Biofunctionalised Electroconducting Microfibres for the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury (Neurofibres)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Bio-electronic microsystems hold promise for repairing the damaged central nervous system (CNS). However, this potential has not been developed because their implantation inflicts additional neural injury, and ensuing inflammation and fibrosis compromise device functionality. In Neurofibres we want to achieve a breakthrough in “Neuroregenerative Bio-electronics”, developing dual-function devices t ...

Utility of omic-based biomarkers in characterizing older individuals at risk for frailty, its progression to disability and general consequences to health and well-being - The FRAILOMIC Initiative (FRAILOMIC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The forecasted increase in the number of older people for this century will be accompanied by an increase of those with disabilities. Disability is usually preceded by a condition named frailty that encompasses changes associated with ageing, life styles and chronic diseases. To detect and intervene on it is of outstanding importance to prevent disability, as recovery from disability is unlikely. ...

Variability in the mutation rate of RNA viruses (VIRMUT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"RNA viruses are the fastest evolving entities in nature. Such rapid evolution is explained by their mutation rates, which are orders of magnitude higher than those of DNA organisms. The error-prone replication of RNA viruses also has public-health implications related to pathogenesis, antiviral research, or viral emergence. However, current mutation rate estimates vary by more than 100-fold acros ...
