[PROJECT] E3 - E3 - Extreme Event Ecology
ID: 282250
Start date: 2012-01-01, End date: 2016-12-31
"With anthropogenic warming, extreme events have already increased in magnitude and frequency and are likely to continue to do so in the near future. These extreme events play decisive roles in climate change impacts. Natural and managed systems, such as agriculture and fores...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - E3 (E3 - Extreme Event Ecology)
With global warming, extreme events are very likely to change in intensity and/or frequency and location. The successfully answered leading question of E3 (Extreme Event Ecology) was how (physical) extreme events translate into (biological) extreme impacts. The assessed...

[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...

Severe birth asphyxia (BA) is a life-threatening condition of the newborn, with an annual death rate of a million neonates globally. It is typically caused by compromised umbilical/placental functions during complicated delivery which leads to a fall in the oxygen level and...

[PROJECT] PLANTIMMUSYS - The Plant Immune System: a multidisciplinary approach to uncover how plants simultaneously deal with beneficial and parasitic organisms to maximize profits and protection
ID: 269072
Start date: 2011-03-01, End date: 2017-02-28
In nature, plants live in complex environments in which they are attacked by a multitude of pathogens and pests. In agriculture this leads to tremendous annual crop losses, representing a value of over 450 billion worldwide. Beneficial associations between plants and other or...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - CRYOPRESERVATION (Improved Cryopreservation using Ice Binding Proteins)
Cryopreservation is the use of low temperatures to preserve biological samples. The ability to store biological materials without damaging them has taken on increasing importance in the face of a shortage of organs for transplantation. While preservation by freezing seems...

[PROJECT] CRYOPRESERVATION - Improved Cryopreservation using Ice Binding Proteins
ID: 281595
Start date: 2011-11-01, End date: 2016-10-31
Several organisms have evolved specialized ice binding proteins (IBPs) that prevent their body fluids from freezing (antifreeze proteins, AFPs), inhibit recrystallization of ice in frozen tissues, or initiate freezing at moderate supercooling temperatures (ice nucleating prot...

[PROJECT] THE METAENDOMATRIX - THE ENDOCYTIC AND CYTOSKELETAL MATRIX IN THE PLASTICITY OF TUMOR CELL INVASION AND MIGRATION
ID: 268836
Start date: 2011-08-01, End date: 2016-07-31
"Tumor cells can adopt different modes of cell motility. The ability to switch between diverse modes of migration enables tumors to adapt to micro-environmental conditions and to metastasize. The critical pathways and cellular processes underlying the plasticity of tumor cell...
