Lipid droplets as dynamic organelles of fat deposition and release: Translational research towards human disease (LipidomicNet)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Lipids are central to the regulation and control of cellular processes by acting as basic building units for biomembranes, the platforms for the vast majority of cellular functions. Recent developments in lipid mass spectrometry have set the scene for a completely new way to understand the composition of membranes, cells and tissues in space and time by allowing the precise identification and quan ...

"DIAbetes type 1 PRediction, Early Pathogenesis and Prevention" (DIAPREPP)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
"The earliest currently identifiable process in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is the development of autoimmunity to islet beta cells in the form of autoantibodies. Hindering attempts to prevent autoimmune T1D, the aetiology and pathogenesis of the islet auto-immunization, including whether it is preceded by metabolic abnormalities and cell-mediated autoimmunity, is still poorly underst ...
