Conservative iron chelation as a disease-modifying strategy in Parkinson’s disease: a multicentric, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial of deferiprone (FAIR-PARK-II)
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2020,
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a major, chronic, non-communicable disease and the 2nd most frequent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Excess iron is primarily detected in the substantia nigra pars compacta, where dopaminergic neurons are exposed to high levels of oxidative stress produced by mitochondrial disorders and dopamine metabolism. Our previous preclinical, translational and pilot clinica ...

Integrative Analysis of Gene Functions in Cellular and Animal Models of Pancreatic Cancer (CAM-PAC)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
Cancers are genetic disease arising from the accumulation of multiple molecular alterations in affected cells. Large-scale genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have established comprehensive catalogues of molecules which are altered in their structure and/or abundance in malignant tumors as compared to healthy tissues. Far less developed are concepts and methods to integrate data from di ...

Preparedness, Prediction and Prevention of Emerging Zoonotic Viruses with Pandemic Potential using Multidisciplinary Approaches (PREDEMICS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The capacity of zoonotic RNA viruses to emerge as major agents of human disease can appear limitless. Current intervention strategies have demonstrated limited success. Rapid, innovative and effective solutions are needed to reduce the apparently accelerating process of zoonotic disease emergence. We will study the following zoonotic viruses with epidemic potential in Europe: influenza virus, hepa ...

European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumours - Structuring clinical research on adrenal cancers in adults (ENS@T-CANCER)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
Among patients with adrenal masses Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) and malignant pheochromocytomas (MPH) are found with a low incidence but very unfavorable prognosis. Due to this poor clinical outcome, concomitant hormone dysregulation and limited treatment options the two cancer entities severely impact on affected patients. However, the rarity of the tumors also impedes clinical studies which ar ...

Towards eco-energetic communities (TWECOM)
Start date: May 11, 2011, End date: Dec 30, 2015,
The aim of the project is to valorize the up till now unused biomass from landscape elements in a sustainable way for heat and energy production on local scale. Landscape elements like hedgerows for example have had economic functions in the past and are typical for a large part of NW-Europe. In the 20th century this economic use disappeared. Landscape elements disappeared for this reason in many ...

The European Network for Translational Research in Atrial Fibrillation (EUTRAF)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
"The initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF) can be regarded as a complication of a progressive transformation of the structure and functional properties of the atria. This transformation is the result of complex and multiple changes at the molecular, cellular and organ levels which interact to form the basis for proarrhythmic mechanisms in AF. Numerous individual and environmental ...

European Research Infrastructure on Highly Pathogenic Agents (ERINHA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
In the context of the emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases involving highly pathogenic microorganisms, European countries have to be well-prepared to face such threats. However, the Biosafety Level 4 (BSL4) capacity in Europe is not sufficient enough to cover the efficient development of diagnosis, prophylactic and therapeutics means against these pathogens. Moreover, there is no global co ...

Targeting the tumour microenvironment to improve pancreatic cancer prognosis (EPC-TM-Net)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal human cancers with a five-year survival rate of less than 5%. Late presentation and a high level of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs are among the major reasons for this dismal prognosis. The presence of the highest degree of desmoplasia among all solid tumours and the fact that chronic inflammatory pancreatic disease is associated with an increased ...

Good Practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine Research in the Post-genomic Era (GP-TCM)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"In contrast to the reductionist approach of Western medicine that is based on modern anatomy, cell and molecular biology, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses a unique theory system and an individualised and holistic approach to describe health and disease, based on the philosophy of Yin-Yang balance and an emphasis on harmony of functions. These two medicine systems disagree with each other i ...
