Abstract: The invention relates primarily to a processing method of biopolymers by means of solvent/solvent mixtures or multiphase solvent systems by means of which said polymers can be changed in their mechanical and qualitative features and processed more easily.

Abstract: Compounds and compositions, their use and methods using the compounds and compositions for preventing an infection, e.g. an infection by a virus or bacterium, or treating an infection, e.g. a virus or bacterial infection, or treating a disease caused by an infection, e.g. a virus or bacterial infection, and a method of increasing the binding of virus neutralizing antibodies, an in vitro method of detecting virus-specific antibodies in a sample obtained from a subject, a compound for use in a method of detecting of virus-specific antibodies in a subject, and a kit for the detection of virus-specific antibodies.

Abstract: A composition for use in preventing an infection, or treating an infection, or treating a disease caused by an infection, the composition including a compound selected from the group of chitosan or a salt thereof, galactose, mannose, caffeine, and any combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of providing biocompatible/biodegradable hydrogels obtained by crosslinking of biopolymers (for example polysaccharides or proteins) in the semi-solid (modelling-clay like) state at water content below 70% by weight. The resulting materials can be applied in medicine, pharmacy and/or in cosmetics.
