Transportable Autonomous patrol for Land bOrder Surveillance (TALOS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

The main objective of TALOS multidisciplinary project is to develop and field test the innovative concept of a mobile, modular, scalable, autonomous and adaptive system for protecting European borders. The conventional border protection systems are based mainly on expensive ground facilities installed along the entire length of the border used only to observe, detect and warn. This infrastructure ...

INTEGRATION OF THE SYSTEM MODELS OF INSULIN SIGNALLING AND OF MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE STUDY OF COMPLEX DISEASES (MITIN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"A common trait to disorders such as type 2 diabetes or obesity is the development of insulin resistance. There is evidence indicating the existence of a bidirectional cross-talk between insulin signalling and mitochondrial function that may be relevant for the pathogenesis of those disorders. Based on this, MITIN main goal is to identify novel mitochondrial-dependent mechanisms responsible for th ...

"DIAbetes type 1 PRediction, Early Pathogenesis and Prevention" (DIAPREPP)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"The earliest currently identifiable process in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is the development of autoimmunity to islet beta cells in the form of autoantibodies. Hindering attempts to prevent autoimmune T1D, the aetiology and pathogenesis of the islet auto-immunization, including whether it is preceded by metabolic abnormalities and cell-mediated autoimmunity, is still poorly underst ...

Identification and validation of new breast cancer biomarkers based on integrated metabolomics (METAcancer)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It is therefore in the focus of approaches for the identification of predictive molecular biomarkers. In contrast to transcriptomics, the changes in metabolite levels that are associated with tumor development and progression have not been investigated to a great extent, so far. Metabolomics is defined as the study of all metabolites in a cell, ti ...
