A new generation of biocompatible and biodegradab le polymers for tissue engineering has been developed. The liquid precursors can be either cured in vivo or printed by additive manufacturing technology.
NeuNAc is used as a precursor for the production of neuraminidase inhibitors, which are used for the treatment of viral diseases. {e.g. drug Relenza). A new process was developed at the TU Vienna combining the advantage of a single-step process and using the cheap and renewable substrate chitin.
The core of this invention is a combination of analytical and experimental methods, which allow a fast, cheap and easy way to identify different observable physiologic states in a BMP process.
The present invention provides a novel procedure for a selective and quantitative purification of itaconic and similar dicarboxylic acids especially from mixtures thereof from aqueous solutions via adsorption techniques. The technology enables the separation of dicarboxylic acids (e.g. itaconic, succinic, malic, maleic, fumaric acid) or of fractions thereof from biological and/or chemical processes via adsorption technology. On behalf of RWTH Aachen University, PROvendis offers access to rights for commercial use as well as the opportunity for further co-development.
Due to the role of epigenetics in a vast array of diseases, the study of epigenetic mechanisms has become one of the most rapidly growing fields of biology.
Amongst others, epigenetic alterations involve post-transcriptional histone modifications (PTMs). Occurring in complex patterns, they form the so-called ‘histone code’. In order to decipher said code and unravel its involvement in disease, the characterization of co-occurring histone modifications is considered to be an important cornerstone.
An innovative method now allows the detection of co-occurring histone modifications in one single step. Contrary to conventional methods, the technique offers much improved sensitivity, is easy to perform and features consistent quality.
Frontal Polymerization initiated by a stimulus of light/ heat at the surface is a technique in which the polymerization heat is used for the cleavage of a thermal initiator which can reinitiate the polymerization reaction in adjacent regions. This effect leads to a moving localized reaction zone which is referred as reaction front.
