Vijesti iz IBD Research Foundation

Poštovani članovi, prijatelji udruge i svi koji nas podržavaju,

HUCUK podupire rad IBD research Foundation koji je nastao kao inicijativa oboljelih od IBD-a Europe, u sklopu EFCCA-e, no kao zasebno tijelo. Prikupljaju se financijska sredstva i dodjeljuju inovativnim istraživanjima na području IBD-a.

Zadovoljstvo nam je obavijestiti Vas da su prvu financijsku potporu dobili:

Stefania Vetrano, Bsc
Laboratory of Immunology and Inflammation
Istituto Clinico Humanitas
20089, Rozzano, Italy
Letter of support by:
Silvio Danese, MD, PhD HEAD,
IBD Unit Division of Gastroenterology
Istituto Clinico Humanitas-IRCCS in Gastroenterology, Milan
Francis J. Castellino; Kleiderer-Pezold Professor of Biochemistry
Director, W.M. Keck Center for Transgene Research

Project title: The protein C pathway: a novel mediator in intestinal homeostasis in IBD

Aim:
1. Study the expression and function of the protein C pathway in human IBD
2. Investigate the functional role of the protein C pathway in mediating epithelial homeostasis in a dendritic cell-dependent manner

Project title: Exploring the potential of N-palmitoylethanolamine in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel diseases

Aim: We aim to study the potential anti-inflammatory properties of PEA in an animal model of colitis, in treating colon inflammation as well as the colitis-related LPS induced systemic inflammation.

Ramistrasse 100

Letter of support by:
Prof. Gerd Kullak-Ublick; UniversitatsSpital Zurich
Klinik fur Klinische Pharmakologie und Toxikologie

Project title: Analysis of PPAR-γ haplotype structure and its influence on disease susceptibility, pathogenesis and activity of inflammatory bowel disease.

Aim: Our aim is, to comprehensively determine PPAR-γ gene variants by sequencing all seven NR1C3 exons which code for the most common PPAR-γ splice variant PPAR-γ2 and the first 50 bp of the neighbouring intronic regions in 300 IBD patients and compare the sequencing outcome with the sequencing results obtained in 200 non-IBD subjects.

Ukoliko se želite priključiti Facebook grupi IBD research Foundation, javite se udruzi kako bismo Vam poslali poziv.

Nadamo se da će se i naši specijalisti i specijalizanti javiti sa inovativnim idejama na sljedeću dodjelu financijske potpore koja će biti pod kraj 2011 godine!
