Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for granting network resources for maintaining a communication session for a subscriber in a network. A method is performed by a CTF node. The method includes obtaining, from a gateway in the network, a request for network resources for maintaining the communication session for the subscriber, and requesting, from an OCF node and in response thereto, credit units corresponding to the network resources. The method includes obtaining a grant of the credit units as well as an advance credit indication of additional credit units for the communication session from the OCF node. The method further includes storing the advance credit indication for the communication session and providing, to the gateway, a grant for the network resources for maintaining the communication session in accordance with the obtained grant.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to polymers comprising conjugates of cyclodextrin or derivatives thereof and a linker moiety, methods of preparing the same and their application in the removal of lipids such as cholesterol from cells in treating lipid storage disorders. The present polymers exhibit improved properties including but not limiting to improved biocompatibility, improved retention time, prolonged duration of action in cells, and increased efficacy in removal of cholesterol from cells in treating lipid storage disorders.

Abstract: A method performed by a network node for handling a subscription to service in a communications network is provided. The network node detects that a subscriber's subscription has been deactivated from the communications network. The network node obtains data related to usage of the service and analyzes the data to determine one or more contacts of the subscriber that should be notified about the deactivated subscription. The network node initiates one or more notifications to the determined one or more contacts about the deactivated subscription.
