In the first part, we described the synthesis of C-(1'→1) and C-(1'→4) disaccharide precursors, which are readily obtained via the carbonylative Stille coupling of glucal and isolevoglucosenone derivatives. Tin glycals and triflates, derived from isolevogl ...
Polyelectrolyte complex membrane formation has been studied, online, using the synthetic boundary technique of an Optima XL-I anal. ultracentrifuge. This recent method, established by the first author, has now been evaluated concerning its sensitivity to m ...
A tinglucal tributyl[4,6-O-bis(t-butyl)silylidene-3-O-tris(isopropyl)silyl]tin 7 and a triflate derived from isolevoglucosenone (1R,4R,5R)-4-benzyloxy-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-2-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate 10 undergo the carbonylative Stille conden ...
Shigellosis is an acute inflammatory bowel disease caused by the enteroinvasive bacterium SHIGELLA: Upon host cell-Shigella interaction, major host cell signalling responses are activated. Deciphering the initial molecular events is crucial to understandin ...
The lack of angiogenesis in ischemic tissues is a major health problem and many studies aim to explore strategies to locally increase blood perfusion. Our approach is to use covalently modified fibrin-based hydrogels as a matrix that induces endothelial ce ...
An increasing number of patients are being treated with growth hormone (GH) for the enhancement of body growth but also as an anti-aging strategy. However, the side effects of GH have been poorly defined. In this study we determined the effect of GH on wou ...

A novel method for the delivery of growth factor proteins from fibrin matrixes was developed. Nerve growth factor (NGF) fusion proteins contg. an exogenous transglutaminase substrate at the N-terminus of the protein were made recombinantly by E. coli. The ...
Fibrin plays an important role in wound healing and regeneration, and enjoys widespread use in surgery and tissue engineering. The enzymatic activity of Factor XIIIa was employed to covalently incorporate exogenous bioactive peptides within fibrin during c ...
Synthetic hydrogels have been molecularly engineered to mimic the invasive characteristics of native provisional extracellular matrixes: a combination of integrin-binding sites and substrates for matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) was required to render the n ...
A modified synthetic boundary expt. of anal. ultracentrifugation has been employed to examine, online, polyelectrolyte complex formation at flat interfaces yielding highly swollen membranes/networks. Systematic expts. with sodium alginate as a polyanion an ...
