Role of SOX9-BMI1 in adult neural stem cells and in glioma stem cells (SOX-BMI1)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Cancers display remarkable phenotypical and functional intratumoral heterogeneity. The discovery of a rare subpopulation of tumor cells that acquired stem cells properties in several malignancies has profound implications for cancer therapy. These cells are suppose to be responsible for the origin, progression and recurrence of the tumors. Thus, new strategies directly targeting cancer stem cells ...

Development of a strategy to treat limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2A) using combined cell and gene therapy strategies (LGMD2A)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Nov 29, 2014,

In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, several mutations can be corrected by the exon-skipping technique on cells. In limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A), however, all the mutations described to date do not seem to be good candidates for the RNA correction technology. The recently identified c.1782+1072 G>C mutation in LGMD2A patients could be potentially repaired at RNA level. The princip ...

SERVICES ASSOCIATED TO DIGITALISED CONTENTS OF TISSUES IN BIOBANKS ACROSS EUROPE (BIOPOOL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Biobanks are facilities that provide archived human biological samples for their use in health research. They are pools of biologic material and associated health information such as pathologies and treatments, and the materials stored and their associated information are very relevant for research purposes, among others. Biobanks are increasingly digitalising their biologic material (digital imag ...
