Genome Stability Mechanisms in Aging (GENSTAGE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"Genome Instability has been recognized as causal factor of cancer and recently also as a major contributing factor of aging. A number of progeroid (premature aging-like) syndromes are linked to defects in nucleotide excision repair (NER). NER thus provides a highly relevant experimental system to study the role of genome stability in aging. Using the NER system we recently uncovered a novel link ...

Joint training and research network on Chromatin Dynamics and the DNA Damage Response (ADDRESS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

DNA is tightly wrapped around histones to form chromatin, a highly dynamic structure that can adopt different conformations with contrasting degrees of compaction. Essential processes of DNA metabolism, such as DNA repair, replication or transcription operate in the context of chromatin and higher order chromosomal organization. Understanding how modulation of chromatin structure and repair influe ...

Oxide Nanostructures for Wireless Chemical Sensing (WIROX)

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

Wireless sensor nodes (the so called ”Smart Dust”) are autonomous devices incorporating sensing, power, computation, and communication into one system. The incorporation of electrical gas sensors in motes is a scientific challenge which has not been solved yet. The objective of the project is to build up an international partnership to tackle these scientific challenge developing self-powered auto ...

Characterisation of early cellular and molecular alterations leading to inflammation and HCC using a mouse model with liver cell-specific NEMO ablation (kondevans2010)

Start date: Feb 6, 2012, End date: Feb 5, 2014,

Chronic liver inflammation has been shown to promote hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the initial cellular and molecular events that trigger the inflammation are largely unknown. The proposed study will provide a detailed characterisation of cellular processes that need to be deregulated in liver cells to cause inflammation. For this purpose, a genetic mouse model that closely reproduces a ...

Understanding inflammation-associated tumorigenesis for the rational design of novel anti-cancer therapeutic strategies (INFLA-CARE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

Epidemiological and experimental evidence supports a link between chronic inflammation and cancer and indicates a role for inflammatory cells in the initiation, progression and metastasis of malignancy. The objective of the collaborative integrated project INFLA-CARE is to structure a European collective of scientific and technological excellence in the field of ‘Inflammation & Cancer’ which will ...
