The role of non coding RNA in human health and disease (RNA_REGULOMICS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"RNA molecules have been already proven to be a key target for disease therapy as well as a tool for the development of new drugs. Since the discovery of small non coding RNA (ncRNA) and all the associated phenomena like RNA interference, the possibility of using RNA-based drugs has become a subject of great interest in the pharmaceutical and clinical fields. ncRNA is at the core of many cellular ...

Identification and characterization of molecular markers of pancreatic Endocrine Progenitor Cells (Pancreatic Stem Cell)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of blastocyst-embryo stage. The potential of ES cells to differentiate in all kind of tissues, opens the possibility for future promising approaches, as genetic therapy and/or cell replacement, to treat many diseases, including type1 diabetes. Although several scientific groups have reported the successful differentiation of mous ...

Molecular characterization of cartilage development in the cephalopod mollusk Sepia officinalis (SepiaCartilage)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Mar 3, 2013,
The presence of cellular cartilage-like tissues outside the chordate lineage is either indicative of a common origin of cartilage as a metazoan tissue type (homology), or alternatively highlights developmental and/or structural constraints in constructing an internal cellular support tissue or endoskeleton (convergence). If a genetic program for specifying chondrocytes (cartilage cells) arose only ...
