OLIGOPEPTIDASE INHIBITORS IN BRAIN FUNCTION AND DYSFUNCTION: TOWARDS NEW THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES FOR NEUROPROTECTION (NEUROPRO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"At present more than 5 million people in the EU suffer from dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases and that number will grow as the average age of the population continues to increase. The efficacy of current medicines is limited and new therapeutic targets are sorely needed. Several independent lines of evidence have established an important role of prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) in brain f ...

Biofunctionalized Metal and Magnetic Nanoparticles for Targeted Tumor Therapy (NANO3T)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

The cause of diseases is often unknown, but their origin can frequently be found at the biomolecular and cellular level situated on nm-scale. Early diagnostics combined with early intervention on that nanoscale is one of the holy grail of modern medicine. Inorganic nanoparticles are very promising agents in that respect. One of the promising biomedical applications of these nanoparticles is their ...

On-chip simultaneous intracellular recording and stimulation of electrical and biochemical activities from hundreds of neurons (BRAIN STORM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

In the BRAINSTORM project, we aim to develop an integrated system enabling on-chip intracellular recordings from a relatively large cultured neuronal network combined with chemical sensing and intracellular delivery of biologically active molecules. To achieve tight coupling with the cell membrane and enable efficient recordings, micronail-type probes will be integrated with a CMOS readout circuit ...
