European Consortium for Communicating Stem Cell Research (EuroStemCell)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
The European Consortium for Communicating Stem Cell Research, EUROSTEMCELL, brings together the major current FP6 and FP7 stem cell projects, the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network, and four internationally recognized European stem cell centres to develop a comprehensive, coordinated platform for collation, dissemination and archiving of information on stem cell biology and regenera ...

Activation of vasculature associated stem cells and muscle stem cells for the repair and maintenance of muscle tissue (Endostem)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
We propose to develop new strategies to mobilize skeletal muscle tissue-associated stem cells as a tool for efficient tissue repair. This will be combined with exploring novel approaches that limit tissue damage, and will focus on agents that modify muscle and muscle vasculature progenitor cells. These molecules include nitric oxide associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, HMGB1, Cri ...

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 ...

Angiogenesis-inducing Bioactive and Bioresponsive Scaffolds in Tissue Enginering (AngioScaff)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
Angiogenesis underlies almost all biological processes of morphogenesis, including those in tissue repair and regeneration. Physiological angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interplay between cells and their environment: the extracellular matrix (ECM) provides signaling via numerous ECM adhesion molecules and growth factors bound to ECM polysaccharide components; and cells locally degrade and ...

Spinal locomotor circuits: organization and repair after injury (SPINAL CORD REPAIR)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"Neural circuits in the spinal cord, called central pattern generators (CPGs), can produce locomotor movements. The locomotor activity pattern is the result of the circuit design and the interplay between the firing properties of the CPG constituent neurons and their synaptic interactions. Spinal cord injury impairs the function of the locomotor circuitry and results in paralysis. An understanding ...
