Innovative Techniques and Models to Study Glia-Neuron Interactions (EdU-GLIA)
Start date: Sep 15, 2009, End date: Sep 14, 2013,
It became evident over the last 20 years that glial cells are involved in virtually every aspect of nervous system function. Neurons and glia exchange chemical signals that are essential for the normal function of the nervous system, and are crucial in disease. Recently it was discovered that glial cells also act as neural stem cells both in early development and adulthood, and in synapse formatio ...

Development of culture conditions for the differentiation of hES cells into hepatocytes (LIV-ES)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
"The liver is associated with many types of diseases which can only be treated by Orthotopic liver transplants. However, shortage of organ donors represents a major limitation for wide-application of this therapy. Additionally, expansion of fully-functional hepatocytes in vitro remains an important challenge for the drug discovery industry. Human Embryonic Stem cells (hESCs) offer a promising new ...
