  • Publication number: 20220324958
    Abstract: Various sequences of new peptides and derivatives with anti-inflammatory effects in various cellular models (chondrocytes osteoclasts, macrophages derived from THP-1, and neurons) in the context of stimulus-induced inflammation widely known in the literature for each model. The compounds were shown to be able to reverse the expression of molecules associated with the cell's inflammatory mechanism, in addition to inducing regenerative proteins and reducing pain markers. Accordingly, the claimed compounds of the present invention can be applied to degenerative diseases of an inflammatory nature including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

  • Patent number: 10869915
    Abstract: The invention refers to a process for the production of a continuous cell line of simile embryo stem cells, such as Amblyomma sculptum (Acari: Ixodidae), known as line IBU/ASE-16 (access number with CNCM: 1-5000) and its uses. More specifically, the invention refers to a process for the production of the line IBU/ASE-16 and their use for obtaining extracts for the production of vaccines and candidate recombinant proteins for biopharmaceuticals and acaricides, production of diagnostic kits for the detection of antigens and/or antibodies for animal and human use, obtaining clones for use in genotyping and use as a substrate for the isolation and culture of pathogens.
