Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR): Therapeutics for Non-Communicable Diseases (CaSR Biomedicine)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is a class C Gprotein-coupled receptor that plays a pivotal role in systemic calcium metabolism by regulating parathyroid hormone secretion and urinary Ca excretion. Abnormal CaSR function is implicated in calciotropic disorders, and in non-calciotropic disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes (DM), sarcopenia and cancer ...

Mobile Therapeutic Attention for Patients with Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia (m-RESIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

In European Union approximately 5 million people suffer from psychotic disorders. Between 30-50% can be considered resistant to treatment, and 10-20% ultra-resistant. These patients present persistent positive symptomatology, require extensive periods of hospital care, and have a greater risk of excess mortality and multi-morbidity. In addition, a high proportion of the total cost for treating sch ...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the development of insulin resistance: role of betaine supplementation (IRBETAINE-CIG)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a growing global epidemic and new prevention and therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Insulin resistance is present in high-risk individuals years before the onset of T2D, making the characterization of the complex pathophysiology of insulin resistance a key element of future prevention efforts. The overall goal of our project is to identify and characterize novel ...

Chemotherapy of neuroblastoma (Neuroblastoma Chemo)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Background/Main objective: Neuroblastoma, a solid tumor of the childhood, is the cause of 15% of deaths by cancer in children under the age of 15. Survival of advanced stage neuroblastoma patients remains poor (around 30%), because these tumors rapidly develop resistance to conventional treatments. The poor penetration of chemotherapy agents to the target tumor cells is considered one of the main ...

Drawing neuronal circuits without seeing them (CoNeuron)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Recently, some of the neuronal correlates of high level cognitive functions, such as decision making, working memory, visual perception and attention, have been uncovered. Neurophysiologists, powered with new recording techniques, are obtaining crucial information about the neuronal mechanisms that underlay the perception of the objects, confidence in our decisions or our perception of time. With ...

Trancriptional control of dendritic arbors morphology in pathogeny and therapy of neuropsychiatric diseases (PsychiaProteGenomic)

Start date: Sep 3, 2007, End date: Feb 2, 2012,

Neuropsychiatric disorders affect 25% of the population sometime during their life. Aberrant dendritic arbors appear in mental disorders. Although the psychopathological mechanisms are not completely understood, it has been suggested that changes in gene expression contribute to the development and therapy. Several evidences, including the applicant own studies, suggest that misregulation of Sp4 t ...
