To decipher the optimal management of systemic sclerosis (DESSCIPHER)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,
The current approach to diagnosis and management of the rare disease systemic sclerosis (SSc) is based on American College of Rheumatology criteria with low sensitivity and few validated recommendations for the therapy of the disease and its manifold organ manifestations. To overcome these shortcomings, the DeSScipher project will use the multinational, prospective and open EUSTAR (Scleroderma Tri ...

Ambulatory Bio-Artificial Lung (AmbuLung)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 4th leading cause of death worldwide. Long-term respiratory support increases the life expectancy and the quality of life of COPD patients and decreases the cost of care. Currently available artificial lungs, such as Novalung’s iLA system, fail after ~ one month, mainly due to thrombus formation at the blood/machine interface. The size of current ...

The role of the Calcium Sensing Receptor (CaSR) in health and disease, implications for translational medicine (MULTIFACETED CASR)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
The identification of the extracellular calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) was a crucial step in understanding nutrient sensing in mammals. In mammalian organisms the CaSR has multiple roles: besides calcium homeostasis, it is involved in protection against osteoporosis, blood vessel calcification, prevention against colorectal cancer, is involved in metastasis of breast and prostate cancer cells to ...
