[PROJECT] PLAT4M - Photonic Libraries And Technology for Manufacturing
ID: 318178
Start date: 2012-10-01, End date: 2017-03-31
Silicon with its mature integration platform has brought electronic circuits to mass-market applications - our vision is that silicon photonics will follow this revolution. Over the last years silicon photonics has seen a tremendous increase in research output, leading to com...

[PROJECT] PASSAM - Passive and Active Systems on Severe Accident source term Mitigation
ID: 323217
Start date: 2013-01-01, End date: 2016-12-31
In case of a severe accident in a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) fission products are released from the degraded fuel and might reach the environment if their confinement is lost and/or bypassed. Given the high radio-toxic nature of fission products for environment and population,...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Roles of telomeric chromatin in malignant transformation
Recent evidence has associated telomere instability to oncogenesis but the mechanisms and the significance for human cancers remains elusive. To explore the ability of telomere dysfunction to promote neoplastic transformation in defined human cellular systems, Eric Gilson and ...

Chromosome fusions are observed with high frequency in cells with defects in components of the standard pathway of DNA double strand break repair which suggests the operation of an alternative repair pathway that is capable of joining together eroded telomeric sequences when t...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Radio-sensitivity, DNA repair and biology of telomeres in radiosensitive individuals
Fanconi anemia (FA) patients show accelerated telomere shortening. In order to get further insights in to the role of the FA pathway in telomere biology, Jordi Surralles and his team studied whether FANCD2, a key downstream factor in this pathway, binds to telomeres. They inve...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Link between telomere maintenance & DNA damage response mechanisms, and their role of individual radio-sensitivity. Insights on action of BRCA1 gene
Telomeres are physical ends of chromosomes responsible for chromosomal end protection. There is a strong inter-dependence between telomere maintenance and cellular mechanisms that regulate DNA damage response. At least 17 mammalian genes involved in DNA damage response have, s...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Double strand break repair functions and gene amplification
It is known that DNA-PKcs is a key protein for the repair of DSBs through the NHEJ pathway and that DSBs can initiate gene amplification. The results obtained by Elena Giulotto and Chiara Mondello indicate that in human cells an impairment in DNA-PKcs function increases the pr...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Telomere and whole genome tri-dimensional reconstruction of inter-phase nuclei architecture in response to ionising radiation
Jordi Surralles' objective was to study the architecture of the inter-phase nuclei from the telomere perspective and it response to ionising radiation. He found that telomeres have a defined 3D distribution pattern inside the interphase nucleus that is independent of histone H...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Mouse models of telomerase overexpression
In the past, Maria Blasco and her team (partner CNIO) have shown that the telomerase reverse transcriptase component (Tert) may favour growth and survival independently of telomere length maintenance. They have generated two mouse models that over-express Tert under the kerati...
