The available database comprises research projects in Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology active in the time period 2003-2022.
BlueBio is an ERA-NET COFUND created to directly identify new and improve existing ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market and find new ways of creating value from in the blue bioeconomy.

Most species studied have high number of unspecialised mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have the potential to develop into many different cell types at early life stage. There are clear indications from human studies that nutrition during early foetal development influences the lineage determination of MSCs towards that of fat cells (adipocytes), bone cells (osteoblast) and muscle cells (myocytes). In the PhD work of Marijana Todorcevic we showed, for the first time, that fish stem cell differentiation towards adipocytes is influenced by different fatty acids (FAs). We further characterised the development of MSCs to mature adipocytes by transcriptome analyses. These studies further showed that salmon adipogenesis is regulated more or less in the same way as in humans. Our results also showed that salmon adipocytes express genes coding for inflammatory cytokines, supporting the idea that the adipocytes may be involved in inflammatory responses in the fish.
