NEURAL TRANSPLANTATION IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE (TRANSEURO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
There are currently no cures for Parkinson's disease (PD) but one of the most effective reparative therapies in patients to date has been with allotransplants of dopamine (DA) neuroblasts obtained from fetal ventral mesencephalic (VM) tissue. However, this cell transplantation approach has given inconsistent results, with some patients doing extremely well and coming off anti-PD medication for yea ...

European Obesity Consortium studying the Hypothalamus and its Interaction with Peripheral organs (EurOCHIP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The past decade has seen tremendous progress in our understanding of homeostatic regulators controlling energy balance. Insights from human and murine genetics have illuminated multiples pathways within the hypothalamus, brainstem and higher brain regions that play a key role in the control of food intake, whilst physiological studies focusing on the gastrointestinal tract have revealed a panoply ...

NASAL VACCINATION AGAINST RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN YOUNG CHILDREN (CHILD-INNOVAC)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
"Respiratory infections are the most frequent cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many respiratory pathogens no vaccine is available, for others classical immunisations remain insufficiently effective. This project concerns the development of novel, nasal vaccines against two major respiratory pathogens, B. pertussis and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). No vaccine is yet av ...

Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate (MACC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"MACC (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate) is designed to meet the requirements that have been expressed for the pilot Core GMES Atmospheric Service. The project has been prepared by the consortia of the FP6 project GEMS and the GSE project PROMOTE, whose core service lines will provide the starting point for MACC. From mid-2009 MACC will continue, improve, extend, integrate and valida ...
