A photoreflectance device for characterizing a rough surface includes a pump beam emitter to emit a pump beam; a probe beam emitter to emit a probe beam; a detector to detect the probe beam reflected by the surface; an integrating sphere to collect the probe beam reflected by the surface, the integrating sphere including: a first output connected to the detector, and disposed so as to receive a majority of the probe beam reflected by the surface; a second output arranged so as to receive a majority of the pump beam reflected by the surface.
Abstract:
A method of characterizing specific microbiota associated with Demodex mites from a rosacea patient is described. The method can include a step of realizing a biopsy on the patient and analyzing the microbiota based on a method of 16SrRNA sequencing or pyrosequencing. A method for the diagnosis of rosacea in a patient is also described. This method can include characterizing microbiota associated with Demodex mites in the patient. Also described, are methods of differentiating a subtype of rosacea in a patient with rosacea and methods of controlling and measuring an active agent's treatment effectiveness on rosacea.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of organic chemistry and in particular to organic free radicals used as polarizing agents in the technique of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP), which involves transferring the polarization of electron spins to the nuclei of a compound whose Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is being observed. It concerns Dinitroxide-type Biradical polarizing agents characterized by a rigid linkage between the aminoxyl groups of said nitroxide units. This particular structure enables, at low temperatures and high fields, optimal transfer of polarization and optimal enhancement of NMR/MAS signals of the polarized nuclei of the compound studied.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for selecting binders by phage display and masked selection. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for selecting a plurality of binders specific for at least one relevant target comprising screening a phage binder library of binders against the relevant target in presence of a plurality of binders obtained from a library of binders directed against at least one irrelevant target and positively selecting the binders that are specific for the at least one relevant target.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the tumor growth of an androgen-independent prostate cancer in a subject, by determining the amount of at least one adrenomedullin receptor and optionally adrenomedullin in a prostate cancer cell obtained from said subject. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-adrenomedullin antagonist antibody and/or at least one anti-adrenomedullin receptor antagonist antibody for treating an androgen-independent prostate cancer.
Abstract:
Novel amino acids derivatives, in particular some amino acid amides derivatives, their process of preparation and their use for inhibiting Met-triggered disorders, in particular cancer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to peptide derivatives (peptides and pseudo-peptides) and use thereof as vectors for molecules of interest. The invention also relates to conjugates containing a peptide derivative of the invention bound to a molecule of interest. The peptides and prodrug conjugates of the invention can be used to vectorise molecules of pharmaceutical or diagnostic interest, such as, for example, therapeutic molecules, imaging or diagnostic agents, or molecular probes, across cell membranes, and notably to promote their transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Abstract:
A user interface, which includes a device for optically detecting the presence and position of an object in a detection zone, includes a lighting means for illuminating the detection zone. A linear detection strip is oriented toward the detection zone. The linear detection strip includes a row of photosensors that are configured to measure the light intensity of the light emitted by the lighting means. The sensitivity to light of each photosensor is weighted depending on the position of the photosensor along the row of photosensors.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a detector of a first and a second incident ionizing radiation including determining the abscissa em of a point of intersection between a first and a second curve, with the first and second curves representing the evolution of the number of photons or electrical charges generated per second by a transducing material as a function of the total thickness of an amplifying material when the transducing material is irradiated, through this thickness of transducing material, by the first and second incident ionizing radiation, respectively; then selecting the total thickness of amplifying material between 0.9 em and 1.1 em and producing the detector with the selected thickness of amplifying material.
