Targeting challenges of active ageing: innovative integrated strategies for the healing of age-related hearing loss (TARGEAR)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"Worldwide, 278 million people are estimated to have moderate to profound hearing loss. Age-related hearing loss, also known as presbyacusis, affects approximately half of the population over 60 years old, making it the second most common cause of disability in older people. There is no restorative treatment for deafness but functional replacement by means of prosthesis. Therefore, prevention and ...

A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

A pan-European infrastructure for quality in nanomaterials safety testing (QUALITYNANO)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
Nanoscale objects interact with living organisms in a fundamentally new manner, ensuring that a fruitful marriage of nanotechnology and biology will long outlast short term imperatives. Therefore, investment in an infrastructure to drive scientific knowledge of the highest quality will have both immediate benefits of supporting the safety assessment of legacy nanomaterials, as well as pointing tow ...

"BIOactive highly porous and injectable Scaffolds controlling stem cell recruitment, proliferation and differentiation and enabling angiogenesis for Cardiovascular ENgineered Tissues" (BIOSCENT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Congenital and acquired diseases of the heart are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world today; 7.2 million people die each year due to coronary heart disease, being the first cause of mortality in population above 60 years old, and the second cause after HIV in world wide young population. There is an urgent demand for new methods to repair and replace damaged cardiovascular ...

Innovative Techniques and Models to Study Glia-Neuron Interactions (EdU-GLIA)
Start date: Sep 15, 2009, End date: Sep 14, 2013,
It became evident over the last 20 years that glial cells are involved in virtually every aspect of nervous system function. Neurons and glia exchange chemical signals that are essential for the normal function of the nervous system, and are crucial in disease. Recently it was discovered that glial cells also act as neural stem cells both in early development and adulthood, and in synapse formatio ...

Axonal regeneration, plasticity & stem cells (AXREGEN)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
This is a multi-disciplinary training programme focussed on the experimental and clinical problems associated with axonal damage and repair in the central nervous system. This is a central feature of a wide variety of disorders of the CNS. Future advances in this area depend on training a cohort of young researches with multiple skills. The programme encompasses ten academic and two commercial org ...
