ISOLATION AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CHONDROITIN SULFATE FROM CARTILAGE BY-PRODUCTS OF BLACKMOUTH CATSHARK (GALEUS MELASTOMUS)

Isolation and Chemical Characterization of Chondroitin Sulfate from Cartilage By-Products of Blackmouth Catshark (Galeus melastomus)

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a glycosaminoglycan actively researched for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and tissue engineering applications.CS extracted from marine animals displays different features from common terrestrial sources, resulting in distinct properties, such as anti-viral and anti-metastatic.Therefore, exploration of undescribed marine

Cellular Targets of HIV-1 Protease: Just the Tip of the Iceberg?

Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) viral protease (PR) is one of the most studied viral enzymes and a crucial antiviral target.Despite its well-characterized role in virion Acidophilus/Probiotics maturation, an increasing body of research is starting to focus on its ability to cleave host cell proteins.Such findings are apparently in contrast w

Standard Type Soundness for Agents and Artifacts

Formal models, core calculi, and type systems, are important tools for rigorously stating the more subtle details of a language, to characterise and study its features and the correctness properties of its programs.In this paper we present {FsimpAL} (FsimpaALlong), a formal calculus modelling the agent and artifact program abstractions provided by

Accessibility gaps of physical supervised consumption sites in Canada motivating the use of overdose response technology/phone based virtual overdose response services: a retrospective cohort studyResearch in context

Summary: Background: Overdose response technology or virtual overdose response services are an evolving complementary harm reduction intervention which may overcome certain accessibility barriers of physical supervised consumption sites (SCS) and overdose prevention sites (OPS).We sought to characterize SCS/OPS accessibility barriers among clients
