摘要:
An isolated protein which is at least partially encoded by a polynucleotide sequence encoding a novel acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene (PtDGAT1) from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricomutum is provided together with a composition which includes the isolated protein and a transgenic organism transformed by a polynucleotide encoding same. The invention also provides a method for producing or enhancing the production of oil or triacylglycerols with high saturated fatty acids content.
摘要:
The present invention relates in general to the field of tissue engineering and more specifically to amphiphilic peptides and peptide matrices thereof useful in vitro and in situ biomineralization and inducing bone repair. The present invention provides peptides, which are useful in hydrogels and other pharmaceutical compositions, and methods and kits of use for bone repair and promotion of biomineralization. Certain hydrogels according to the invention comprise cells within or adhered to the peptide matrix.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to a flexible catheter device capable of being introduced into body passages, withdraw fluids therefrom or introduce fluids thereinto, and which includes electrodes configured to apply electrical signals in the body passage for carrying out thrombus dissolution and/or thrombectomy, wherein one of said electrodes is designed to contact the thrombus material and remove it or dissolve it, and wherein the electrical voltage signals are a unipolar pulsatile voltage signal.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to use of a series of tri-aryl compounds and compositions comprising the same for the treatment of diabetes and disease conditions arising as a consequence of the same.
摘要:
The present invention provides a chimera protein made of amino acid residues derived from IL-1beta propeptide and the IL-1Ra mature peptide and polynucleotides encoding the protein. The present invention also provides usages of the protein and the polynucleotides in pharmaceutical compositions that treat inflammation.
摘要:
The electrochemical lateral flow biosensor (ELFB) comprising a novel ELFB strip and electronic detector unit, to which said strip is connected using cable or wirelessly. The strip is made of (a) polymeric hydrophobic membrane, wherein said membrane provides a solid support and enables the capillary flow along the strip; (b) conjugation pad, wherein said pad is placed over and in contact with said membrane at one end of the strip and contains formulation of the adsorbed dehydrated labelled conjugate particles, wherein said conjugate particles are coated with the biorecognition element of the assay and coated or filled with the electrochemically active component (EAC); (c) sampling pad, wherein said pad is placed on top of and in contact with said conjugation pad and provides adsorption of the liquid sample; (d) screen-printed electrode (SPE), wherein said electrode is coated with the immobilised capture antibodies; and (e) wick pad, wherein said pad is placed on top and in contact with said SPE and provides absorption of excess reagents maintaining a lateral flow along the strip. The ELFB can be used for rapid and early detection and quantity analysis of bacterial, parasitic, viral infections, and tumours in biological liquids, toxins, mycotoxins, explosives and other pollutants in wastewater.
