ORTHOpedic randomized clinical trial with expanded bone marrow MSC and bioceramics versus autograft in long bone nonUNIONs (ORTHOUNION)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Current orthopaedic treatments permit spontaneous bone regeneration to unite and heal 90% bone injuries. Non-union associates pain and disability, often requiring biological enhancement. Regenerative medicine research suggests to the general public that alternative treatments based on advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) are already available. However, early clinical trials only explore its ...

Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in TBI (CENTER-TBI)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability, leading to great personal suffering to victim and relatives, as well as huge direct and indirect costs to society. Strong ethical, medical, social and health economic reasons therefore exist for improving treatment. The CENTER-TBI project will collect a prospective, contemporary, highly granular, observational dataset of 5400 p ...

Standardization and Development of Assays for Assessment of Influenza Vaccines Correlates of Protection (FLUCOP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

Background: Influenza viruses cause annual epidemic and occasional pandemics, both of which induce significant morbidity and mortality. Influenza infections affect all age groups but children and adults over the age of 65 are at most risk of developing severe disease.Vaccination is the most effective approach to reduce the impact of annual influenza outbreaks and potential pandemics, however, the ...

Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe (COMBACTE-NET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The emergence of Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is a global problem, having recently been elevated to the top three threats identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and subject of numerous national and international government activities, including the Trans-Atlantic Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance established by the US and EU presidencies. The estimated costs of ARB are aro ...

Production and characterization of endocrine cells derived from human pancreas organoids for the cell-based therapy of type 1 diabetes (LSFM4LIFE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Self-renew and multilineage potential characterize stem cells. We have recently described that pancreas progenitor cells extracted from adult donors can be expanded long-term in vitro into 3D structures, which we have termed organoids. Pancreas organoids reproduce in vitro all the features of pancreas ductal epithelia, and have a limitless expansion potential. Thus, pancreas organoids promise t ...

Molecular Reclassification to Find Clinically Useful Biomarkers for Systemic Autoimmune Diseases (PRECISESADS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

We concur to the IMI on “Reclassification of SLE, connective tissue diseases and RA” call by presenting a proposal aimed at using the power of OMICs, and bioinformatics to identify new classifications for diseases known to share common pathophysiological mechanisms. Such knowledge has not been applied to individual patients, depriving them from potential benefits in terms of the use of new therape ...

An optical neuro-monitor of cerebral oxygen metabolism and blood flow for neonatology (BabyLux)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The BabyLux project aims to provide a precise, accurate and robust integrated system to continuously monitoring cerebral oxygen metabolism and blood flow in critically ill newborn babies. Over the last two decades, the percentage of preterm births in the Western hemisphere rose by 20%. During early stages of brain development, injury from lack of blood flow and oxygen delivery may induce cognitive ...

A Gateway to European Kidney Research Resources - KidneyConnect (KidneyConnect)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

Diabetes, Cardiovascular and Chronic kidney (DCC) -diseases are relentlessly increasing globally, causing enormous human suffering, premature deaths and unsustainable costs. Leading European research has indisputably pointed that the kidney filtration barrier and its epithelial cell, the podocyte, is a common denominator for the DCC-diseases. However, European excellence and expertise have remaine ...

Regenerating Bone defects using New biomedical Engineering approaches (REBORNE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Bone is among the most frequently transplanted tissue with about 1 million procedures annually in Europe. The worldwide market of bone replacement materials is currently estimated at 5 billion € with a 10% annual growth. Despite their considerable disadvantages, including the risk of disease transfer and immunologic rejection, limited supply of bone, costs and complications, allografts and autogra ...
