Chemical and electrochemical modification of kraft lignin to value-added products
(2012-11-10)Lignin is one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth, constituting approximately 30% of the dry weight of softwoods and 20% of hardwoods. It is a renewable, non-toxic, commercially available and low cost natural resource ... -
Novel toll-like receptor 4 ligands: synthesis, biological studies and applications in molecular vaccines
(2015-06-15)Lipid A, a unique disaccharide glycolipid, is the active principle of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide in activating the innate immune response via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Given the important role that ... -
Synthesis of alginate neoglycolipids / by Rongsong Xu.
(2007)Innate immunity, one of two arms of the immune system, can provide more rapid defense mechanisms than adaptive immunity in human immune defense systems. The innate immune system recognizes invading pathogens by binding a ... -
Synthesis of novel Lipid A analogs as potential ligands for toll-like receptor 4
(2009)Lipid A, the glycolipid component of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide has been shown to engage the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signalling pathway. While this signalling cascade results in cellular mediators which ...
