    Abstract: A method for obtaining chemical and/or material specific information of a sample based on scattered light. The method comprises receiving detection data comprising at least two images. Each image is indicative of the intensity of scattered light i) for incident light of a different wavelength, or ii) for incident light of a different polarization state, or iii) of a different polarization state. The scattered light comprises an elastic scattering component that is due to Rayleigh scattering of the incident light in at least a portion of the sample. Alternatively, each image is indicative of the intensity of scattered light i) of a different wavelength, or ii) for incident light of a different polarization state, or iii) of a different polarization state, wherein the scattered light comprises an inelastic scattering component that is due to Raman scattering of the incident light in at least a portion of the sample. The method further comprises determining the chemical and/or material specific information of the sample based on the change in intensity of the elastic scattering component in dependence on the change in wavelength and/or the change in polarization state of the incident and/or scattered light.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to inhibitors of HIF-1 and HIF-2 and uses thereof. The present invention further relates to the inhibitors for use in treatment of diseases. An isolated polypeptide is provided, that prevents dimerization of HIF-1α with HIF-1β and HIF-2α with HIF-1β and/or inhibits the activity of HIF-1 and HIF-2, wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence C-X1-X2-X3-Z-X4 (SEQ ID NO: 1) and wherein X1, X2, X3 and X4 are any amino acid and wherein Z is leucine, valine of isoleucine or a non-natural derivative or leucine, valine or isoleucine. The isolated polypeptide prevents dimerization of HIF-1α with HIF-1β and HIF-2α with HIF-1β and inhibits the activity of HIF-1 and HIF-2 by binding to HIF-1α or HIF-1β and/or HIF-2α or HIF-1β.
