A stochastic model of eye lens growth with implications for cortical cataract formation (MOLEGRO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Humans have lenses in their eyes; to focus light on the retina. The lens must be precisely built, flexible, and remain transparent throughout life. If anything fails, our ability to see is seriously affected. Lack of flexibility affects practically everyone over the age of 50. Cataract affects transparency and is the most common cause of blindness in the world. The biological lens grows throughout ...

Diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease IBD-BIOM (IBD-BIOM)

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

Inflammatory bowel diseases affect 0.8% of the Europeans, and are associated with high morbidity, definite mortality and an increasing economic burden. Current diagnostic tools and therapeutics for IBD are unsatisfactory. Development of biomarkers allowing insights into pathogenesis, prognosis and targeted therapy is a major unmet need. This programme addresses that need. IBD-BIOM is a multidisci ...

Diffusion of Cooling and Refreshing Technologies using the Solar Energy Resource in the Adriatic Regions (Adriacold)

Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Mar 30, 2015,

The Solar Cooling System is particularly innovative from a technological point of view. It allows to cool and refresh environments using the air conditioning system powered by the heat produced by solar panels, that are traditionaly used to produce hot water, instead of using electrical energy to power traditional air conditioners. This type of system, for the way it operates, consumes almost excl ...
