Prolonged inhibition of semaphorine3a pathway via a bio-degradable implant towards a better therapy for visual sensory impairments (VISION)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"The visual pathway is a component of the central nervous system (CNS) and therefore is not regenerative. Acute optic nerve injury, ischemic optic neuropathy and glaucoma are conditions that initially lead to partial blindness and eventually could lead to total blindness. Extensive neuron and retinal ganglion cells (RGC) death is evidenced in these pathologies. Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a cell sec ...

Biomimetic nano-fiber-based nucleus pulposus regeneration for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (NPMimetic)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

"The intervertebral discs form the elastic part of the spine. It is composed of the annulus fibrosus, a tough outer layer of fibrocartilage, surrounding an elastic gelatinous core, the nucleus pulposus (NP). With age, the water content of the NP decreases, thus, the mechanical loads concentrate on the annulus. This leads to the NP wear, and cracking with a subsequent inflammation reaction and a pr ...
