Abstract:
The inventors of the present invention have developed a support that couples the controlled seeding of cells into predetermined patterns with the presentation and/or detection of molecules of interest to/from said cells. Said support is characterized for containing predetermined patterns where cells adhere to and have a uniform layer of microbeads functionalized with a molecule of interest.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis of celiac disease based on the quantification of the expression level of the UBE2L3 gene, as well as of the relative expression of isoform 2 of the UBE2L3 gene with respect to the total expression of the said gene. Likewise, the invention relates to kits with the means needed to perform the diagnosis according to the methods of the invention.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a wood preservative composition, includes modifying lignin with Na2B4O7 or NaNO3 and then with a chromium (II) salt, copper (II), cadmium (II) or zinc (II), for example, metal nitrates (Cr(NO3)2, Cu(NO3)2, Cd(NO3)2, Zn(NO3)2); to the preservative obtainable by this method; and to a method for preserving wood; and to the preserved wood. The preservative prevents degradation by xylophagous and fungal agents, and also improves some properties of the wood, and the hygroscopicity and fire resistance.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula I, their respective mirror-image enantiomers, and mixtures—preferably racemic—of both enantiomers, wherein R1 is ethyl or phenyl; R2 is methyl, phenyl, monosubstituted phenyl, benzyl, or monosubstituted benzyl; R3 is selected from the group consisting of: (C1-C6)-alkyl, (C1-C6)-cycloalkyl, —[CH2]n-phenyl, —[CH2]n-1-naphtyl, —[CH2]n-2-naphtyl, and —[CH2]n-[substituted phenyl]; wherein [substituted phenyl] is a phenyl radical with one, two or three substituents independently selected from: F, Cl, Br, (C1-C3)-alkyl, (C1-C3)-alkyloxy, phenyl, phenoxy, —CF3, —OCF3, nitro, —CN, —CO—(C1-C3)-alkyl and benzoyl; and n is an integer between 0 and 4; have a high affinity for imidazoline receptors of the I2 type, i.e. they are I2-IR ligands. Consequently they are applicable in the prevention or treatment of brain disorders in animals, including humans, particularly of neurodegenerative disorders, and more particularly of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a serum-free endothelial cell differentiation culture medium comprising (a) a basal culture medium and (b) an endothelial cell differentiation combination of EGF, FGF and VEGF protein, wherein the amount of EGF is higher than the amount of FGF protein. The present invention further provides a process for the preparation of cellular aggregate suspensions comprising differentiated endothelial cells from dental stem cells using the serum-free medium, as well as the use of the resulting suspension in therapy.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to compounds of formula (I): as well as to a method for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and use thereof for the treatment and/or chemoprevention of cancer hematological malignancy, proliferative diseases, genetic diseases, neurological disorders and immunological disorders.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method for training algorithms, including providing a data owner having datasets, an algorithm provider having algorithms to be trained and a blockchain network in whereby a training management provider is deployed; sending a training request to the training management provider, including a training manifest; sending the manifest to the data owner; sending by each data owner, an acceptance having a component ensuring the identity of the participating data owner; sending, by the training management provider and once minimal requirements have been met, the acceptance manifests to the algorithm provider; generating, by the algorithm provider, a compiled multi-party computation code; sending the algorithm to be trained and the compiled multi-party computation code to the data owners participating in training the algorithm; training; executing the multi-party computation code generating a multi-party peer-to-peer network; and generating a model based on the local models and the algorithm to be trained.
Abstract:
The present invention has discovered that a sponge-like scaffold comprising soy protein, chitin and a plasticizer has ideal physiochemical and mechanical properties for use as a haemostasis promoter. Therefore, the present invention provides the use of said scaffold for the use in promoting haemostasis in wounds, preferably haemorrhages such as nasal haemorrhage, as well as products which comprise said scaffold for use in promoting haemostasis.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic sensor for use in a variety of applications requiring extremely high sensitivity, such as measuring power and characteristics of incident electromagnetic radiation includes a superconducting layer that carries an exchange field for providing a spin splitting effect of charge carriers in the superconducting layer, a metal electrode, and an insulating layer arranged between the superconducting layer and metal electrode to form a spin filter junction therebetween. The electromagnetic sensor provides an antenna including a wave collecting element, in contact with the superconducting layer to convey thereinto external electromagnetic waves that are generated by an external source. An electric measurement device provides an output signal responsive to the amplitude and frequency of the external electromagnetic waves, and contacts the metal electrode to measure an electric current or voltage caused by the spin splitted charge carrier flow from the superconducting layer through the spin filter junction into the metal electrode.
