Abstract: The invention relates to a substrate holding and locking system for chemical and/or electrolytic surface treatment of a substrate in a process fluid and a corresponding method. The system comprises a first element, a second element, a reduced pressure holding unit and a magnetic locking unit. The first element and the second element are configured to hold the substrate between each other. The reduced pressure holding unit comprises a pump to reduce an interior pressure inside the substrate holding and locking system below atmospheric pressure. The magnetic locking unit is configured to lock the first element and the second element with each other. The magnetic locking unit comprises a magnet control and at least a magnet. The magnet is arranged at one of the first element and the second element. The magnet control is configured to control a magnetic force between the first element and the second element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a module for chemically processing a substrate, a method for chemically processing a substrate and a use of a module for chemically processing a substrate and in particular a large substrate. The module for chemically processing a substrate comprises: an immersion chamber, a spray unit, and a motion unit (14). The immersion chamber is configured to receive a first liquid and the substrate, so that the substrate is immersed in the liquid. The spray unit comprises a plurality of spray nozzles, which are configured to spray a second liquid within the immersion chamber. The motion unit is configured to provide a relative motion between the substrate and the spray unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies that specifically bind human monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) (“anti-human MCT1 antibodies”), compositions comprising such anti-human MCT1 antibodies, and methods of using such anti-human MCT1 antibodies.

Abstract: Angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL)3/8 fusion proteins are disclosed. Nucleic acid constructs encoding ANGPTL3/8 fusion proteins also are disclosed. Methods of making and using the same also are disclosed, especially for generating antibodies against ANGPTL3 and/or ANGPTL8.

Abstract: Angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL)3/8 complexes and antibodies are disclosed, where the antibodies bind to and thereby neutralize ANGPTL3/8 complexes. Pharmaceutical compositions also are disclosed that include one or more anti-ANGPTL3/8 complex antibodies herein in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods of making and using the same also are disclosed, especially for increase lipoprotein lipase activity and lowering triglycerides. In this manner, the compounds and compositions may be used in treating lipid metabolism-related and glucose metabolism-related diseases and disorders.

Abstract: Provided are antibodies, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds human IL-21, These antibodies are useful in immunoassays of IL-21 levels, and/or in vivo, ex vivo or in vitro immunochemical and other imaging methods for determining the presence of IL-21 and/or quantifying IL-21 levels, and for diagnostic, prognostic and predictive purpose, and or optimizing therapeutic regimens in patients in which IL-21 signaling is implicated in pathogenesis.

Abstract: The invention relates to engineered, humanized antibodies that have high binding affinity for and neutralize human IL-21, methods of using the antibodies to treat conditions in which antagonism or neutralization of the effects of IL-21 is warranted, such as autoimmune conditions, compositions and methods for recombinantly producing the antibodies, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies.

Abstract: A first itinerary comprising a first plurality of first location elements associated with locations to be visited during a trip, each first location element comprising first duration information, first arrival date information, and first departure date information, is maintained. A second itinerary comprising a plurality of transport elements associated with transportation to be used during the trip and a second plurality of second location elements, each second location element associated with a corresponding first location element, each second location element comprising second duration information, second arrival date information, and second departure date information is maintained. Modification information indicating that a duration specified in a selected first location element has been altered is received. A first duration, first arrival date information, or first departure date information in a first location element is adjusted based on the modification information.
