Re-design of the dairy industry for sustainable milk processing (SUSMILK)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Industrial food production serves to satisfy basic human needs and the dairy industry accounts with 13% turnover for the total food and drink industry in Europe. The aim of the project SUSMILK is to initialise a system change within the whole process chain for market milk and milk products to minimise energy and water consumption and establish renewable energy resources. Milk processing is charact ...

Psychosocial Factors and Cardiovascular Disease in Spain (PSYCHO CARDIO SPAIN)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
"The study of the possible associations of psychosocial factors as job strain, depression, social support and stress, with the development, treatment and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a promising research field. Job strain and depression are highly prevalent conditions, and CVD remains to be the first cause of death in most countries around the world. Nevertheless, only a few cardio ...

LEUKOCYTE MICRODOMAINS AND PLATELET INTERACTIONS IN THROMBO-INFLAMMATORY INJURY (LEMPIT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"During the inflammatory response, leukocytes accumulate in the vascular lumen and undergo a morphological and molecular polarization characterized by the formation of discrete domains (a leading edge and an uropod) that allows their directional migration. We aim to understand how and when this polarization originates, as well as the endothelial signals that induce it under physiological condition ...

NOTCH SIGNALING IN DEVELOPMENT AND PATHOLOGY (NotchIT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Eight partners from six different EU countries will converge in NotchIT, a multi-site ITN aimed to increase the knowledge of cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Notch signaling regulates the development and pathology of different tissues. Notch signaling plays a key role in cell-fate determination and differentiation of various cell types and aberrant Notch signaling is associated with path ...

Role of Calcineurin alternative splicing variant CnAbeta1 in stem cell biology and cardiac development (CARDEB1)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"The heart is the first organ to form and it is essential for blood distribution during embryogenesis. Congenital heart malformations are the most common birth defect in humans, present in 1 % of the human population worldwide. The calcineurin splicing variant CnAbeta1 is expressed in stem cells, precursors and developing tissues and its expression decreases during tissue maturation. We aim to det ...
