Development of a systems biomedicine approach for risk identification, prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DSystems)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major public health problem, affecting 55 million European citizens. T2D ensues in individuals who develop a progressive pancreatic beta cell failure. T2D probably comprises a heterogeneous group of diseases. A new molecular taxonomy of T2D is essential for the development of medical care that is predictive, preventive and personalized. Currently available T2D therapies ...

Development of novel treatment strategies based on knowledge of cellular dysfunction in diabetes (BetaBat)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
A reduction in functional pancreatic beta cell mass is the key feature of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Beta cell failure is exacerbated in the context of obesity and insulin resistance. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a highly metabolic organ, mediating energy dissipation and glucose disposal, thus contributing to maintain energy balance. BAT dysfunction contributes to obesity and impaired glucose me ...
