Honey is a natural food of worldwide economic importance. Over the last decades, its potential for food, medical, cosmetical, and biotechnological applications has been widely explored. One major safety issues regarding such susceptibility to being contaminated with bacterial fungi spores, including pathogenic ones, which may impose hurdle consumption in raw state. Another factor that makes thi...

Janus-faced viscoelastic gelling agents—possessing both elastic and viscous characteristics—provide materials with unique features including strengthening ability under stress a liquid-like character lower viscosities relaxed conditions. The mentioned multifunctional is manifested in several body fluids such as human tears, synovial liquids, skin tissues mucins, endowing the special physical re...

Abstract Fibroblast Growth Factor 7 (FGF7), a growth factor specific to epithelial cells, has attracted attention as therapeutic protein. However, FGF7 limitation in its use due low protein stability. Here, the mutations were designed increase stability of by analyzing 3D structure and sequence other FGFs. Palifermin, N-terminal truncated is known have improved was used control our study. The K...

Medical femtosecond laser devices are used in dermatology for non-linear high-resolution imaging to obtain non-invasive and label-free optical skin biopsies (multiphoton tomography) as well ophthalmology refractive corneal surgery cataract surgery. Applications of commercial certified multiphoton tomographs include early detection cancer within minutes by two-photon autofluorescence coenzymes m...

The administration of hydrophobic actives and drugs for medical or cosmetical purposes generally requires a formulation that ensures adequate water solubility, which can be achieved through the encapsulation in liposomes. For vehiculation (+)-usnic acid (UA), compound with antioxidant activity, we have prepared liposomes one-step process using compressed CO2. investigated formulations are mainl...

T+T does the developing and manufacturing, and the subsidiary company INTERTON HÖRGERÄTE is responsible for the selling and the marketing. The company started the AE with the aim to develop an ASIC, which replaces the mechanical trimmers in the hearing-aid. Thi...

Digitalization and additive manufacturing offer new possibilities in the of individualized medical dental products. In paper we present results first 30 consecutive growing patients (15 males 15 females), with a mean age 13.69 years (SD = 1.26), who were treated for mandibular retrognathia (skeletal Class II malocclusion), using fixed sagittal guidance (FSG) appliance, individually manufactured...

Nowadays, most cosmetical and dermatological laboratories use sebocyte cell lines to study physiopathological conditions such as seborrhoea or acne. Immortalized human sebaceous gland provide large amounts of sebocytes but are not relevant primary that remain a better more useful tool for studying the activity regulation glands. However, part holocrine gland, once in culture, tend quickly stop ...
