Targeting cardiac fibrosis for heart failure treatment (FIBRO-TARGETS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The Fibro-Targets project is a multi-disciplinary 4 years program involving 10 partners ambitioning “the identification, characterisation and validation of in vitro and in vivo models of novel therapeutically relevant targets” for myocardial interstitial fibrosis (MIF) in heart failure. The project is based on the hypothesis that the intervention on novel fibrosis-related targets involved in the p ...

Living autologous heart valves for minimally invasive implantable procedures (LIFEVALVE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2015,
Cardiovascular disease still represents the Killer No.1 in the EU accounting for substantial morbidity/mortality and health care cost. Heart valve replacement represents the most common surgical therapy for valvular heart disease with almost 200.000 annual implantations worldwide. Currently, heart valve prosthesis-associated problems occur in 30-35% of patients within 10 years, frequently necessit ...
