Neuroprotection in the retina

Objective

In the ageing population, the morbidity from blinding retinal neurodegenerations belongs to the most feared limitations of life quality. Blindness occurs in the main conditions i.e. glaucoma, alchemic diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degeneration as a consequence of both specific and common pathways leading to retinal cell, mainly neuronal, loss. The global objective of PRORET is therefore the development of therapeutic strategies aiming at blocking the cell death process triggered by genetic mutations or the alchemic process. The scientific and technical objectives of the PRORET project are: to identify and characterise factors and mechanisms involved in retinal degeneration as a basis for the development of rational therapeutic approaches; to design methods for therapeutic intervention and, as a perquisite, for further develop models for retinal degeneration.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
