Novel immunotherapies for type 1 diabetes (NAIMIT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

This proposal will pioneer the concept of tailored interventions with minimal immune system interference in new onset T1DM, leading to beta-cell protection and restoration, based on a solid understanding of the disease pathogenesis. This will enable experimental findings to be adopted for future clinical application. Four work packages are grouped around ‘Reversal of autoimmunity’, in which two ke ...

Learning from International Networks about Errors and Understanding Safety in Primary Care (LINNEAUS EURO -PC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

There is a deficit in activity related to patient safety in primary care and the primary care/secondary care interface in Europe. This deficit relates to research, to sharing of information, to learning and to collaboration.This co-ordination action will specifically address issues addressed in the call through: (1)The development of a taxonomy of adverse events and errors. (2) Identifying best cl ...

Angiogenesis-inducing Bioactive and Bioresponsive Scaffolds in Tissue Enginering (AngioScaff)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Angiogenesis underlies almost all biological processes of morphogenesis, including those in tissue repair and regeneration. Physiological angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interplay between cells and their environment: the extracellular matrix (ECM) provides signaling via numerous ECM adhesion molecules and growth factors bound to ECM polysaccharide components; and cells locally degrade and ...

Pathophysiology and natural course of autoimmune adrenal failure in Europe (Euradrenal)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) is an endocrine disease resulting from the immune system’s destruction of hormone producing cells in the adrenal cortex. Diagnosis is frequently first established after a life-threatening adrenal crisis, often resulting in untimely fatalities. The disease is rare, more common in women than in men, and also affects children. AAD very frequently occurs with other a ...

Developing and validating disease management evaluation methods for European health care systems (DISMEVAL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Chronic health conditions that impose a heavy burden on society and account for a large share of health care costs. Better prevention and management could potentially decrease costs and improve quality of care and health outcomes. An important means of accomplishing these goals is through the use of disease management (DM) interventions that educate patients about prevention and health management ...

"European Networks of Centres of Expertise for CF (Cystic Fibrosis), LAM (Lymphangioleiomyomatosis), and LTX (Lung Transplantation)" (ENCE-CF-LAM-LTX)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

"European Centres of Expertise Networks for rare diseases have been identified by the European Commission as one important area of future activity in the attempt of achieving one of the main objectives across the EC endeavour of “Optimising the delivery of health care to European Citizens”. It is obvious that especially in rare diseases the joined forces of the experts networking throughout Europe ...
