Abstract: The present invention relates to a phosphatidylserine (PS) binding agents comprising one or more C-domains of a milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8) protein, and methods of making and using the same.

Abstract: A device for a resin-injection process for manufacturing an elongate fiber-composite component is disclosed having an upper die and a lower die, wherein the lower die forms a mold cavity for receiving a fiber-layer stack. The inner contour of the mold cavity substantially corresponds to the outer contour of the fiber-composite component to be produced. The device includes a gate 4 for introducing a matrix material into the mold cavity 5, and flow ducts which convey the matrix material are provided on the inner walls of the mold cavity. A method for manufacturing elongate fiber-composite components is disclosed, wherein a stack of a plurality of cut-to-size fiber layers is laid up in the mold cavity of a die comprising an upper die and a lower die. A higher fiber density is produced in the end regions of the stack of fiber layers than in the remaining regions when closing the die.

Abstract: An axle suspension for a motor vehicle includes a longitudinal leaf spring made of fiber composite and having ends coupled to the motor vehicle. The leaf spring has an attachment zone and two arms which extend from the attachment zone to the ends of the leaf spring to define a trailing arm and a leading arm in a travel direction of the motor vehicle, with the trailing arm having a cross sectional dimension which is greater than a cross sectional dimension of the leading arm. A clamping device couples an axle component to the leaf spring substantially in midsection of the leaf spring and is arranged offset in longitudinal direction from the midsection of the leaf spring.
