20150253285 | NON-THERMOSENSITIVE MEDIUM FOR ANALYZING SPECIES IN A CHANNEL AND FOR MINIMIZING ABSORPTION AND/OR ELECTROOSOMOSIC PHENOMENA - An aqueous liquid medium for analyzing, purifying or separating species in an element having walls or for treating the walls of an element. The medium includes at least a polymer consisting of several polymeric segments. The polymer is of the irregular block-copolymer or irregular comb-like polymer type and has on the average at least three junction points between polymeric segments of different chemical or topological nature. The medium may be used in methods for analyzing, purifying or separating species and methods for treating an element to be contacted with a fluid and/or species contained in the fluid during preservation, transport, analysis, purification or separation of the fluid. | 09-10-2015 |
20150010485 | USE OF MICRORNA MOLECULES TO INFLUENCE SKIN PIGMENTATION - At least one microRNA selected from among hsa-miR-330, hsa-miR-7 and hsa-miR-137, the mature forms thereof, and the precursors thereof, for depigmenting the skin, and an in vitro method for identifying depigmenting compounds, which includes the steps of: a) placing at least one test compound in contact with a sample of melanocytes; b) measuring the expression or activity of at least one microRNA selected from among miR-330, miR-7 and miR-137, the mature forms thereof, and the precursors thereof, in the melanocytes; c) selecting the compounds for which at least 20% activation of the expression or of the activity of at least one of the microRNAs is measured in the melanocytes treated in a) by an element for comparing with the untreated melanocytes. | 01-08-2015 |
20100104480 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE BONDING PROPERTIES OF MICROSTRUCTURED SUBSTRATES, AND DEVICES PREPARED WITH THIS METHOD - A method for treating the surface of a polymerio substrate, including the following steps: providing a first polymeric substrate; contracting at least one part of one face of the first substrate with some liquid solvent system, the liquid solvent system containing at least a first volatile compound and at least a second compound having a low molecular weight and able to swell and/or soften the polymeric material forming the face; letting at least the volatile compound to evaporate from the face of the first substrate and; contracting the so-treated face of first substrate with a third material. | 04-29-2010 |
