Bioactivated hierarchical hydrogels as zonal implants for articular cartilage regeneration (HYDROZONES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Degeneration of cartilage is a major cause of chronic pain, lost mobility and reduced quality of life for millions of European citizens. From a clinical point of view treatment to achieve cartilage regeneration (hyaline) and not only repair (fibrous) remains a great challenge. No clinical therapy is available that leads to healing of cartilage defects.Current cartilage implants cannot establish th ...

Systems medicine of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (SYSMEDIBD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a major health problem with severe co-morbidities, requiring life-long treatment. Oscillating processes, like biological clocks are well studied and modeled in a number of systems. Circadian rhythms are extremely important for optimal treatments of patients. Recently, the NfkB pathway has been shown to be oscillating. In this project, we will model NfkB oscillat ...

"RESPECT – Rules, Expectations & Security through Privacy-Enhanced Convenient Technologies" (RESPECT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

"Convenience and cost-effectiveness are the two key considerations for both citizens and security forces when deciding which technologies to embrace or avoid in the Information Society. State actors and private corporations adopt information communication technologies (ICTs) because they are cost-effective. The motivation for adoption may be different in the private and public sectors but once ado ...

A Treatment-Oriented Research Project of NCL Disorders as a Major Cause of Dementia in Childhood (DEM-CHILD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"The DEM-CHILD project focusses on the main cause for childhood dementia in Europe, the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The NCLs are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by dementia, blindness, epilepsy and physical decline leading to an early death of the patients. Since no cure is currently available, these disorders represent a serious social, medical, and economic challenge.To date, ...

Investigation of the molecular pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) (EuroDSD)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) constitute a group of rare to very rare mostly heritable disorders affecting the genito-urinary tract and in most instances also the endocrine-reproductive system. We hypothesize that stringent and stepwise analysis of cases with DSD will result in a systematic and reliable discovery of DSD-relevant biochemical, genetic and functional profiles, allowing for the d ...
