"Health and the Understanding of Metabolism, Aging and Nutrition" (HUMAN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
"Recently intense research identified around 4,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human age related diseases such as metabolic disorders. Despite their highly significant association to pathology, the functional role of these genetic variants is, in most cases, yet to be elucidated. The evolutionary distance of most animal models from humans represents a major limitation fo ...

Personalized diagnostics and treatment of high risk coronary artery disease patients (RISKYCAD)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Although the accurate diagnosis and prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and death is a major public health issue, risk stratification for CAD with current diagnostic tools is not properly supporting clinical decision making. RiskyCAD’s overall goal is to identify novel biomarkers for asymptomatic patients in high risk of major coronary events, and develop ...

Control of metabolic and inflammatory pathways by nuclear receptors (NR-NET)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
NR-NET is a multidisciplinary consortium, whose activities are directed towards the understanding of the role of Nuclear Receptors (NRs) and coregulators in metaflammatory disease. Metaflammation - metabolic disorders linked to chronic inflammation – is an emerging concept explaining the pathogenesis of a wide-spectrum of diseases. Since several nuclear receptors can directly sense metabolic alter ...

Convenience Food Enriched with Marine based Raw Materials (ENRICHMAR)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Recent process improvements have created new possibilities for the use of marine based ingredients in functional foods. Consumers tend to favour functional foods over supplementary pills as means to prevent diseases. The market for these types of products is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. By adding marine-based bioactive ingredients from low value by-products and underutilised r ...

USE OF BIOPOLYMERS FOR SUSTAINABLE STABILIZATION OF QUALITY WINES (STABIWINE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Wine market is very competitive. EU producers need to reduce production costs and increase their sustainability standard while improving the quality of their wine. Wine stability is one of the most important quality parameters. To avoid formation of cloudiness or precipitates in bottled wines, producers preventively treat it by mean of physical methods or additives. The present practices for tarta ...

Generation of Striatal Neurons from Mouse and Human Embryonic Stem Cells: its Relevance for Regenerative Medicine in Huntington's Disease and for Studying Striatal Development (hESC differentiation)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that usually onsets in midlife. It is characterized by motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. Once symptomatic, patients are rapidly disabled and require increasing multidisciplinary care. HD is a tremendous burden for medical, social, and family resources. The symptoms and the progression of HD can be ...
