Haydale announces that it has received confirmation from the European Patent Office (EPO) of the decision to grant a European Patent for its proprietary HDPlas® functionalisation process for graphene and other nanoparticulate materials.
The European Patent is the key process patent underlying the Company's proprietary functionalisation treatment and is one of a number arising from the families of patent applications surrounding Haydale's unique plasma functionalisation process. Haydale already has a granted patent in China and has visibility on the patent application in Australia, which is expected to proceed to grant within the next 3-4 months. Crucially, the European Patent is...
In Alzheimer’s disease proteins clump together to long fibrils causing the death of nerve cells.
Small heat shock proteins can counteract this effect. Scientists, therefore, hope to deploy them as agents in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Using the example of a small heat shock protein, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Helmholtz Zentrum München have now uncovered how the protein interacts with other proteins. Small heat shock proteins are the “catastrophe aid workers” of the cell...

University of Leicester researchers evaluate the effectiveness of testing methods
The process for screening for Type 2 diabetes or those at high risk of the condition needs “careful re-evaluation”, according to the first study on the effectiveness of testing methods. Diabetes screening has been advocated, yet information on the response and diagnostic rates of different screening strategies is not available. But researchers at the University of Leicester have now found that ‘multi-step’ programmes lead to more people responding...
