Abstract: 1,7-diaryl-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione derivatives, methods for the production and use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flatbed air-liquid interface exposure module for exposing a plurality of cells at an air-liquid interface to nanoparticles, the flatbed air-liquid interface exposure module comprising a moisturizing section, an exposure section, and an aerosol duct. Further provided are related systems and methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of a composite material comprising steps of: (a) reacting gaseous magnesium (Mg) and silica (SiO2) in an inert atmosphere; (b) washing the product obtained in step (a) in an acidic medium; and (c) reacting further gaseous magnesium (Mg) with the silica (SiO2) and silicon (Si) product obtained in step (b). The process of the invention allows Mg2Si/MgO nanocomposites to be prepared without too many separate steps, and wherein the MgO phase is homogeneously dispersed within the Mg2Si matrix. The nanocomposites obtained may for example find practical application as thermoelectric materials in thermoelectric generators.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying a hypoallergenic derivative of a wild-type allergen comprising: determining the three-dimensional structure of a wild-type allergen; introducing at least one point mutation into said wild-type allergen, thereby obtaining a mutated allergen; identifying a hypoallergenic derivative of said wild-type allergen by detecting a destabilisation or change of the three-dimensional structure of the mutated allergen compared to the wild-type allergen by determining energy differences between the wild-type allergen and the mutant allergen expressed as a Z-score.
