Novel biomimetic strategy for bone regeneration (INNOVABONE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The importance of developing novel approaches for bone repair is underscored by the heavy burden on health care costs and patient suffering caused by traumatic, osteoporotic and osteolytic metastatic bone lesions. To address these health challenges, we will develop optimally performing bioinspired biomaterials mimicking the natural physiological processes underlying bone repair. Our overall approa ...

Atopic diseases in changing climate, land use and air quality (ATOPICA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

There is an urgent need to understand how global and regional climate, land use and air quality changes will impact human health. Our consortium constitutes an innovative and multidisciplinary approach to explore the combined pan-European impact of changes in climate, land use and air pollution on allergen pollen-induced diseases through a chain of quantitative physical and statistical models. We ...

"ENvironment, EPigenetics and the Initiation of Allergic asthma" (ENEPIA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Allergic disease is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease with an enormous impact on health and well being and a high economic burden in Europe. The increasing incidence in the last decades is well documented and parallels the environmental changes of Industrialized countries. Although there appears to be a link between environmental factors and the high prevalence of allergic disease, t ...

Biomarkers for post market monitoring of short and long-term effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on animal and human health (GMSAFOOD)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The function of post market monitoring is to further assess possible nutritional and health effects of authorized GM foods on a mixed population of human and animal consumers. Currently, however, little is known about exposure levels, whether adverse effects are predictable, and the occurrence of any unexpected effects following market release of GM foods. Our objective is to identify a panel of a ...

Identification of key chemokine-chemokine receptor interactions that control the memory Th2 cells in allergic asthma (Th2MEMORY)

Start date: Jun 16, 2008, End date: Jun 15, 2010,

Allergic asthma is a disease of airway inflammation caused by an allergic reaction to an antigen. Pathogenic CD4+ T helper type 2 (Th2) cells in lungs are involved in the initiation and perpetuation of the allergic response in airways of asthmatics and animals. Mouse models generated by systemic immunization and respiratory tract exposure with inhaled antigen or by adoptive transfer of effector Th ...
