The impact of chromosomal instability on health: Molecular causes and consequences of aneuploidy (PLOIDYNET)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Aneuploidy, an abnormal number of chromosomes, is a hallmark of cancer cells, affecting the majority of all human tumours. Aneuploidy arises when errors occur during mitosis, as the duplicated chromosomes are distributed between the two new daughter cells. Paradoxically, aneuploidy appears to have detrimental consequences for the physiology of untransformed cells in vitro, inhibiting rather than s ...

PHYTOCHEMICALS TO REDUCE NITRITE IN MEAT PRODUCTS (PHYTOME)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Trend analyses indicate that the consumption of meat products in most EU countries is stagnating, with the exception of the market segment ‘light and healthy’. However, consumer perception is increasingly influenced by messages in the media that consumption of nitrite preserved meat products contributes to human cancer risk. Therefore, the aim of the PHYTOME project is to develop new meat processi ...
