Use of sequential‐batch fermentations to characterize the impact of mild hypothermic temperatures on the anaerobic stoichiometry and kinetics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract This work presents a characterization of the stoichiometry and kinetics of anaerobic batch growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at cultivation temperatures between 12 and 30°C. To minimize the influence of the inoculum condition and ensure full adaptation to the cultivation temper ... more

Development of a process for efficient use of CO2 from flue gases in the production of photosynthetic microorganisms

Abstract A new methodology to use efficiently flue gases as CO2 source in the production of photosynthetic microorganisms is proposed. The CO2 is absorbed in an aqueous phase that is then regenerated by microalgae. Carbonated solutions could absorb up to 80% of the CO2 from diluted gas r ... more

Microparticle delivery of Interleukin‐7 to boost T‐cell proliferation and survival

Abstract In HIV infections, homoeostasis of T cells is dysregulated such that there is a depletion of CD4+ T cells and a progressive loss of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Methodologies that can improve the function of some or all of these cells will likely enhance immune responsiveness in ... more

Atrial natriuretic peptides in Han Wistar, Sprague–Dawley and spontaneously Hypertensive rats

ABSTRACT The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and its precursor (N‐terminal fragment of atrial natriuretic peptide, NT‐proANP) are natriuretic peptides released into the circulation as a consequence of an acute atrial stretch. As for the brain natriuretic peptide and its N‐terminal fragm ... more

Subchronic inhalation toxicity of iron oxide (magnetite, Fe3O4) in rats: pulmonary toxicity is determined by the particle kinetics typical of poorly soluble particles

ABSTRACT Wistar rats were nose‐only exposed to pigment‐sized iron oxide dust (Fe3O4, magnetite) in a subchronic 13‐week inhalation study according to the OECD testing guidelines TG#413 and GD#39. A 4 week pilot study with a 6 month post exposure period served as basis for validating the ... more

Development of a thermostable β‐glucuronidase‐based reporter system for monitoring gene expression in hyperthermophiles

Abstract Mesophilic glucuronidases are the most widely used reporters of gene expression in plants, but unsuitable as reporters in (hyper‐)thermophiles due their insufficient thermal stability. Here we present the native 66.8 kDa thermostable β‐glucuronidase of Sulfolobus solfataricus. T ... more

BESSICC, a COSMO‐RS based tool for in silico solvent screening of biocatalyzed reactions

Abstract Many enzymatic reactions are near‐equilibrium reactions. This often limits final yield and hence application of biocatalyzed processes in the industrial production. The most widely applied strategy to overcome this issue is solvent selection. It must be underlined that measuring ... more

Is fetal magnetic resonance imaging indicated when ultrasound isolated mild ventriculomegaly is present in pregnancies with no risk factors?

ABSTRACT Objective Ventriculomegaly (VM) is the most common brain anomaly in prenatal ultrasound (US) diagnosis. There is a general trend to perform fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when VM is severe (greater than 15 mm) and/or it is not isolated. The role of MRI is debated when ... more

Maternal serum CA 19–9 and CA 15–3 levels in pregnancies affected by trisomy 21

ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the levels of tumour markers CA 19–9 and CA 15–3 in the first trimester maternal serum of euploid control and trisomy 21 pregnancies. Methods Maternal serum marker levels of 69 trisomy 21 and 388 euploid controls were quantified by the Kryptor a ... more

Fetal sex determination using cell‐free fetal DNA: service users' experiences of and preferences for service delivery

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to determine service users' experiences of and preferences for service delivery of fetal sex determination by noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) using cell‐free fetal DNA. Methods We used a qualitative approach using semistructured ... more

Effect of interrupting prenatal Down syndrome screening due to a large nuchal translucency

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study is to determine the effect of interrupting prenatal Down syndrome screening for women with large nuchal translucency (NT) measurements on the performance of combined and integrated tests. Design Distribution of large NT at 11–13 weeks of g ... more

Noninvasive prenatal detection of chromosomal aneuploidies using different next generation sequencing strategies and algorithms

ABSTRACT Objective Here we describe the successful application of massively parallel sequencing for noninvasive prenatal detection of trisomy 21. In addition, for the detection of a broader spectrum of fetal aneuploidies, a target enrichment approach was successfully tested. Method ... more

Psychotherapy as an epigenetic ‘drug’: psychiatric therapeutics target symptoms linked to malfunctioning brain circuits with psychotherapy as well as with drugs

Summary What is known and Objective:  Psychotherapy has traditionally competed with psychopharmacology. As drugs have become the more dominant treatment in psychiatry and primary care, this approach is increasingly criticized as limited in scope, lacking in robust outcomes and too heavil ... more
