A Freiburg-based research group has developed a microfluidic chip where more than one hundred apidose-derived adult stem cell cultures can grow and divide. In…
This technology provides a biocatalytic method for the regioselective monoacylation of
phenols or aminophenols serving as acyl acceptors in the presence of acyl donor molecules
of the formula R2-C(=O)-R3 and acyl transferase (ATase) enzymes as catalysts. The produced
phenols can be used in different markets, such as cosmetics, aroma (natural), industrial
enzymes (5 billion US$ p.a.), biocatalysis, pharmaceutical industry, agricultural chemistry,
biological pesticides.
The technology relates to an antibody for the treatment of candidiasis that is able to block/mask CaHgt1p and thereby enhance phagocytosis of candida. This represents a completely novel way of fungal treatment.
The technology consists of a microfluidic check valve that offers outstanding performance while providing an easy manufacturing technique, independence from lithographic methods, size scalability and an unique set of system properties
The invention consits of a modular, self-reconfigurable cellular robot system with a plurality of interconnected individual modules, each of which has a tetrahedral fram with changeable shape.
