The EU-funded project NEUROGENCREB has revealed the critical role of cyclic-AMP Element Binding protein (CREB) in health, neurodegenerative disease, cancer and neural cell survival.

CREB is a phospho-regulated transcription factor. State-of-the-art molecular genetics techniques and bioinformatics showed that CREB has several crucial roles that include neurogenesis, neuronal survival, function, repair and differentiation. CREB acts by modulating gene expression in nerve cells for neuronal activation required in brain functions such as memory and drug addiction.

Policymakers rely on predictive models. A comprehensive tailor-made modelling platform for agriculture will soon provide a clearer picture of the effects of agriculture policies and uncertainty on farmers and their decisions.

The Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) has been an important instrument for evaluating the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and its effects on farming income. However, uncertainty, instability and price volatility are dynamic variables that are not currently integrated in existing economic models relying on the FADN informatics environment.
