A targeted drug delivery system that is triggered by changes in pH based on single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), derivatized with carboxylate groups and coated with a polysaccharide material, can be loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The ...
The multifactorial mechanisms promoting weight loss and improved metabolism following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB) surgery remain incompletely understood. Recent rodent studies suggest that bile acids can mediate energy homeostasis by activating the G-pro ...
Cell suspensions from 8-day chick embryo neural retina give rise to different populations in monolayer culture depending upon the combinations of substrata and media used. If a substratum of low adhesiveness is used, cell reaggregation takes place before a ...
Genome-scale metabolic models are an invaluable tool for analyzing metabolic systems as they provide a more complete picture of the processes of metab. The authors have constructed a genome-scale metabolic model of Escherichia coli based on the iJR904 mode ...
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colon cancer. The observation that PPAR gamma agonists, through immune modulation, protect against in ...
Throughout these last years, many synthetic polymers have been developed for non-viral gene delivery systems in attempt to overcome potential shortcomings of viral vectors. However, it is still difficult to achieve highly efficient transfection under physi ...
Ultrathin polypeptide multilayer films are assembled by the sequential electrostatic adsorption of monolayers of poly-L-lysine and poly-L-glutamic acid onto carboxylic acid terminated alkanethiol-modified gold surfaces. The polypeptide multilayer films are ...
Meta(tetrahydroxyphenyl)chlorin (m-THPC) is a new photosensitizer currently undergoing clin. trials at Lausanne's CHUV hospital for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of early cancer in the upper aerodigestive tract. The illumination of m-THPC with light at 650 nm ...
Anti- V.cholerae monoclonal IgA antibodies have been produced using a hybridoma cell line (Zac3) grown in RPMI medium contg. 10% Fetal calf serum (FCS) and a completely defined protein- free medium. The latter has been optimized with respect to amino acid, ...
