Abstract: A sexual toy is provided that is made from a composite material formed from joining, at least, two components, where a first component is an elastomer, and a second component is a granulated element. The sexual toy can include a sheath of silicone and a rigid core.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an immunogenic conjugate comprising: a carrier protein and at least one polypeptide having at most 100 amino acids comprising a sequence of 5 to 50 amino acids of interleukin 6 (IL-6) or IL-6 receptor (IL-6R), or a variant sequence having at least 75% identity with the sequence of 5 to 50 amino acids of IL-6 or IL-6R, wherein the polypeptide is covalently linked to the carrier protein and the carrier protein is a non-toxic mutant diphtheria toxin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide which comprises or consists of—a first sequence consisting of at least 8 contiguous amino acid residues selected from within the sequence extending from amino acid residues 55 to 67 of the PD-L1 protein, and at most 30 contiguous amino acid residues selected from within the complete sequence of the PD-L1 protein; and/or—a second sequence consisting of at least 8 contiguous amino acid residues selected from within the sequence extending from amino acid residues 85 to 101 of the PD-L1 protein, and at most 30 contiguous amino acid residues selected from within the complete sequence of the PD-L1 protein; and/or—a third sequence consisting of at least 8 contiguous amino acid residues selected from within the sequence extending from amino acid residues 111 to 127 of the PD-L1 protein, and at most 30 contiguous amino acid residues selected from within the complete sequence of the PD-L1 protein; and/or—a fourth sequence consisting of at least 8 contiguous amino acid resi

Abstract: The invention relates to novel surfactant compounds and the use thereof for preparing metastable supramolecular systems or nanoparticles. Said nanoparticles may be used as vectors for active ingredients, in particular therapeutic active ingredients.

Abstract: The invention concerns liposome vectors, in powder form, of active principles, and more particularly active principles sensitive to digestive and/or plasmatic degradation, such as proteins, and their application as medicine. Said liposome vectors of active principles consist of a powder composition essentially constituted of unilamellar liposomes comprising an external lipid phase consisting of class 4 lipids (phospholipids), optionally associated with class 2 substances, class 3 substances and/or class 5 substances and an internal aqueous nucleus consisting of a mixture M of at least two different non-polymerisable gelling agents (G1 and G2) whereof the gel-sol phase transition is not less than 37° C.
