Identification of genetic determinants and pharmacological modulators of mitochondrial function

Increased life expectancy goes hand in hand with a higher incidence of age-related diseases that affect the nervous and metabolic systems, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. These complex diseases are a product of the com ...

Photocatalytic and phototoxic properties of TiO2-based nanofilaments: ESR and AFM assays

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Andrzej Kulik, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Katarzyna Pierzchala

There is uncertainty in understanding of the relationship between physico-chemical parameters of nanosized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) and its toxicity when brought into contact with living cells. This study provides a multidisciplinary experimental insig ...

Ecology and Biogeography of Bacterial Communities Associated with Chloroethene-Contaminated Aquifers

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani

Massive usage, along with careless handling, storage, spills, and leakages made chloroethenes (CEs) one of the most abundant classes of groundwater contaminants. Anaerobic organohalide respiring bacteria (OHRB) can couple reductive dechlorination of CEs wi ...

The in vivo performance of magnetic particle-loaded injectable, in situ gelling, carriers for the delivery of local hyperthermia

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Antonin Faes

In situ forming implants are attractive for minimally invasive localized therapies such as aneurysm embolization. As for the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), their deposition/injection in a target tissue area allows magnetically induced ...

Cathode-supported micro-tubular SOFCs based on Nd1.95NiO4 + δ: Fabrication and characterisation of dip-coated electrolyte layers

Heinrich Hofmann, Jan Van Herle, Paul Bowen, Josef Andreas Schuler, Ulrich Aschauer, Henning Lübbe

Fabrication conditions to obtain dense electrolyte double layers on a porous micro-tubular cathode substrate were investigated. Porous tubes of a nickelate material, Nd1.95NiO4 + δ, were fabricated by cold-isostatic pressing (CIP) and sintering. Thin ﬁlms ...

INJECTABLE SUPERPARAMAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES FOR TREATMENT BY HYPERTHERMIA AND USE FOR FORMING AN HYPERTHERMIC IMPLANT

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Mathieu Chastellain

The injectable formulation for treatment by hyperthermia comprises a liquid carrier and heat-generating superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles having a mean diameter not greater than 20 nm. Said injectable formulation is able to form in-situ a hyperthe ...
