"BIOactive highly porous and injectable Scaffolds controlling stem cell recruitment, proliferation and differentiation and enabling angiogenesis for Cardiovascular ENgineered Tissues" (BIOSCENT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Congenital and acquired diseases of the heart are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world today; 7.2 million people die each year due to coronary heart disease, being the first cause of mortality in population above 60 years old, and the second cause after HIV in world wide young population. There is an urgent demand for new methods to repair and replace damaged cardiovascular ...

Multi-level patient-specific artery and atherogenesis model\nfor outcome prediction, decision support treatment, and\nvirtual hand-on training (ARTreat)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
ARTreat targets at providing a patient-specific computational model of the cardiovascular system, used to improve the quality of prediction for the atherosclerosis progression and propagation into life-threatening events that need to be treated accordingly. ARTreat will provide a three-level patient model describing the 3d arterial tree anatomy, the patient-specific blood flow and blood particle d ...

Virtual Pathological Heart of the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH2)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
Heart failure accounts for almost a quarter of all admissions to hospital for cardiovascular events, has a high mortality (median survival around 18 months), and places a great burden on all healthcare systems, with estimated direct costs of £905m (?1350m) in the United Kingdom in 2000, 2% of total NHS expenditure.VPH2 aims to develop a patient-specific computational modelling and simulation of th ...
