Investigating the roles of the mitochondrial alternative oxidase of Ciona intestinalis (Alternative Oxidase)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Feb 11, 2016,

The respiratory chain alternative enzymes constitute additional pathways to the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, in which oxygen consumption is uncoupled from ATP production. In contrast to the majority of eukaryotic organisms, including other invertebrate animals, vertebrates and arthropods lack any such alternative pathway. However, the expression of alternative oxidases ...

CAncer Risk and INsulin analoGues (CARING)

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

"Several studies have linked the use of insulins to the risk of cancer, and it is certainly plausible that as a growth factor, exposure to administered insulin could stimulate neoplastic growth. However, the meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials comparing different insulin analogues were too small to quantify the risks, especially the proportion of patients that were followed for more than ...

Development of reference methods for hazard identification, risk assessment and LCA of engineered nanomaterials (NANOVALID)

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

The growing development, production and use of engineered nanomaterials and associated products will increase exposure of both humans and ecosystems to these new materials. However, current knowledge is still incomplete and established test methods are as yet inappropriate to reliably assess the extent of exposure and risk of materials at the nano-scale. There is an urgent need to develop methods ...

Nanotechnology based cochlear implant with gapless interface to auditory neurons (NANOCI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Over 60 million of citizens in the EU suffer from hearing loss with its associated restrictions. In severe cases, hearing can only be restored by surgically implanting a neuroprosthesis called cochlear implant, which directly stimulates the auditory nerve.The bottleneck for optimal stimulation is caused by the anatomical gap between the electrode array and the auditory neurons in the inner ear. As ...

Biomimiking the brain - towards 3D neuronal network dynamics (3DNeuroN)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Our view is that the biological and computational components and the concepts of realized BIO-ICT interactions have lacked so far the complexity of the actual high level biological neural systems. Our vision is that three key features are needed for biological computational neuronal networks: 1. Actual 3D structures of neuronal cells and networks, 2. interactions between various types of neuronal ...
