Artificial Mitochondria for Health (mitochon)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,

Mitochondria are cell organelles that provide the energetic requirements of the body. The majority of cellular ATP is produced by the membrane protein ATP synthase through a proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Alterations in ATP synthase biogenesis can result in severe mitochondrial diseases affecting tissues with high energy requirements as brain and muscles. Mitochondrial di ...

Dynamic regulation of cytokine signalling in lymphocytes during inflammation (DCS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

"Cytokines are key regulators of immune responses and inflammation. However, excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine stimulation promotes chronic inflammatory pathologies. Commonly used cytokine-neutralizing therapeutic drugs cause severe side effects and in some patients are not effective. We thus expect that study of the intracellular signalling triggered by cytokine stimulation will provide new, mo ...
