Fate of parasites and viruses in calcium hydroxide-treated urine in relation to temperature and moisture content

Human urine can be used as fertilizer and technologies, such as alkaline-urine treatment, are being developed to enable easier re-use. There is, however, a risk of pathogens being present in the urine. This hygiene assessment examined inactivation of three ...

An Overview of Serum Albumin Interactions with Biomedical Alloys

Stefano Mischler, Oksana Klok

Understanding the interactions between biomedical alloys and body fluids is of importance for the successful and safe performance of implanted devices. Albumin, as the first protein that comes in contact with an implant surface, can determine the biocompat ...

Linking transformations of organic carbon to post-treatment performance in a biological water recycling system

Eva Reynaert

Ozone, electrolysis and granular activated carbon (GAC) were examined as potential post-treatments to followa household-scale biologically activated membrane bioreactor (BAMBi), treating a wash water containing trace urine and feces contamination. Each pos ...

Non-covalent albumin-binding ligands for extending the circulating half-life of small biotherapeutics

Alessandro Angelini, Alessandro Zorzi, Sara Linciano

Peptides and small protein scaffolds are gaining increasing interest as therapeutics. Similarly to full-length antibodies, they can bind a target with a high binding affinity and specificity while remaining small enough to diffuse into tissues. However, de ...

Bicyclic Peptides Conjugated to an Albumin-Binding Tag Diffuse Efficiently into Solid Tumors

Christian Heinis, Stephane Kontos, Alessandro Angelini, Sandeep Raghunathan, Lisa Pollaro, Julia Morales Sanfrutos

Monoclonal antibodies have long in vivo half-lives and reach high concentrations in tumors but cannot access all regions in the tissue, whereas smaller ligands such as peptides distribute better but are limited by low concentrations due to fast renal clear ...

Superior sensing performance of multi-walled carbon nanotube-based electrodes to detect unconjugated bilirubin

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino

The direct electrochemical behaviour of bilirubin in the physio-pathological concentration range and at physio- logical pH was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Nanostructured electrodes with a thin film of multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibited a highe ...

Serum Albumin Targeted, pH-Dependent Magnetic Resonance Relaxation Agents

Lothar Helm, Loïck Moriggi

The objective of this work was the synthesis of serum albumin targeted, GdIII-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents exhibiting a strong pH-dependent relaxivity. Two new complexes (Gd-glu and Gd-bbu) were synthesized based on the DO3A macro ...

Measuring the mesh size of hydrogels

Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Hydrogels are cross-linked, water-swollen polymer networks that are widely used as a biomaterial. Because of high amount of water, they are mechanically poor and soft. This aspect limits their applications. The suitability of hydrogels as biomedical materi ...

Size-Selective Diffusion in Nanoporous but Flexible Membranes for Glucose Sensors

Peter Ryser, Eric Meurville, Antoine Barraud, Nao Takano

A series of nanoporous membranes prepared from polyethylene-block-polystyrene were applied for size-selective diffusion of glucose and albumin molecules. Millimeter-sized test cells for characterization of such molecular diffusions were designed assuming a ...
