Mutation-driven immunoediting of human cancer? (MUTAEDITING)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

"It is well documented that each human cancer has acquired a large number of mutations (50-500), some of which are drivers for tumorigenicity, others of which are indolent passengers. It has also been established that such mutations can be recognized by the patient´s T cells via the presentation of mutated peptides on HLA molecules of a tumor cell. If such immune responses against cancer mutations ...

Safe Small Electric Vehicles through Advanced Simulation Methodologies (SafeEV)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

In the next 20 years the number of small and light-weight full electric vehicles will substantially increase especially in urban areas. These Small Electric Vehicles (SEVs) shows distinctive design differences compared to the traditional car (e.g. no bonnets, vertical windscreens, outstanding wheels). Thus the consequences of impacts of SEVs with vulnerable road users (VRU) and other (heavier) veh ...

“Effect of diet on the mental performance of children” (NUTRIMENTHE)

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

Current evidence on the effect of diet on mental performance (MP) is largely based on animal, retrospective studies, and short-term nutritional intervention studies in humans. NUTRIMENTHE will significantly improve this knowledge through studying the role, mechanisms, risks & benefits of specific nutrients & food components to respond to specific needs and improve the MP of children. The research ...

European Collaborative Project on Inflamation and Vascular Wall Remodelling in Atherosclerosis (ATHEROREMO)

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

"The health of the EC population has never been better. However, serious public health problems remain, which cannot be ignored including high levels of premature death due to cardiovascular diseases. Thus, new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies against atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are needed. The atherosclerotic changes of the vascular wall are central in the developmen ...
