Towards the Development of Orally Available Peptide Therapeutics

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong

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

Laurent Keller, Laure Menin, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, Oksana Riba Grognuz

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 ...

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, 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 ...

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 pharmacokinetic studies of tetra(meta-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin in squamous cell carcinoma by fluorescence spectroscopy at 2 wavelengths

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

To optimize photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodetection of cancer with second-generation photosensitizers, knowledge of important variables such as the uptake of the dye and the dye contrast between normal and tumoral tissue after injection is necessary. ...
