Epigenetic Training Network - Innovative techniques and models to understand epigenetic regulation in the pathogenesis of common diseases (EPITRAIN)

Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,

"Despite the past century witnessing considerable advances in our understanding of genetics, the success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in detecting putative causal variants has been tinged with disappointment as the effects found have been modest. Epigenetics promises a novel biological foundation of a new way of looking at common diseases because it responds to the environment and gov ...

Sustainable Lifestyles 2.0: End User Integration, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (EU-INNOVATE)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

Typically, end users or “consumers” are perceived as adopters of sustainable products and services, developed by companies. Thus, a lot of attention is paid to the (non-) diffusion of sustainable products and services. From this perspective end users are seen as – more or less – passive recipients of sustainable products and services.We propose to investigate the active roles of end users in shapi ...

The Role of the RPL11/p53 Checkpoint in the Development and Treatment of DBA (DBA-Checkpoints)

Date du début: 1 mars 2012, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,

Extensive studies have demonstrated that the underlying cause of Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is hypomorphic mutations in ribosomal protein (rp) genes. Patients with this disease present with an erythroid anemia, which has the propensity to progress to a wide range of cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukemia and osteosarcomas. Recently our laboratory has provided a model to explain the anemia ...

Use of adoptive T cell transfer in combination with oncolytic adenoviruses for cancer treatment (Cancer therapies)

Date du début: 1 mai 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,

Metastatic cancer remains an incurable disease in the majority of cases and thus development of novel treatment strategies is required. Adoptive T cell therapy is a promising therapy for patients with a wide range of cancers. This therapy involves ex vivo activation and expansion of T cells followed by infusion into patients. Peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells can be redirected against tumor-a ...

Role of human papillomavirus infection and other co-factors in the aetiology of head and neck cancer in India and Europe (HPV-AHEAD)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for approximately 25% of head and neck cancer (HNC) worldwide and appears to be associated with a better response to treatment and improved prognosis. Evidence suggests that HPV-induced HNC has steadily increased in the USA and some European countries in the last decades. However, whether this is a worldwide phenomenon and specific risk factors are associa ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 10% of the population. Besides eventual progression towards end stage renal disease CKD impacts the patient’s quality of life by causing serious comorbidities including cardiovascular complications and bone metabolism disorders. On the everyday clinical level early stage diagnosis and tailored treatment of CKD are still inadequate. In addition, CKD seems ...

Development of OPN-305 as an orphan drug for the treatment of Delayed Graft Function post solid organ transplantation (MABSOT)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,

Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as the need for dialysis within seven days of renal transplantation (DGF promotes allograft rejection, requires prolonged dialysis and hospitalisation, and increases the likelihood of graft failure and ultimately the duration of renal graft survival-expectancy. The incidence of DGF occurs in 21-44% of cases following cadaveric renal graft. Several rare dise ...
