species and populations now and in the future? Currently, environmental barriers to movement across habitats that have persisted since the last ice age are breaking down, resulting in gene flow among previously isolated populations and even hybridization between species. What are the consequences of this gene flow? Local genetic adaptations to the s ...

Investigating Tectonism-Erosion-Climate-Couplings (ITECC)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
Tectonics and climate are interdependent. The tectonics of orogens are moderated by climate through erosion. Exposure of rock by tectonics or erosion is critical to the feedback which governs changes in global climate, whilst topography influences rainfall. The principle objective of iTECC is to use the Himalaya as a natural laboratory to train young scientists in understanding such coupled proces ...

Probing DNA Radiation Damage by DNA Nanotechnology (NANORADAM)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
In cancer radiation therapy predetermined doses of high-energy radiation are administered to reduce tumours. More than 60 % of the patients diagnosed with cancer are treated with radiation therapy. A detailed understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of DNA radiation damage is of utmost importance with respect to the question of how the damage can be increased by therapeutics used in radiation t ...

Evolution of flower morphology: the selfing syndrome in Capsella (CAPSEVO)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
"The change from reproduction by outbreeding to selfing is one of the most frequent evolutionary transitions in plants. This transition is generally accompanied by changes in flower morphology and function, termed the selfing syndrome, including a reduction in flower size and a more closed flower structure. While the loss of self-incompatibility is relatively well understood, little is known about ...

Mechanisms underlying lateral polarity establishment in plant cells (GreenLatPol)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
Higher plants and animals establish elaborate body plans with one end of the organism being different from another. Polar organisation is also of fundamental importance at the single-cell level, because mutations affecting cell polarity may cause severe body deformations. Hence, cell polarity is a central theme of biological research and much progress has been made towards our understanding of cel ...

Syllables and the Timing of Speech (STIMOS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
"Project summary: The project develops an integrative symbolic-dynamical framework for gaining a fundamental understanding of the relation between qualitative spoken language form, also known as phonological form, and the continuous speech movements and acoustics in which this form is realized. The empirical domain is syllables. The syllable is a central unit of spoken language, mediating between ...

The Plant Cell Wall Training Consortium (WallTraC)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
"Plant cell walls constitute a highly complex and dynamic entity of extreme importance in plant growth and development. Growing cell walls can be considered as ""fibre composites"", where cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix of complex glycans. It is becoming increasingly apparent (i) that cell wall glycans are diverse in structural terms, (ii) that these structures are developmentally ...
