Vitamin D And LIfestyle Intervention for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Prevention (DALI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Europe is facing a rapidly growing threat from Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which is undoubtedly associated with an unhealthy diet and a more sedentary lifestyle. Evidence is accumulating that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may be playing a role in this process. Thus it provides a significant opportunity for preventing future T2D. Not only is GDM prevalence on the rise, but intrauterine ex ...

Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research Infrastructure Network (ACTRIS)

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

Climate change is for a large part governed by atmospheric processes, in particular the interaction between radiation and atmospheric components (e.g. aerosols, clouds, greenhouse and trace gases). Some of these components are also those with adverse health effects influencing air quality. Strengthening the ground-based component of the Earth Observing System for these key atmospheric variables ha ...

Changes in carbon uptake and emissions by oceans in a changing climate (CARBOCHANGE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

CARBOCHANGE will provide the best possible process-based quantification of net ocean carbon uptake under changing climate conditions using past and present ocean carbon cycle changes for a better prediction of future ocean carbon uptake. We will improve the quantitative understanding of key biogeochemical and physical processes through a combination of observations and models. We will upscale new ...

Elucidating novel roles and mechanisms of the GAD system in stress resistance and virulence of Listeria monocytogenes (MONOGAD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 1, 2014,

"In previous work performed by Dr. Karatzas it has been demonstrated that the presence of glutamate does not confer any acid resistance to L. monocytogenes grown in DM. This is due to the absence of any GABA export in this medium even if glutamate is present. Furthermore, L. monocytogenes accumulates high levels of intracellular GABA when challenged with HCl in both rich media like BHI and DM. Th ...

ADIPOSE DERIVED STROMAL CELLS FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS (ADIPOA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease for which no efficient therapy is available. The ADIPOA consortium has previously shown that intraarticular injections of stromal cells prevents OA in two different models, but the mechanisms of this chondroprotective effect remains unknown, and the activation of cartilage derived endogenous stem cells is suspected. The participants have experien ...

BiO-dOSimetric Tools for triagE to Responders (BOOSTER)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"The effective management of an incident involving exposure of large numbers of people to radioactive material, whether accidental or following malevolent use of radioactivity, requires a mechanism for rapid triage of exposed persons. The BOOSTER project addresses this requirement under Security Topic SEC-2009-4.3.2 – Bio-dosimetric tools to manage radiological casualties. Current biodosimetric ap ...

Climate Change and Marine Ecosystem Research Results (CLAMER)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

"Although there is no certainty regarding the precise nature and rate of future climate change, even the most moderate scenarios predict a continuing change of the marine environment, with associated major environmental and social impacts. To prepare society for the necessary mitigation and adaptation measures, the awareness of citizens to research results, both certainties and uncertainties, in t ...
