Optimization of stem cell therapy for clinical trials of degenerative skin and muscle diseases (OptiStem)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

This proposal aims to develop and implement efficacy of clinical trials with adult, tissue stem cells for degenerative diseases of epithelia and skeletal muscle. Extraordinary progress in the understanding of several key features of stem cells has been rapidly translated into novel cell therapy protocols that have yielded positive results in pre-clinical models of genetic and acquired diseases and ...

European Paediatric Oncology Off-Patent Medicines Consortium (EPOC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

Cancer chemotherapy has a key role in the successful treatment of a number of childhood cancers. Nevertheless, at least 20% of patients are not cured by current therapies and a significant number experience debilitating toxicities. Given the high cure rates and potential life-span of survivors of childhood cancer, it is particularly important to minimize the impact of potential chronic toxicities. ...

Joint training and research on Hedhehog-Gli signalling and its pharmacological modulation for regenerative medicine (HEALING)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"Debilitating degenerative diseases such as non-healing wounds and neurodegeneration do not yet have a cure. They represent a huge unmet medical need worldwide, especially in the aging European population. To reduce the incidence and improve recovery from such ephitelial diseases there is an major need to understand molecular signaling in order to promote stem cell behavior and enhance regeneratio ...

NONHUMAN ADENOVIRUS VECTORS FOR GENE TRANSFER TO THE BRAIN (BrainCAV)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

Formidable challenges remain to prevent and treat successfully neurodegenerative diseases. Traditional pharmacological approaches, as well as those using stem cells, have made progress but their impact remain limited. As suggested by clinical results in Canavan and Parkinson’s disease, gene transfer offers substantial potential. However, this strategy of therapeutic intervention also brings unique ...
