  • Method for the production of conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids with heterogenous catalysts
    Patent number: 9150486
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), preferably conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), using finely dispersed heterogeneous metal catalysts on a mesoporous support, in the absence of Hg. The present invention also relates to a method to increase the large microporosity and (optionally) the small mesoporosity of a zeolite, thus obtaining a modified zeolite having a large and highly accessible internal surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2015
    Assignee: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
    Inventors: Jan Geboers, Steven Goossens, An Philippaerts, Bert Sels

  • ?-catenin expressed in heart and testis
    Patent number: 7341866
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel ?-catenin with a new, specific expression pattern in mainly heart and testis. The invention further relates to the use of this ?-catenin in the prediction, diagnosis, and/or treatment of cadherin-catenin related diseases, in particular cardiomyopathies and male infertility.
