Stem-cell based therapy for kidney repair (STELLAR)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 8% of the European population and ultimately results in renal failure due to progressive fibrosis. CDK carries a high mortality risk and the number of affected people rises, increasing the demand on renal replacement therapies while the number of available donor organs stays stable.The STELLAR consortium proposes to develop an alternative to renal replacement ...

Systems biology towards novel chronic kidney disease diagnosis and treatment (SysKID)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 10% of the population. Besides eventual progression towards end stage renal disease CKD impacts the patient’s quality of life by causing serious comorbidities including cardiovascular complications and bone metabolism disorders. On the everyday clinical level early stage diagnosis and tailored treatment of CKD are still inadequate. In addition, CKD seems ...
