The phage-encoded PIT4 protein affects multiple two-component systems of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
urgently needed to develop alternative therapies. One path explored in this article is the use of bacteriophages and, more specifically, phage-derived proteins. In this study, a phage-derived protein was ...
Pyrogen testing of phage therapeutic products
amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assay and the animal-friendly alternative, the recombinant factor C (rFC) test. However, other (non-endotoxin) pyrogenic substances including compounds of the gram-positive bacterial ...
Characterization of a Bacteriophage GEC_vB_Bfr_UZM3 Active against.
Bacteriophages (phages) were found to be a successful antibacterial alternative to antibiotic therapy in many cases of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. We have characterized the bacteriophage ...
Development of vibrational spectroscopic methods combined with chemometrics for the detection and quantification of nicotine in e-liquids.
spectroscopy Nicotine RAMAN Abstract: E-cigarette have become a popular alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. They are sold in vapeshops and online. However, in Belgium, it is prohibited to import or to buy ...
Chemical and toxciological characterization of e-liquid cigarettes
(diacetyl and acetylpropionyl) which are toxic when inhaled are also present. In order to analyse the composition of the e-cigarettes and to check the e-liquids for the abovementioned issues, alternative ...
Development and validation of a HS/GC-MS method for the simultaneous analysis of diacetyl and acetylpropionyl in electronic cigarette refills
The use of e-cigarettes as alternative for tobacco cigarettes has become increasingly popular, even though their safety has not yet been scientifically established. One of the frequently raised concerns ...
Chromatographic fingerprinting as a strategy to identify regulated plants in illegal herbal supplements.
herbal alternatives. Furthermore, herbal supplements are increasingly gaining popularity in industrialized countries and, as a consequence, quality control is a highly important issue. Unfortunately, this ...
Inter-laboratory study of human in vitro toxicogenomics-based tests as alternative methods for evaluating chemical carcinogenicity: a bioinformatics perspective.
Transcriptome Workflow Abstract: The assessment of the carcinogenic potential of chemicals with alternative, human-based in vitro systems has become a major goal of toxicogenomics. The central read-out of these ...
Overview of skin whitening agents with an insight into the illegal cosmetic market in Europe.
these agents are used cosmetically, they are associated with a variety of side-effect. Alternative agents, such as arbutin and its derivatives kojic acid and nicotinamide have been subsequently developed ...
Linking existing in vitro dermal absorption data to physicochemical properties: Contribution to the design of a weight-of-evidence approach for the safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients with low dermal bioavailability.
in vivo studies for the purpose of the cosmetic legislation are no longer allowed in Europe and a validated in vitro alternative is not yet available, it is no longer possible to derive a NO (A) EL value ...
