15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15dPGJ2) has been recently proposed as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. However, the mechanisms by which 15dPGJ2 mediates its therapeutic effects in vivo are unclear. We demonstrate that 15dPGJ2 at micromolar (2.5–10 µM) concentrations induces the expression of heme…

Real-time holographic interferometry has been used to visualize the evolution of the polarization layer during dead-end ultrafiltration of PEG-10000. Several experiments at a constant pressure of 1 bar and varying the feed concentration of PEG-10000 (5–12.5 kg/m3) have been carried…

Despite of the advances achieved in the past years in order to design more natural interfaces between intelligent systems and humans, there is still a great effort to be done. Considering a robot as an intelligent system, the determination of…
