Modified calcium silicate-containing adhesive systems

A bioactive/therapeutic bonding agent containing modified calcium-silicate cements may accomplish this aim by replacing water from resin-sparse regions of the hybrid layer with apatite crystallites that are small enough to occupy the extrafibrillar and intrafibrillar compartments of the collagen mat...

MENTOR

In the MENTOR Project a new type of training box has been developed. The form of the device matches the form of a human abdomen during a laparoscopic procedure. To ensure multifunctionality one can use animal organ-complexes, artificial organs and even training pads (eg. FLS training pads) as traini...

A study of cerebrospinal fluid and serum levels of biomarkers (Aβ 42, GFAP, S-100β, oligoclonal IgG bands) in patients with multiple sclerosis and correlation with clinical parameters. A new diagnostic approach with probable therapeutic challenges.

CSF and blood examination provides a window into the changes that occur in the central nervous system (CNS) in health and disease. Through analysis of the CSF and blood, we discern indirectly the state of health of the CNS, and draw conclusions regarding mechanisms of CNS injury and repair. Of all t...

New organic materials with photo-activable antibacterial properties

Photodynamic therapy exploits the combined action of three elements, a sensitizing agent (the drug), light and oxygen to treat various kinds of tumors and diseases or to eradicate microbial pathogens. The photosensitizer agent is first administrated and becomes active only when irradiated with light...

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 ...

antigen microarray, antibody profiling, leukocyte activation

MEDiPRO (MEDical imaging PROcessing)

There are existing tools available (e.g. Analyze) but are based solely on brain atlas information, and take no advantage of current active contour based solutions. Active contours though take advantage of image information and by appropriate blending with prior knowledge inside their formulation the...

Brain, MRI, segmentation, hippocampus, amygdala

Experimental test bed station for control design of heterogeneous robot-sensor networks

An advanced research platform for development, testing and verification of control and spatial navigation algorithms for wireless, multi-agent robot-sensor networked systems. Concept of the corresponding experimental test-bed system (with hierarchy-distributed structure) adapted for laboratory (indo...
