EURopean Endeavour for Chimeric Antigen Receptor Therapies (EURE-CART)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Cancer is rapidly becoming the most frequent cause of death in EU. Though enormously expensive (several billions EUR/year), currently available anti-cancer therapies are major causes of chronic diseases. Adoptive immunotherapy with T cells genetically modified with a tumour-reactive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is an innovative therapeutic concept, promising to eradicate cancer without causing ...

REgenerative Stem cell therapy for STroke in Europe (RESSTORE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world population. When not fatal, stroke often results in disability, due to motor and cognitive impairments, and secondary health problems affecting not only patients but also their families. Building on emerging preclinical and pilot clinical evidences, RESSTORE will focus on the clinical assessment of regenerative cell therapy to improve stroke ...

Mobile Therapeutic Attention for Patients with Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia (m-RESIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

In European Union approximately 5 million people suffer from psychotic disorders. Between 30-50% can be considered resistant to treatment, and 10-20% ultra-resistant. These patients present persistent positive symptomatology, require extensive periods of hospital care, and have a greater risk of excess mortality and multi-morbidity. In addition, a high proportion of the total cost for treating sch ...

Molecular Analysis of Synaptic Dysfunctions Underlying Human Intellectual Disabilities (MASDUHID)

Start date: May 2, 2012, End date: May 1, 2016,

"Synapses of the central nervous system are the cellular structures mediating communication between neurons. Mouse mutations studies of synaptic proteins have shown how they ultimately modulate animal cognition and behavior. Furthermore, there is a growing body of data suggesting a central role of the synapse in neurodegenerative, mental and behavioral disorders. This project aims at understanding ...

Vitamin D And LIfestyle Intervention for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Prevention (DALI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Europe is facing a rapidly growing threat from Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which is undoubtedly associated with an unhealthy diet and a more sedentary lifestyle. Evidence is accumulating that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may be playing a role in this process. Thus it provides a significant opportunity for preventing future T2D. Not only is GDM prevalence on the rise, but intrauterine ex ...

Regeneration of Cardiac Tissue Assisted by Bioactive Implants (RECATABI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Heart failure is the end-stage of many cardiovascular diseases, but the leading cause is the presence of a large scar due acute to myocardial infarction. Current therapeutic treatments under development consist in cellular cardiomyoplasty where myocardial cells or stem cells are implanted alone or encapsulated in natural scaffolds (collagens) and grafted onto infarcted ventricles with the hope tha ...

Evaluation of Integrated Cardiac Imaging for the Detection and Characterization of Ischemic Heart Disease (EVINCI-study)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

The main purpose of the EVINCI-study is to test the impact of combined “anatomo-functional” non invasive cardiac imaging for detection and characterization of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). The EVINCI-study is a prospective clinical European multicenter trial performed in a cohort of 700 patients with suspected IHD. Patients with intermediate pre-test probability will undergo clinical and biohumora ...

CRITICAL - Common Resources for Interactive Training of Intensive Care staff at All Levels

The project involves 2 main ideas: 1) a broad vision - an open source approach to creating interactive educational materials 2) a specific example of that vision - implementation of an open source software virtual patient as a free teaching resource. Teachers will use the developed software for teaching and tutorials, while students will be able to perform diagnostic exercises. At the end of the p ...

Setting up of an interactive e-Learning programme in Medical Parasitology and Mycology dedicated to the professionals who work in non specialized clinical laboratories: e-MEDICINimage

The e-MEDICINimage project enabled the creation of a remote continuing education scheme in the health sector (medical biology) related to parasitology and medical mycology. These two training schemes are built exclusively on e-Learning techniques and each of them offers a unique curriculum available in 5 languages (English, Spanish, French, Polish and Portuguese). This scheme, associated with the ...
