[PROJECT] FOODSECURE - Exploring the Future of Global Food and Nutrition Security
ID: 290693
Start date: 2012-03-01, End date: 2017-02-28
One of the biggest challenges facing global society today is the widespread and growing presence of hunger and food insecurity. Given that the lead time for some social and technological solutions is long, a long-term framework on global food and nutrition security (FNS) is r...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Prototype of a flow cell for particle structuring
The flow cell for particle generating and structuring of such particles in non-equilibrium shapes consists out of three major unit-operations: Sizing, Deformation and Gelling of the dispersed phase that is injected into a co-flowing continuous phase. Due to optimised tuning of...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Role of oxidative stress in ochratoxin A-toxicity in vivo and mechanism of ochratoxin A toxicity in vitro
Biomarkers of oxidative stress have been analysed. The stress response was inconsistent regarding the different parameters however, a striking effect on the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was observed in cell cultures correlated with a significant increase in protein n...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Interference with thyroid hormone (T3) action as a possible mechanism for ochratoxin A toxicity
In aggregating brain cell cultures, 2-20 nM OTA elicited cell type-specific effects, while at higher concentrations general cytotoxicity was observed. Measurements at the mRNA level using real-time RT-PCR showed that 10nM OTA rapidly and significantly upregulated the inducible...

[REPORT SUMMARY] New design of microfabricated optical cells
Microfabricated optical cells reported for fluorescence based analysis generally offer an optical path length limited to the substrate thickness, i.e. a reduced sample volume. Larger volume are highly desirable to increase the overall analysis sensitivity. The proposed optical...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Intermediates in the reaction of iron(II) with hydrogen peroxide
The reaction of iron(II) with hydrogen peroxide is normally studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Given a mixing time of at best 2 ms, it is possible that the reaction proceeds via an ironoxo(IV) intermediate that decays within the mixing time. With the pulse radiolyis te...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Mechanism of S-nitrosothiol decomposition
Aside from the reaction of iron(II) complexes with peroxides that yield reactive radicals, the Fenton reaction, iron also catalyzes the decompositions of nitrosothiols that play a role in the homostasis of vascular tension.
The mechanisms of S-nitrosothiol transformation int...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Redox-cycling of iron complexes and inhibition by nitrogen monoxide
The toxicity of iron is believed to originate from the reaction of a Fe(II) complex with hydrogen peroxide that produces HO". NO" slows the rate of the oxidation (as studied by stopped?flow spectrophotometry) of Fe(II) bound to citrate, atp and various aminopolycarboxylates by...
