ACTIVITY AND SAFETY OF SYNTHETIC LECTINS BASED ON BENZOBOROXOLE-FUNCTIONALIZED POLYMERS FOR INHIBITION OF HIV ENTRY.

Lectins derived from plant and microbial sources constitute a vital class of entry inhibitors that target the oligomannose residues on the HIV envelope gp120. Despite their potency and specificity, success of lectin-based entry inhibitors may be impeded by high manufacturing... Read More

AN IN VITRO APPROACH TO ASSESS THE TOXICITY OF INHALED TOBACCO SMOKE COMPONENTS: NICOTINE, CADMIUM, FORMALDEHYDE AND URETHANE.

This study by researchers at Cardiff University demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiAirway human airway in vitro tissue model is an excellent tool for screening the toxicity of inhaled compounds. One of the first lines of defence to inhaled toxins is the... Read More

GENOMIC BIOMARKERS OF PULMONARY EXPOSURE TO TOBACCO SMOKE COMPONENTS.

This study by researchers at the Cardiff University School of Biosciences demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiAirway in vitro human tracheal/bronchial tissue equivalent can be used to accurately model the genetic effects of tobacco smoke component exposure on human respiratory epithelium. Background:... Read More
