Protection System for Vertical Geothermal Probes
The invention is an innovative way to install the Probes in the ground: this becomes a valid support to designers, Probes installers and final users because it increases Vertical Geothermal Probes reliability, compared to the state of the art. Probes, in fact, are no longer being inserted directly i...

FormCell - A novel formal informatics approach to cell biology research
Though authors usually make difference between micro and macro world exclusively for didactical reasons, we tried to match these two, while keeping in mind that our model should resemble in vivo circumstances as much as possible. Modular structure gives a chance of easy development processing: we wo...
Type IV collagen mutations in the fruit fly Drosophila as a model for muscle dystrophy
High throughput screening system for hundreds of anti-dystrophic drugs....
Utilization of cells for immune profiling on antigen microarrays
Unlike secondary antibodies cells are capable of integrating signals derived from Fc and complement receptors, thereby reflecting functional effects of immune complexes. Detectably labeled white blood cells bind to different components of the immune system with different avidity and integrate these ...

New type of layer silicate nanocomposites of polymer hydrogels and their use in tissue expanders
According to our studies, nanocomposites implanted subcutaneously retained their chemical stability throughout the period studied; the kinetics of welling is satisfactory, and, due to their mechanical and geometrical stability, nanocomposites ensure proportional skin expansion. The volume expansion ...

Stimulating muscle regeneration
The researcher able to stimulate the muscle fibre own regeneration system by a simple transfection method. The invention is able to use in cases of degenerative-regenerative muscle disorders (like Duchenne syndrome) and other muscle atrophy cases or part of rehabilitation treatment after muscle inju...

Hellenic Evaluation System for the ecological quality of rivers
The investigation of water quality is conducted widely through the use of biological indicators based on benthic macroinvertebrates. The developed Helenic Evaluation System (Artemiadou & Lazaridou, 2005) uses the biological characteristics of the composition of the community of invertebrates that li...

MeSHy, a Web-based Biotext Mining Tool for Unanticipated Knowledge Discovery
MeSHy was developed implementing a mainly statistical algorithm. The algorithm searches PubMed for documents relevant to a user’s query and ranks the pairs of their MeSH terms promoting unusual occurrences. The first in rank MeSH term pairs (and therefore the corresponding documents) more often than...
