A systems biology approach to dissect cilia function and its disruption in human genetic disease (SYSCILIA)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,
AIM: To identify the molecular mechanisms characterizing cilium function, and the discrete perturbations associated with dysfunction caused by mutations in inherited ciliopathies, applying a systems biology approach. BACKGROUND: Cilia are microtubule-based, centriole-derived projections from the cell surface. They transduce extracellular signals and regulate key processes in which signals of the e ...

Research capacity for the implementation of genetic control of mosquitoes (INFRAVEC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
Mosquitoes transmit a variety of infectious diseases that cause a tremendous burden to public health. Due to climate changes and to the increase in international trade and tourism the threats posed by mosquitoes are increasingly affecting large parts of Europe, causing understandable concerns among the populations of many Member States. Control methods, mainly based on insecticide usage, are strug ...

Restoring Mueller glia cell – photoreceptor interactions with Crumbs (CRUMBS IN SIGHT)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,
"Mutations in the Crumbs homologue 1 (CRB1) gene cause photoreceptor degeneration resulting in progressive retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), which both currently are untreatable blinding diseases. CRB1 is localized in Mueller glia cells at a subapical region (SAR) adjacent to adherens junctions between Mueller glia cells and photoreceptors. Loss of CRB1 function result ...

Weather Stations
Start date: Nov 24, 2013,
Weather Stations harnesses the transformative power and vision of literature to explore in the context of climate change how, as European and global citizens, we might live our lives differently. Weather Stations in Poland, Germany, UK, Ireland and Australia will host a Writer in Residence programme, providing the creative heart to the project from which a range of activities for artists, activist ...
