A Unified Approach to Evaluating Cellular Immunotherapy in Solid Organ Transplantation (THE ONE STUDY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Preventing immunological rejection of transplanted organs without the need for long-term use of pharmacological immunosuppression is a primary objective in transplantation medicine. Reducing the need for immunosuppression would dramatically improve the outcome for transplant recipients and reduce health costs for society. The means to achieve this goal has not been realised with pharmacological or ...

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 ...

Advanced Teaching and TRaining for Adoptive Cell Therapy (ATTRACT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Considerable resources are devoted to fighting cancer throughout Europe, yet these efforts are not producing the results that health practitioners and citizens might expect. This is partly due to the fragmentation and duplication of research efforts within Member states and the lack of co-ordination at European level. However it can also be attributed to the need to retain and most importantly dev ...

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 ...

Axonal regeneration, plasticity & stem cells (AXREGEN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

This is a multi-disciplinary training programme focussed on the experimental and clinical problems associated with axonal damage and repair in the central nervous system. This is a central feature of a wide variety of disorders of the CNS. Future advances in this area depend on training a cohort of young researches with multiple skills. The programme encompasses ten academic and two commercial org ...

Set up and comparison of multiple stem cell approaches for kidney repair (STAR-T REK)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"With the increasing rate of end-stage renal failure and limited alternatives for its treatment, potential regenerative approaches for kidney damages are urgently needed. Because of the complexity of the organ, the development of stem cell therapies for kidney is still in its infancy. Identifying which cell types are capable of beneficial effects is the critical step required to realize the potent ...
