[PROJECT] MITIN - INTEGRATION OF THE SYSTEM MODELS OF INSULIN SIGNALLING AND OF MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE STUDY OF COMPLEX DISEASES
ID: 223450
Start date: 2008-11-01, End date: 2011-10-31
A common trait to disorders such as type 2 diabetes or obesity is the development of insulin resistance. There is evidence indicating the existence of a bidirectional cross-talk between insulin signalling and mitochondrial function that may be relevant for the pathogenesis of...

[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] RADON EPIDEMIOLOGY - Study of lung cancer risk and residential radon exposure
ID: FIGH-CT-1999-00008
Start date: 2000-03-01, End date: 2005-02-28
Epidemiological studies of underground miners have shown that exposure to radon and radon progeny increases the risk of lung cancer. However, there are uncertainties in using these data to estimate the risk associated with radon exposure in dwellings. In contrast, information ...

[PROJECT] LOWDOSERISK - International collaborative study of cancer risk among radiation workers in the nuclear industry
ID: FIGH-CT-1999-20001
Start date: 2002-08-01, End date: 2005-01-31
Radiation protection standards are mainly based on the follow-up of atomic bomb survivors and medically irradiated persons. The use of these data to predict cancer risk from protracted low doses involves uncertain extrapolations. Occupational cohort studies, such as the Intern...
