Prostate cancer: profiling and evaluation of ncRNA (ProspeR)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
Annually, over 200 000 new prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in Europe. This number is expected to further increase due to widespread use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests on asymptomatic men and an aging population. This leads to high rate of over-detection, where most cases will never experience cancer symptoms during their lifetime. Hence, our current lack of means to predict prostate ...

Role of Lgi and Adam proteins in nerve development and function (ELANSCI)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
"Schwann cells (SC) are the most important accessory cells to neurons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and are involved in every aspect of nerve structure, function and regeneration. Dr Meijer’s group has identified a novel SC expressed factor, Lgi4, involved in nerve development and function. The Lgi4 gene is mutated in a natural mouse mutant called Claw Paw, which exhibits delayed axonal s ...
