Towards the Development of Orally Available Peptide Therapeutics

Peptides have a number of attractive properties that make them an interesting modality for drug development, including their ability to bind challenging targets, their high target specificity, and their non-toxic metabolic products. However, a major limita ...

Oral transfer of chemical cues, growth proteins and hormones in social insects

Laure Menin, Oksana Riba Grognuz, Laurent Keller

Social insects frequently engage in oral fluid exchange trophallaxis between adults, and between adults and larvae. Although trophallaxis is widely considered a food-sharing mechanism, we hypothesized that endogenous components of this fluid might underlie ...

Pseudomonas entomophila: A Versatile Bacterium with Entomopathogenic Properties

Bruno Lemaitre, Onya Opota, Guennaëlle Dieppois

Pseudomonas entomophila is unique among Pseudomonas species in being able to activate a systemic immune response in both Drosophila larvae and adults. It has been subsequently shown that oral infections with high doses of this bacterium are highly pathogen ...

Uptake of Fluoride from Aqueous Solution on Nano-Sized Hydroxyapatite: Examination of a Fluoridated Surface Layer

Janet Gordon Hering

Hydroxyapatite (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2), HAP), both as a synthetic material and as a constituent of bone char, can serve as an effective and relatively inexpensive filter material for fluoride (F-) removal from drinking water in low-income countries. Fluoride ...

Genetic evidence for a protective role of the peritrophic matrix against intestinal bacterial infection in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Onya Opota, Olivier Binggeli, Takayuki Kuraishi

The peritrophic matrix (PM) forms a layer composed of chitin and glycoproteins that lines the insect intestinal lumen. This physical barrier plays a role analogous to that of mucous secretions of the vertebrate digestive tract and is thought to protect the ...

Stability of the fluorescence measurement of Foscan in the normal human oral cavity as an indicator of its content in early cancers of the esophagus and the bronchi

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with Foscan (mTHPC) is used to cure early cancers of the esophagus or the tracheobronchial tree. However, fixed PDT parameters (drug dose, light dose, etc.) do not permit an accurate prediction of the tissue damage. Large interpa ...

Optimizing light dosimetry in photodynamic therapy of early stage carcinomas of the esophagus using fluorescence spectroscopy

Hubert van den Bergh

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Under standardized conditions (drug and light dose, timing), the result of the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of carcinomas of the esophagus with tetra(meta-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) shows large variations between patients. STUDY ...

Clinical pharmacokinetic studies of photofrin by fluorescence spectroscopy in the oral cavity, the esophagus, and the bronchi

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

Background. To optimize photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodetection of cancer, two important variables that must be considered are the uptake of the dye and the dye contrast between normal and neoplastic tissue after injection. Methods. To study these va ...

Clinical measurements of tissue optical properties in the esophagus and in the oral cavity

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

A non-invasive probe has been devised and clinically used to perform in vivo measurements of the optical properties of the esophageal wall and oral cavity. The absorption and reduced scattering coefficients are determined from the observation of the spatia ...

1995

In-vivo measurement of fluorescence bleaching of meso-tetra hydroxy phenyl chlorin (mTHPC) in the esophagus and the oral cavity

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

In vivo spectrofluorometric anal. during photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a tool to obtain information about fluorophore bleaching kinetics in tissue. Using a cylindrical esophageal light distributor for PDT with an integrated sensing fiber, together with a f ...
