Disarming the intravascular innate immune response to improve treatment modalities for chronic kidney disease (DIREKT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
"Chronic kidney disease is world wide a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). 800.000 patients in Europe and in the US, respectively, require long-term treatment initially with peritoneal dialysis, followed by hemodialysis and kidney transplantation. Each ESRD patient on hemodialysis costs ≈€40000 to €80000 per year, has extremely poor quality of life and an average life expectancy of onl ...

A stealth attack tool for preventing clinical drug resistance through a unique self-regenerating surface (BACATTACK)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Outbreaks of clinical infections affect many thousands of patients in Europe yearly. The present effective treatment for infections is large doses of systemically applied drugs. There is a high risk of recurring infections and biofilm formation for patients dependent on long term in-dwelling catheters and the extended dependency on antibiotics result in clinical drug resistance. We present a new t ...

Nanostructured anti-septical coatings (NASLA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"The aim of this project is to provide four EU SMEs (Alce Calidad, EASReth, Di.Pro. and Aero Sekur) with a new silver/silica based coating material having anti-septical properties superior to those existing on the market: the coating is made of silica glass and of silver nanoclusters which are embedded in the silica glass. Silica provides excellent thermal and mechanical properties to the coating. ...
