Evolution of a Drosophila wing pigmentation spot, a sexual communication system (SPOT.COM)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

Explaining the origin of complex morphological innovations, in particular conspicuous male ornaments, remains one of the most challenging and exciting questions in the field of evolution. Indeed, conspicuous male-specific traits, either displayed to females during courtship, or used as weapons in battles, likely represent liabilities and should be opposed by natural selection. Darwin proposed that ...

Mechanistic dissection of myofibrillogenesis and sarcomerogenesis in insect muscle (FLIGHT MUSCLE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

Higher animals employ a complex muscle network for their daily movements. Proper execution of movements requires individual muscles to form at the correct positions, connect to proper tendons and produce sufficient force. Muscle development is a multi-step process: myoblasts proliferate, migrate to particular locations and fuse to myotubes. Myotubes target appropriate tendons to establish a stable ...

A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

Ultra high performance MALDI mass spectrometer for basic research use and clinical applications (EuroMALDI)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Mass spectrometry is an analytical science covering the multiple fields of chemistry, physics and biology. Each world has its specific needs and ways of producing and analysing samples. The world of clinical proteomics is complex since it involves a close interaction between doctors and hospital practitioners, not mass spectrometrists by nature, and analytical scientists. Several SMEs already ente ...
