Innovative Nanoformulation of Antimicrobial Peptides to Treat Bacterial Infectious Diseases (FORMAMP)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

Resistance to traditional antibiotics is a rapidly increasing problem that in a few years could make infections impossible to treat and bring the state of medical care back to the pre-antibiotic era from the beginning of the last century. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a huge potential as new therapeutics against infectious diseases as they are less prone to induce resistance due to their fast ...

More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing (MAAXIMUS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Even though composite materials are more and more used in modern airframes, many significant improvements are still achievable. Firstly, the substitution of the assembly of many small composite parts by a single one-shot large part provides additional weight reduction. Secondly, the final assembly line process must be adapted to composite properties (lack of ductility, stiffness). Thirdly, if the ...

Angiogenesis-inducing Bioactive and Bioresponsive Scaffolds in Tissue Enginering (AngioScaff)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Angiogenesis underlies almost all biological processes of morphogenesis, including those in tissue repair and regeneration. Physiological angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interplay between cells and their environment: the extracellular matrix (ECM) provides signaling via numerous ECM adhesion molecules and growth factors bound to ECM polysaccharide components; and cells locally degrade and ...

Strategic Networking of RDI Programmes in Construction and Operation of Buildings (ERACOBUILD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

ERACOBUILD aims at strengthening and enlarging the strategic networking of RDI programmes in the field of “construction and operation of buildings” initiated in the previous ERABUILD coordination action. ERACOBUILD gathers 34 programme owners or managers coming from 17 EU Members States, 4 Associated Countries and 1 European Region. The new countries will benefit from the experience and results o ...

Aerodynamic loads estimation at extremes of the flight envelope (ALEF)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

"ALEF's objective is to enable the European aeronautical industry to create complete aerodynamic models of their aircraft based on numerical simulation approaches within the respective development processes. I.e. ALEF will kick-off a paradigm shift from greater confidence in experimentally measured loads data to greater confidence in computational results. Beyond the scope of ALEF this paradigm sh ...

Innovative technology for low-cost production of photovoltaic solar cells (SUNRISE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Background Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy provides a potential alternative to energy sources that produce CO2 emissions. Today, PV solar cells are produced primarily in four countries: Japan, China, USA, and Germany, with Japan having the largest share of global production, at nearly 40%. Reducing the manufacturing cost of PV solar cells and/or increasi ...

"DIAbetes type 1 PRediction, Early Pathogenesis and Prevention" (DIAPREPP)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"The earliest currently identifiable process in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is the development of autoimmunity to islet beta cells in the form of autoantibodies. Hindering attempts to prevent autoimmune T1D, the aetiology and pathogenesis of the islet auto-immunization, including whether it is preceded by metabolic abnormalities and cell-mediated autoimmunity, is still poorly underst ...
