Bioactivated hierarchical hydrogels as zonal implants for articular cartilage regeneration (HYDROZONES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Degeneration of cartilage is a major cause of chronic pain, lost mobility and reduced quality of life for millions of European citizens. From a clinical point of view treatment to achieve cartilage regeneration (hyaline) and not only repair (fibrous) remains a great challenge. No clinical therapy is available that leads to healing of cartilage defects.Current cartilage implants cannot establish th ...

Nanotherapeutics to Treat Antibiotic Resistant Gram-Negative Pneumonia Infections (PNEUMONP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The main objective of PneumoNP is the development of a theragnostic system for the treatment of lung Gram-negative bacterial infections. As a proof of concept PneumoNP will focus the attention on Klebsiella pneumoniae caused infections. A diagnostic kit will be developed to enable a rapid and precise identification of the bacteria strain causing the infection and avoid the use of wide spectrum a ...

Collaboration on the Optimisation of Macromolecular Pharmaceutical Access to Cellular Targets (COMPACT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Most biopharmaceuticals (BP) currently on the market are recombinant proteins which are parenterally administered. These would benefit from more patient-friendly routes of administration. Moreover, new classes of BP (e.g. siRNA, miRNA, DARPins) with specificity for intracellular targets hold promise but await the advent of efficient delivery systems before their potential can be realised into ther ...

Novel drug delivery system produced by centrifugal technologies – composed to minimize adverse immune reactions and designed for optimised therapeutic effects (decent AID)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Drug delivery systems are a matter of intensive scientific investigation and technological developments. They are necessary since many active pharmaceutical ingredients to be employed in therapy, diagnostics or vaccination cause serious side effects when distributed non-specifically. Without a drug delivery system, the active pharmaceutical ingredients may accumulate in healthy and sensitive tissu ...

Engineered nanomaterial mechanisms of interactions with living systems and the environment: a universal framework for safe nanotechnology (NANOMILE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The NanoMILE project is conceived and led by an international elite of scientists from the EU and US with the aim to establish a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of nanomaterial interactions with living systems and the environment, and uniquely to do so across the entire life cycle of nanomaterials and in a wide range of target species. Identification of critical properties (physico-che ...

Development & Evaluation of a Viable Stent Device for the Treatment of BronchoTracheal Cancer (PULMOSTENT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Lung cancer is the most common cancer in terms of both incidence and mortality, worldwide. With a median age at diagnosis of 71, lung cancer is mainly affecting the aging population. Airway stenosis is a key problem with significant morbidity and premature death. Endobronchial stenting is a proven therapy to keep the airways open. Nevertheless the currently used clinical stents have major disadvan ...

Smart nanosystems for advanced cancer therapy (NanoSmart)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Advances in the preparation of nanotechnology-based materials in medical science pose new challenges in the design of smart nanodevices capable of meeting clinical needs. These systems are called to solve the issues associated to a non-specific delivery of drugs, which lead to the failure of a large number of treatments for oncological diseases.A selective and safe carrier for drug delivery should ...
