First Targeted Therapy to FIGHT Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH): A novel approach to HLH (FIGHT-HLH)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, devastating disease characterized by uncontrolled immune response that primarily affects young infants and children. HLH is usually fatal if untreated. Even when treated, the overall survival rate is still as low as 60-70%. No drug has been formally developed for the treatment of this disease and current treatment methods require the use of drugs ...

"The Singlet Oxygen Strategy: sustainable oxidation procedures for applications in material science, synthesis, wastewater treatment, diagnostics and therapeutics" (SO2S)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"The SO2S network seeks to exploit Singlet Oxygen (1O2) as a green and benign oxidant for use in novel synthetic methodologies, crosslinking strategies, bioconjugation procedures and materials production. The chemistry described herein generates the means to both understand and influence biological systems by providing probes and reagents – from analytical methods to new drugs - and to modulate ma ...

The Urban Sound Planner (SONORUS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Traffic noise pollution in urban areas is a major environmental problem within the European Union. Creating an acceptable acoustic outdoor environment is a big challenge of high need. Creating as well as preserving environments, which are supportive for health and well-being in a sustainable manner is an even bigger but unavoidable task. In order to succeed, specialists are required with a broad ...

Cavity Quantum Optomechanics (cQOM)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

Over the past year a new research field has emerged: cavity Optomechanics which brings the quantum regime of mechanical oscillators in reach and may allow to explore new fundamental measurements concepts, may lead to novel transducers and test quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale. In this research field, which utilizes mechanical oscillators coupled to laser fields, Europe has played a pioneer ...

TargetIng novel MEchanisms of Resolution in inflammation (TIMER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Resolution of inflammation is a key determinant of pathology, and an active process which involves diverse pathways and molecules. The general objective of the TIMER Consortium is to identify and validate new molecules involved in the resolution of inflammation as a basis for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The project will invo ...

Development of reference methods for hazard identification, risk assessment and LCA of engineered nanomaterials (NANOVALID)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The growing development, production and use of engineered nanomaterials and associated products will increase exposure of both humans and ecosystems to these new materials. However, current knowledge is still incomplete and established test methods are as yet inappropriate to reliably assess the extent of exposure and risk of materials at the nano-scale. There is an urgent need to develop methods ...

Regenerating Bone defects using New biomedical Engineering approaches (REBORNE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Bone is among the most frequently transplanted tissue with about 1 million procedures annually in Europe. The worldwide market of bone replacement materials is currently estimated at 5 billion € with a 10% annual growth. Despite their considerable disadvantages, including the risk of disease transfer and immunologic rejection, limited supply of bone, costs and complications, allografts and autogra ...

Clean European Rail - Diesel (CleanER-D)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

The study of CER, UNIFE, UIC and Euromot of the railway and engine manufacturing industries concluded on a risk of disruptive effect of the NRMM Directive application on the railway diesel vehicle supply market, leading to a possible risk of a partial modal shift from rail to road on regional passenger lines and freight transportation specialized routes, with even foreseeable consequences on the o ...

Intelligent Mold for Productivity Enhancement (Mold4ProdE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The constant demand for diversified/personalised consumers' goods leads to decrease time-to-market, and to plastic injection molds with smaller batch production, with no stock acceptable for cost and quality reasons. This generates huge productivity losses in the molding industry: - Tool Tuning is too long for tool makers before delivery of a turn key mold. - New production run set-up time is too ...

Pemphigus - From autoimmunity to disease (Pemphigus)

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

Pemphigus is a potentially lethal bullous disease of the skin and mucosa and may be considered as a paradigmatic organ-specific autoimmune disease due to 1) its well-defined autoantigens, 2) the knowledge of critical events of its immune pathogenesis and 3) the reproducibility of major clinical and pathogenic features in suitable animal models. Overall, understanding the etiopathogenesis of pemphi ...
