STRATEGY TO INHIBIT TGF-Beta IN LIVER DISEASE (IT-LIVER)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Chronic liver diseases (CLD) and their end-stages, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide with enormous socio-economic costs. Patients with liver cirrhosis are at high risk of deadly hepatic failure and over 80% of HCC develop on a cirrhotic background. HCC ranks as the 5th most common cancer and with >600,000 deaths per annum it const ...

The MEtabolic Road to DIAstolic Heart Failure (MEDIA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
More than 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present without a major deficit of left ventricular (LV) systolic function and are presumed to suffer from diastolic HF (DHF) because diastolic LV distensibility is usually impaired in these patients. The vast majority (~80%) of DHF patients is exposed to metabolic risk factors. The MEDIA consortium therefore investigates:1) how metabolic derangements c ...

Augmenting PBGD expression in the liver as a Novel Gene therapy for Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIPGENE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare genetic disease in which mutations in the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) gene produce insufficient activity of a protein necessary for heme synthesis. This leads to an accumulation of toxic intermediates resulting in a wide variety of problems including acute, severe abdominal pains, psychiatric and neurological disorders, and muscular weakness. Acute ...
