Schistosomiasis has been reported in 78 endemic countries and affects 240 million people worldwide. The digenetic parasite Schistosoma mansoni needs fresh water to compete its life cycle. There, it is susceptible to soluble compounds that can affect directly and/or indirectly
The properties of gels prepared either from acryloyl-morpholine (ACM) or from its mixtures with acrylamide and crosslinked either with bisacrylylpiperazine or with methylenebisacrylamide have been described. ACM-containing gels are compatible with organic solvents. If polymerized in water and dried, they
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, in part due to lack of early detection. The identification of circulating tumor antigens or their related autoantibodies provides a means for early cancer diagnosis. We have used a proteomic approach to identify proteins

Detection of pathogens by all living organisms is the primary step needed to implement a coherent and efficient immune response. This implies a mediation by different soluble and/or membrane-anchored proteins related to innate immune receptors called PRRs (pattern-recognition receptors) to
Biomaterials, artificial cells, and immobilization biotechnology : official journal of the International Society for Artificial Cells and Immobilization Biotechnology, 19(4), 667-674 (1991-01-01)
Activation of the complement system in vitro by a series of microcapsules based on polylysine, alginate or polyacrylamide was determined. Least activation was observed with microcapsules whose outer layer was composed of polyacrylamide. Activation was further reduced using diacrylylpiperazine instead
