The cytochrome P450 CYP2B19 is a keratinocyte-specific arachidonic acid epoxygenase expressed in the granular cell layer of mouse epidermis. In cultured keratinocytes, CYP2B19 mRNAs are up-regulated coordinately with those of profilaggrin, another granular cell-specific marker. We investigated effects of the CYP2B19 metabolites 11,12- and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) on keratinocyte t...

We here report the implementation of poly[(3-N-methylimidazoliumpropyl)methylsiloxane-co-dimethylsiloxane]iodides as suitable polymeric hosts for a novel class of in situ cross-linkable iodine/iodide-based gel-electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells. The polymers are first partially quaternized and then subjected to a thermal cross-linking which allows the formation of a 3D polymeric networ...

A microfluidic chip for cross-linked enzyme crystals (McCLEC) is presented and demonstrated to be a stable, reusable and robust biocatalyst-based device with very promising biotechnological applications. The cost-effective microfluidic platform allows in situ crystallization, cross-linking and enzymatic reaction assays on a single device. A large number of enzymatic reuses of the McCLEC platfor...
