20.500.12556/DiRROS-19638 Maristem - stem cells of marine/aquatic invertebrates from basic research to innovative applications The “stem cells” discipline represents one of the most dynamic areas in biomedicine. While adult marine/aquatic invertebrate stem cell (MISC) biology is of prime research and medical interest, studies on stem cells from organisms outside the classical vertebrate (e.g., human, mouse, and zebrafish) and invertebrate (e.g., Drosophila, Caenorhabditis) models have not been pursued vigorously. Marine/aquatic invertebrates constitute the largest biodiversity and the widest phylogenetic radiation on Earth, from morphologically simple organisms (e.g., sponges, cnidarians), to the more complex mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms, and protochordates. These organisms contain a kaleidoscope of MISC-types that allow the production of a large number of novel bioactive-molecules, many of which are of significant potential interest for human health. MISCs further participate in aging and regeneration phenomena, including whole-body regeneration. For years, the European MISC-community has been highly fragmented and has established scarce ties with biomedical industries in an attempt to harness MISCs for human welfare. Thus, it is important to (i) consolidate the European community of researchers working on MISCs; (ii) promote and coordinate European research on MISC biology; (iii) stimulate young researchers to embark on research in MISC-biology; (iv) develop, validate, and share novel MISC tools and methodologies; (v) establish the MISC discipline as a forefront interest of biomedical disciplines, including nanobiomedicine; and (vi) establish collaborations with industries to exploit MISCs as sources of bioactive molecules. In order to fill the recognized gaps, the EC-COST Action 16203 “MARISTEM” has recently been launched. At its initial stage, the consortium unites 26 scientists from EC countries, Cooperating countries, and Near Neighbor Countries. aging bioactive molecules blue biotechnology cancer cell culture COST Action Europe marine/aquatic invertebrates regeneration stem cells true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2024-07-23 03:54:14 2024-07-24 12:30:40 2024-07-25 04:14:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2018 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 16. 2. 2018; str. 1-21 Vol. 10 2018 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2018-02-15 577.2 2071-1050 10.3390/su10020526 4616783 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323201988_Maristem-Stem_Cells_of_MarineAquatic_Invertebrates_From_Basic_Research_to_Innovative_Applications 1 b39d7335-4885-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27137 RAZ_Ballarin_Loriano_2018.pdf RAZ_Ballarin_Loriano_2018.pdf 1 36890397B691FEE9FE743C3937FE7D2F e1e4f1fb92487fa94dfe30d5446cdaf3048d53beda00579de7fa2dc97f68062d 8601c845-4997-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27290 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
