ON THE COSTS OF KNOWLEDGE PRIVATIZATION (SOFTPAT)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

Patent systems are supposed to spur incentives to innovate 1) by granting inventors temporary monopoly rights that allow them to recoup their research and development (R&D) investment and 2) by facilitating follow-up inventions by making information about technical inventions available to the public. In other words, patents make technical information available to society at the cost of “privatizat ...

Cell autonomous role of beta3 integrin: function in macrophages (Macrophage Itgb3)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Integrins play a key role in the binding of cells to the extra-cellular matrix, cell migration, cell-cell adhesion and cell-cell signaling. The ß3-integrin subunit is expressed in a wide range of tissues. β3 integrins occur i.e. as αvβ3 in various cell types but as αIIβ3 exclusively in megakaryo/-thrombocytes. Mice with a germline β3 integrin deficiency (β3-/-) show enhanced tumor growth and neoan ...
