Dextran fouling of polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranesâCauses, extent and consequences [PDF]
In a recent paper [Susanto, Ulbricht, J. Membr. Sci. 266 (2005) 132], we showed that dextran does foul polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes by contact of the solution with the membrane surface without flux through the membrane.

Dextran dextrinase and dextran of Gluconobacter oxydans
Certain strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been known since the 1940s to produce the enzyme dextran dextrinase (DDase; EC2.4.1.2)-a transglucosidase converting maltodextrins into (oligo)dextran. The enzyme catalyses the transfer of an alpha1,4 linked glucosyl unit from a donor to an acceptor molecule, forming an alpha1,6 linkage: consecutive ...

Improvement of a method for the characterization of ultrafiltration membranes by measurements of tracers retention [PDF]
The aim of this study is to improve protocols for assessing accurate characteristic retention curve and cut-off of membranes, thus enabling the manufacture and performance of the membrane to be monitored. Different data treatments are considered in order

A2A Adenosine Receptor Antagonism Reverts the Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction Induced by Sleep Restriction. [PDF]
Chronic sleep restriction induces blood-brain barrier disruption and increases pro-inflammatory mediators in rodents. Those inflammatory mediators may modulate the blood-brain barrier and constitute a link between sleep loss and blood-brain barrier ...

Delivery of mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein by vapor nanobubble photoporation induces necroptotic-like cell death in tumor cells [PDF]
Modern molecular medicine demands techniques to efficiently deliver molecules directly into mammalian cells. As proteins are the final mediators of most cellular pathways, efficient intracellular protein delivery techniques are highly desired.
