Control of metabolic and inflammatory pathways by nuclear receptors (NR-NET)

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

NR-NET is a multidisciplinary consortium, whose activities are directed towards the understanding of the role of Nuclear Receptors (NRs) and coregulators in metaflammatory disease. Metaflammation - metabolic disorders linked to chronic inflammation – is an emerging concept explaining the pathogenesis of a wide-spectrum of diseases. Since several nuclear receptors can directly sense metabolic alter ...

Transposon-based, targeted ex vivo gene therapy to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (TARGETAMD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a neurodegenerative disease of the retina, is a major cause of blindness in elderly people. Due to the aging population, AMD has been referred to as a “time bomb” in society. In the exudative form of AMD, high levels of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and low levels of pigment-epithelial derived factor (PEDF), an inhibitor of vascularization a ...
