Obiettivo Thrombotic occlusion of atherosclerotic coron arteries is the common cause of acute myocardial infarction, and platelet-dependent thrombotic diseases are the first cause of death in the Westem Society. The general objective of this joint research project is to establish a highly competitive open- wall research and training infrastructure in thrombosis, based on the complementary expertise of 7 leading European laboratories, who have combined their efforts in a multidisciplinary approach to(a) investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying blood-platelet interactions with the vasculature,(b ) develop cell-type and receptor specific antagonists that will prevent uncontrolled platelet adhesion events leading to cardiovascular diseases, and(c) use state-of -the-art real time technologies to assess the efficiency of these antagonists in flowing blood conditions in vitro and in vivo.At the scientific level, our objectives are(1) to define the three-dimensional structural requirements necessary for the interaction of major prothrombogenic matrix proteins such as collagen and vWF with their respective receptors (integrins alpha2Beta1 and alphaIIBeta3, GPIb), using recombinant proteins for cocrystallisation experiments and atomic force microscopy analysis;(2) to design and synthesize small triple helical collagen-derived peptides as collagen mimetics;(3) to identify new receptor antagonists by screening parasite extracts and parasite-derived cDNA expression libraries, peptide and antibody display libraries;(4) to use platelet proteomics and MALDI- TOF technology to identify new intracellular integrin receptor ligands as potential targets for anti-thrombotic drug development, and(5) to generate new prothrombotic mice models through transgenic knock-in technology. A major objective of this network is to offer young predoctoral and postdoctoral EU-scientists high quality training in a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art technologies applied to cardio Campo scientifico medical and health sciencesbasic medicinepharmacology and pharmacydrug discoverynatural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculesproteinsproteomicsmedical and health sciencesclinical medicineangiologyvascular diseasesnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticsmicroscopymedical and health sciencesclinical medicinecardiologycardiovascular diseases Programma(i) FP5-HUMAN POTENTIAL - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Improving the human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base" (1998-2002) Argomento(i) Data not available Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento NET - Research network contracts Coordinatore INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Rue du Général Leclerc 84 94276 LE KREMLIM BICETRE Francia Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (6) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto CENTRE DE RECHERCHE PUBLIC DE LA SANTE Lussemburgo Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 162 A,Avenue de la Faiencerie 162 A, Centre Universitair 1511 LUXEMBOURG Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN Belgio Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 53,E.
