Abstract: A cytomimetic formulation is provided comprising at least two of: (a) a fermented truffle extract; (b) a plurality of hyaluronic acids of different molecular weight, ranging from 50 KDa up to 2000 KDa; (c) an olive leaf extract in a mineral-containing water; and (d) a fermented grape must. The formulations mimic the skin cytoplasmic environment and create optimal conditions for cellular growth and skin rejuvenation. Methods of use and processes for manufacturing thereof are also provided.

Abstract: A protein inhibitor from Sulfolobulus Solfataricus and peptides thereof, which both have the ability to inhibit AARE and elastase. Similarly to the eukaryotic counterparts, the recombinant protein is able to inhibit in vitro the bovine alfa-chymotrypsin with a high specificity, and the porcine elastase but not all commercial available trypsins, features which distinguish all the members belonging to the family PEBP. Through site-specific mutagenesis techniques of the gene codifying SsCEI, it has been recognized the “reactive site loop”—RCL—on the inhibitor, responsible for the interaction with the eukarial protease target already identified. The inhibitor and the peptides thereof can be used as new compounds capable of modulating cognitive enhancement cardiovascular diseases, cancer, inflammation, hematological diseases, neurological diseases and urological diseases.

Abstract: A process of immobilizing biomolecules on a support of porous silicon locally activated by using an electronic beam, activated supports of porous silicon produced in this way, and their use for sensorics applications in biological, medical fields.

Abstract: Use of trans and cis resveratrol and their ether, ester, ethoxylated, glycosylated and hydroxylated derivatives as sunscreens for protection against light having a wavelength of from 200 to 320 nm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of resveratrol and its derivatives as active principles in antidandruff formulations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid, substantially anhydrous eutectic mixture comprising a principal acid component, such as a hydroxy acid, and at least one other component selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrate, a polyol, an amino acid, and a carboxylic acid. The mixtures remain liquid at room temperature, are relatively non-irritating, and can be used to deliver higher levels of the principal acid than would ordinarily be possible. The invention also provides a method of making such a mixture comprising heating the component having the lowest melting point to the temperature at which it melts, dissolving the remaining component or components in the melted component, and allowing the mixture to cool.

Abstract: A method for the preservation of in vitro expanded epithelial sheets by incubation of the sheets in a cryopreserving solution characterized by lack of volume increase at the liquid-solid phase transition. The cryopreserving solutions comprise: a) polyethyleneglycols having molecular weight between 3 and 5 KD; and b) at least one cross-linking agent selected from polyols, polyamines, mono- or oligosaccharides, and polyethyleneglycols having molecular weight lower than 1 KD.
