Trials of the new treatment are planned for 2013 and industrial partners are keen to commercialise the biotechnologies resulting from the project. ]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2013-01-24:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-nanoporation&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=29613 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-cellu&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28760 A Marie Curie Action (MCA) played a pivotal role in progressing the careers of two young medical researchers, bringing new hope of speedy recovery to millions of future sufferers of knee cartilage damage, and enabling a medical start-up company based in the Netherlands to develop a ground-breaking cartilage-repair technology and speed up its progress towards clinical trials and the eventual prospect of commercialisation. ]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-12-19:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-cellu&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28760 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-stronger&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28676 In French Guiana, as the distance between the expanding human habitat and the surrounding ecosystem is reduced, this has the potential to expose the population to new viruses and bacteria. European scientists are exploring how to improve research infrastructure and capacity to tackle the emerging threat of infectious disease in French Guiana and boost public health in the region. ]]> Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-12-13:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-stronger&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28676 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-eatris&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28673 All too often, researchers who secure medical breakthroughs in the laboratory find themselves at a loss when it comes to turning their findings into health products. This blockage is due to the slow, cumbersome and failure-prone testing and approvals mechanism, which involves lengthy inter-disciplinary dealings amongst basic scientists, clinicians, regulators and more. But a new European project is simplifying the system and speeding the journey from science to therapy. ]]> Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-12-13:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-eatris&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28673 http://ec.europa.eu/research/index.cfm?pg=newsalert&lg=en&year=2012&na=na-160412 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-04-16:/index.cfm?pg=newsalert&lg=en&year=2012&na=na-160412 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=122&item=Infocentre&artid=23593 Consider the following health problems, related by three different people: Every day I said to myself: 'Tomorrow I'll start to eat properly, tomorrow I will take care of myself' but the next day I did nothing. And this has been going on for months and years. It's had serious consequences for my body: problems in the stomach, changes in my blood; I have been in very bad shape.]]> Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-01-17:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=122&item=Infocentre&artid=23593 http://ec.europa.eu/research/health/public-health/index_en.html For more information on Health and life sciences - Public health, click the link above, which will take you to the Public Health Research web site.
