European Consortium for the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy (EUROCONDOR)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of blindness among working-age individuals in developed countries has been classically considered to be a microcirculatory disease of the retina. However, there is growing evidence to suggest that retinal neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of DR. For this reason, it is reasonable to hypothesize that therapeutic strategies based on n ...

European Study to Establish Biomarkers of Human Ageing (MARK-AGE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The rate of ageing in humans is not uniform, due to genetic heterogeneity and the influence of environmental factors. Age-related changes in body function or composition that could serve as a measure of “biological” age and predict the onset of age-related diseases and/or residual lifetime are termed “biomarkers of ageing”. Many candidate biomarkers have been proposed but in all cases their variab ...
