Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR): Therapeutics for Non-Communicable Diseases (CaSR Biomedicine)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is a class C Gprotein-coupled receptor that plays a pivotal role in systemic calcium metabolism by regulating parathyroid hormone secretion and urinary Ca excretion. Abnormal CaSR function is implicated in calciotropic disorders, and in non-calciotropic disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes (DM), sarcopenia and cancer ...

Functionalities of Bismuth based nanostructures (BisNano)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The aim of the present project is to explore the properties and possible applications of bismuth and bismuth based compounds when they are synthesized at the nanometric scale. This approach is motivated by the uncommon but advantageous properties of bismuth which, in part, have been exploited for many years. However, there are many unexplored possibilities and with the advent of nanotechnology new ...
