Modeling of pathogenic breathing pattern dysregulation in cardiopulmonary disease

by

Reference: 5R33HL087347 Abstract: Ventilatory arrhythmia plays a pathogenic role in many common respiratory disorders ranging from sleep apnea, and acute lung injury to ventilatory support in the setting of chronic lung disease. Brainstem neural circuits that control cardiopulmonary functions generate oscillatory patterns that drive respiratory as well as sympathetic motor activities. These patterns exhibit highly … Read more

Multiannual Programme for Research on Rare Diseases (MRAR) (MRAR) 2006 projectﾠRett therapy -Therapeutic approaches of Rett syndrome: development of human cell models and high-throughput screening of chemical molecules in order to identify new subtsances likely to induce readthrough of a stop codon

by

Reference: ANRn.a.6-MRARn.a.003 Abstract: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmentale dominant X-linked disease affecting almost exclusively girls.ﾠSignificant progress was the discovery of mutations in the MECP2 gene in over 90% of RTT patients.ﾠIn recent years, we have developed a French consortium and determined the spectrum of mutations MECP2.ﾠWe have shown that the four most common MECP2 … Read more

Functional variants of the 5q31 chromosome region: connections between polygenic diseases and the carnitine system.

by

Reference: 73430 Abstract: The study design is the natural extension of our previous research works that had already been supported (www.humangenom.hu, www.eurosca.org). It is clear nowadays, that the functions of the carnitine are not restricted to the role of the oxidation of the long-chain fatty acids. The main direction of the planned research is the … Read more

Epigenetics of chronic heart failure

by

Reference: Abstract: The focus of this project are epigenetic mechanisms that underlie the remodeling in the heart in the emergence of hypertrophy and failure and recovery after mechanical unloading.ﾠIn the foreground is the methyl-DNA-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which specifically recognizes methylated DNA sequences, and thus can modulate gene expression.ﾠIn the continuation phase of this project, … Read more
