20130139274 | B-CELL STIMULATING FUSION PROTEINS OF AN ANTIGEN WITH BAFF OR APRIL - The invention relates to the fields of molecular biology, medicine, virology and vaccine development. Because the different forms of the presently available vaccines all have their specific drawbacks, there is a need for alternative vaccine strategies. The current invention provides means and methods for such alternative vaccine strategies. | 05-30-2013 |
20130079384 | Means and Methods for Determining Risk of Cardiovascular Disease - The invention relates to medicine, in particular to internal medicine and/or cardiology. The present invention provides means and methods for typing a sample and identifying and/or treating a patient suffering from or at risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease by measuring mi RNA present in a sample of said patient. The present invention further provides means and methods for identifying new cardiovascular disease therapies. | 03-28-2013 |
20130028373 | Mammography-Apparatus - Mammography-apparatus for detecting malignant cells in a breast comprising an x-ray source and an x-ray detector that cooperates with the x-ray source for providing an x-ray image of said breast, and further comprising a paddle for flattening the breast by pressing it against said x-ray detector, wherein at least one sensor is applied for measuring a parameter that is used for determining the pressure at which the paddle compresses the breast, and wherein a control system is provided which controls the actuation of the paddle depending on the pressure that is applied to the breast, wherein there is a contact area measuring unit for measuring the contact area between the breast and the paddle. | 01-31-2013 |
20110245666 | Mammography-Apparatus and Method for Screening the Occurrence of Malignant Cells - A mammography-apparatus for detecting malignant cells in a breast comprising an X-ray source, an X-ray detector and a paddle for pressing the breast against said X-ray detector, wherein the mammography-apparatus further comprises a non-focussed laser-beam source for pulsed laser-light, which during use is aimed at the breast, and said apparatus comprises at least one non-contact ultrasound detector for contact-free detection of an ultrasound originating from said breast so as to screen the occurrence or non-occurrence of said malignant cells. | 10-06-2011 |
20110077702 | Means and Methods for Influencing Electrical Activity of Cells - The invention provides means and methods for providing a cell with a spontaneous electrical activity and means and methods for increasing the depolarization rate of a cell having a spontaneous electrical activity. Means and methods are provided comprising: | 03-31-2011 |
20100255523 | Device and method for determining the concentration of a substance - Described are methods for determining a concentration of a substance in a compartment comprising exciting an endogenous compound, or a functional part, derivative, analogue or precursor thereof, measuring the lifetime of the luminescence and/or transient absorption exhibited by the compound, functional part, derivative, analogue and/or precursor, and correlating the lifetime with the concentration of the substance. | 10-07-2010 |
20100093038 | Means and Methods for Influencing the Stability of Cells - The invention provides a method for influencing the stability of an antibody producing cell, comprising directly or indirectly influencing the amount of BCL6 and/or Blimp 1 expression product within said antibody producing cell. Stable antibody producing cells and cell lines are also provided, as well as methods for producing antibodies using such cells and/or cell lines. | 04-15-2010 |
