Resetting the THYRoid axis for prevention of AGE-related diseases and co-morbidities (THYRAGE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
We hypothesize that inappropriate thyroid hormone action in target cells is a common mechanism underlying susceptibility to age-related degenerative diseases and co-morbidities. Although regulation of systemic thyroid status is well understood and underpins treatment of common thyroid disease, it is only in the last decade that the importance of local regulation of thyroid hormone action in tissue ...

Engineering responsive and biomimetic hydrogels for biomedical therapeutic and diagnostic applications (BIOGEL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
BIOGEL is set up to educate young scientists to develop innovative hydrogel chemistries and systems for biomedical applications. The first objective is to provide a platform for young researchers to undergo a well-rounded PhD education, particularly focussed on translational skills for a career focused in biomedical research and medical technology development. The second objective is to engineer f ...

Biofunctionalized Metal and Magnetic Nanoparticles for Targeted Tumor Therapy (NANO3T)
Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
The cause of diseases is often unknown, but their origin can frequently be found at the biomolecular and cellular level situated on nm-scale. Early diagnostics combined with early intervention on that nanoscale is one of the holy grail of modern medicine. Inorganic nanoparticles are very promising agents in that respect. One of the promising biomedical applications of these nanoparticles is their ...

Targeting LRP5 to Increase Bone Formation in Osteoporosis (TALOS)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,
"The balance between bone resorption and bone formation determines the mass and structural integrity of the skeleton and is disturbed in osteoporosis. In contrast to the molecular mechanisms regulating bone resorption, knowledge of the mechanisms regulating bone formation is limited. A recent breakthrough has been the identification of a link between bone mass in humans with rare bone disorders an ...

On-chip simultaneous intracellular recording and stimulation of electrical and biochemical activities from hundreds of neurons (BRAIN STORM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,
In the BRAINSTORM project, we aim to develop an integrated system enabling on-chip intracellular recordings from a relatively large cultured neuronal network combined with chemical sensing and intracellular delivery of biologically active molecules. To achieve tight coupling with the cell membrane and enable efficient recordings, micronail-type probes will be integrated with a CMOS readout circuit ...
