[PROJECT] PRESSBIRTH - Arginine vasopressin and ion transporters in the modulation of brain excitability during birth and birth asphyxia seizures
ID: 341116
Start date: 2014-02-01, End date: 2019-01-31
A transient period of asphyxia in the newborn is an obligatory part of normal parturition. A more prolonged disturbance in cerebral blood supply is a major cause of neonatal seizures. Current therapies of birth asphyxia seizures are ineffective and the underlying mechanisms a...

[PROJECT] SYSCOL - Systems Biology of Colorectal Cancer
ID: 258236
Start date: 2011-01-01, End date: 2015-12-31
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in both males and females, and it is perhaps the best understood of all epithelial tumors in terms of its molecular origin. Yet, despite large amount of work that has concentrated on understanding of colon tumorigenesi...

[PROJECT] BETAIMAGE - Use of innovative strategies for beta-cell imaging in diabetes mellitus
ID: 222980
Start date: 2008-10-01, End date: 2013-03-31
The development of sensitive, non-invasive methods for the characterisation and quantification of beta-cell mass would greatly enhance our means for gaining understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes and allow the development of novel therapies to prevent, halt and reve...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - METABOMIT (Metabolic consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction)
The MetaboMIT project aimed to discover the consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction for metabolism in different tissues. Our evidence indicates that mitochondria are in tight communication with nutrient intake, and that this communication is guided by B-vitamins, especially...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Mid-Term Report Summary - NEAR-INFRARED PROBES (Near-infrared fluorescent probes based on bacterial phytochromes for in vivo imaging)
Near-infrared fluorescent probes are superior for deep-tissue and whole-body imaging of animals because of reduced autofluorescence, low light-scattering and minimal absorbance of hemoglobin, melanin and water in the near-infrared spectral region. The goal of our project is to...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - MAARS (Microbes in Allergy and Autoimmunity Related to the Skin)
Evidence is accumulating that infections and dysbiosis of the human microbiota may critically modulate the development of allergy and autoimmunity. Although the concepts are intriguing, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Our overall goal has...
