Ex vivo Re-vascularization in Porcine Liver Bioengineering - A Critical First Step Towards Effective Transplantation of Bioengineered Livers (Liver Bioengineering)

Start date: Aug 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Liver transplantation is currently the only proven therapy to extend life of patients with terminal liver disease. Organ bioengineering and regenerative medicine are promising new technologies that can help reduce the burden of liver shortage by increasing the number of organs available for transplantation. However, current bioengineered livers lack a functional vascular network that can readily a ...

Apolipoprotein E gene in the Metabolic Syndrome (APOMET)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is closely linked to disturbances in lipid and glucose metabolism and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. One-fourth of the adult European population has the MetS and a further increase is anticipated because a greater prevalence of obesity in the future. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) associates with lipoproteins and mediates theirmetabolism. ...

MITOCHONDRIAL RESPIRATORY CHAIN ASSEMBLY (MRCA)

Start date: Apr 10, 2009, End date: Jun 8, 2014,

"Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is the metabolic process that provides most of the energy usable by the cells. OXPHOS couples two sets of reactions, respiration and ATP synthesis. Respiration consists in the sequential transfer of electrons carried out by the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) complexes I (CI), II (CII), III (CIII), and IV (CIV). The proton gradient generated during respira ...
