SUrrogate markers for vascular Micro- and Macrovascular hard endpoints for Innovative diabetes Tools (SUMMIT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong, incapacitating disease affecting multiple organs. Worldwide prevalence figures estimate that there will be 246 million diabetic patients in 2007 and 380 million in 2025. Presently, diabetes can neither be prevented nor cured and the disease is associated with devastating chronic complications including coronary heart disease and stroke (macrovascular disease) as we ...

Translational Research in Europe – Applied Technologies for Osteoarthritis (TREAT OA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
TREAT-OA will address the need for better treatment and diagnostics for osteoarthritis (OA) - the most common cause of disability in Europe. Currently there are no drugs that can cure, reverse or halt the disease. Nor are there yet reliable clinical biochemical markers for diagnosis or prognosis which is an impediment to the management of OA, costs of therapeutic trials and the development of dise ...

Lipid droplets as dynamic organelles of fat deposition and release: Translational research towards human disease (LipidomicNet)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Lipids are central to the regulation and control of cellular processes by acting as basic building units for biomembranes, the platforms for the vast majority of cellular functions. Recent developments in lipid mass spectrometry have set the scene for a completely new way to understand the composition of membranes, cells and tissues in space and time by allowing the precise identification and quan ...
