Nanopatterned scaffolds for active myocardial implants (NanoCARD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Cell therapy and tissue engineering are emerging as novel therapeutic paradigms for myocardial repair. The rationale behind the cell replacement approach is based on the assumption that an increase in the number of functional cardiomyocytes within the diseased area may improve the mechanical properties of this compromised region. A common strategy attempts to initially combine, ex-vivo, cells with ...

Standardisation and improvement of generic pre-analytical tools and procedures for in vitro diagnostics (SPIDIA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"In vitro diagnostics have allowed a great deal of progress in medicine but are limited by two factors: (a) the lack of guidelines in collection, handling, stabilisation and storage of biosamples which limits the reproducibility of subsequent diagnoses, and (b) its scale is restrained to the cellular level. To address this first point, this IP, SPIDIA, built of clinicians, academics, tool and assa ...

Metabolomics: defining the standards for sample preparation of small molecules (MetabolomicsStandard)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

The general aim of metabolomics is to identify measure and interpret the complex time-related concentration, flux and activity of the metabolites, in a biological sample. Metabolites include small molecules that are the products and intermediates of metabolism, but also carbohydrates, peptides, and lipids, and can be seen as the chemical characterisation of the phenotype. As the youngest of the –o ...
