NOX enzymes as mediators of inflammation-triggered neurodegeneration: modulating NOX enzymes as novel therapies (NEURINOX)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

NEURINOX aims at elucidating the role of NADPH oxidases (NOX) in neuroinflammation and its progression to neurodegenerative diseases (ND), as well as evaluating the potential of novel ND therapeutics approaches targeting NOX activity. NOX generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and have emerged as regulators of neuroinflammation. Their role is complex: ROS generated by NOX lead to tissue damage in ...

Analysis and Modelling of Multi-wavelength Observational Data from Protoplanetary Discs (DISCANALYSIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"The search for planets outside of the solar system, related to the question ""are we alone in the universe?"", is undoubtedly one of the main science drivers for the current design of telescopes and astronomical instrumentation. In this FP7 project, we will study the birth-places of such exo-planets, the so-called protoplanetary discs, by combining multi-wavelength space data (HERSCHEL, XMM, HST, ...

HEMatopoietic cell IDentity : genetic and epigenetic regulation in normal and malignant hematopoiesis (HEM_ID)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

In hematopoiesis, failure to maintain homeostasis and regenerative functions result in a multitude of hematological malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes, lymphomas and leukemias, that represent a medical challenge and a large socioeconomic burden because of the large number of affected patients of all age groups. Although hierarchical organization of the hematopoietic system has been ...

Changing Permafrost in the Arctic and its Global Effects in the 21st Century (PAGE21)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Permafrost is defined as ground that remains continuously at or below 0°C for at least two consecutive years; some 24% of the land surface in the northern Hemisphere is classified as permafrost. In the Northern high latitudes, strong warming has been observed over the recent decades, and climate models project strong future warming. A projected decline in the extent of permafrost will have a major ...

Mont-Blanc, European scalable and power efficient HPC platform based on low-power embedded technology (Mont-Blanc)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

There is a continued need for higher compute performance: scientific grand challenges, engineering, geophysics, bioinformatics, etc. However, energy is increasingly becoming one of the most expensive resources and the dominant cost item for running a large supercomputing facility. In fact the total energy cost of a few years of operation can almost equal the cost of the hardware infrastructure. En ...

Future INternet for Smart ENergY (FINSENY)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The energy sector has entered a period of major change which will continue for many years to come. The increasing proportion of electricity from renewable sources means that the architecture of the energy grid will have to support the distributed, in addition to the centralised, generation of energy and to adapt to a highly volatile supply e.g. from wind and solar generators. From the consumption ...
