Beta Cell Therapy in Diabetes (BETACELLTHERAPY)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,

Type 1 diabetes is a serious chronic disease with major health risks and heavy burden on patients and society. It is caused by massive immune-mediated loss of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas that can so far not be locally corrected. A cellular allotransplant in the liver can install a new beta cell mass but the size is insufficient and the procedure faces limitations of donor shortage ...

Dissecting the discrete steps of mitochondrial fusion (MITOFUSION)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,

Mitochondria are not single isolated organelles but constitute a real network comparable to the Endoplasmic Reticulum or the Golgi apparatus. In wild type conditions, this network adopts a tubular morphology that is conditioned by active and constant processes of fission and fusion of mitochondrial membranes.Unlike other organelles, fusion of mitochondrial membranes is not catalyzed by SNAREs but ...

Gamma ray astronomy and the origin of galactic cosmic rays (GAMMA)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,

"Diffusive shock acceleration operating at expanding supernova remnant shells is by far the most popular model for the origin of galactic cosmic rays. Despite the general consensus received by this model, an unambiguous and conclusive proof of the supernova remnant hypothesis is still missing. In this context, the recent developments in gamma ray astronomy provide us with precious insights into th ...

The relation between structure and functions is a central topic in enzymology. I propose to study that question at the single molecule level employing a novel optical and force spectroscopy. The enzyme will be linked to a glass surface employing PEG-Biotin-Streptavidin interaction. The location of a single enzyme will be determined by a dye attached to it. The substrate of the reaction, while bein ...
