ASSET: Analysing and Striking the Sensitivities of Embryonal Tumours (ASSET)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
Cancer is hallmarked by multiple genetic aberrations that lead to a functional derangement of cellular signalling networks. Embryonal tumours (ETs) comprising neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and Ewing sarcoma, occur early in life, and thus may reveal pathogenetically relevant lesions clearer than adulthood tumours which carry passenger mutations accumulated during life. ASSET will exploit this fact ...

HEMatopoietic cell IDentity : genetic and epigenetic regulation in normal and malignant hematopoiesis (HEM_ID)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
In hematopoiesis, failure to maintain homeostasis and regenerative functions result in a multitude of hematological malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes, lymphomas and leukemias, that represent a medical challenge and a large socioeconomic burden because of the large number of affected patients of all age groups. Although hierarchical organization of the hematopoietic system has been ...

"Small Molecule Antagonists of chromatin modifying enzymes for Regulation of Transcription, proliferation and differentiation" (SMART)
Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
"Chromatin modifying enzymes play important roles in the regulation of gene expression, the establishment and maintenance of distinct cell types during development and the control of cellular proliferation. All of these features make them interesting targets for small molecule inhibitors that can function as probes for basic biological questions but also as lead compounds for drug development. Ind ...

Dissecting pathogen recognition complexes of Toll-like receptors: hunting for new co-receptors and ligands (TolLiCoR)
Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2010,
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are trans-membrane proteins that recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and subsequently induce an intracellular signaling cascade that triggers the activation of transcription factors which initiate the expression of host defense proteins. Ten human, structurally highly conserved TLRs have been identified and assigned to structurally very dissimilar li ...
