ENDOSTEM Activation of vasculature associated stem cells and muscle stem cells for the repair and maintenance of muscle tissue

Coordinator: UNIVERSITE PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE - PARIS 6 (FR)

We propose to develop new strategies to mobilize skeletal muscle tissue-associated stem cells as a tool for efficient tissue repair. This will be combined with exploring novel approaches that limit tissue damage, and will focus on agents that modify muscle and muscle vasculature progenitor cells. These molecules include nitric oxide associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, HMGB1, Cripto, NAC, and present and improved deacetylase inhibitors. Three clinical trials will be run in tandem with efforts to dissect the underlying mechanisms of action. Importantly, we have already initia…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €12.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2010-01-01 to 2014-12-31.
