TargetIng novel MEchanisms of Resolution in inflammation (TIMER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Resolution of inflammation is a key determinant of pathology, and an active process which involves diverse pathways and molecules. The general objective of the TIMER Consortium is to identify and validate new molecules involved in the resolution of inflammation as a basis for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The project will invo ...

Electric sail propulsion technology (ESAIL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"The Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) is a recent invention of ultra-efficient propellantless in-space propulsion technology. It uses the solar wind charged ions as natural source for producing spacecraft thrust. The E-sail is composed of a set of long, thin, conducting and positively charged tethers which are centrifugally stretched from the main spacecraft and kept electrically charged by an on ...
