Land application systems for urban wastewater treatment of small built-up areasA Land Application Systems (Figure 1) is a plot area, sized according to the influent to be treated, which has forests installed and is irrigated with wastewater. The residual water partially evaporates and the rest is taken up by the roots of trees and filtered through the soil. Before application to the soil, it is desirable to introduce a primary treatment system, to remove coarse solids, sand, grease and solids. But these systems provide more than just simple purification, because while treating the water, we are also producing biomass with high economic value. Unlike conventional waste water treatment systems, no external energy input is needed, so the running and maintenance costs are greatly reduced. Furthermore, it is a robust technology and the operation is simple. This technology is therefore ideal for treatment of urban waste water from small towns, with strong flow oscillations.

LapC-FORCE: Surgical device to improve laparotomy closure for incisional hernia preventionA multidisciplinary team involving doctors and engineers developed a medical device to cover the surgeons’ need at the moment of closing a laparotomy. With real-time information on force and distance, surgeons may decide the most appropriate closure technique and materials to be used for each single patient for reducing the laparotomy’s closing force and therefore, to prevent incisional hernias. We currently have a prototype medical device that measures the closing force between edges in a laparotomy. It was designed and tested in non-regulatory preclinical trials using pigs. We are looking for an industrial partner with expertise in the sector of medical devices willing to add in its product pipeline a new surgery device to assist surgeons during a laparotomy. The type of partner sought is mainly for regulatory development and commercialization under a technology license agreement.

Lateral connection system by removable clamps for I or H profilesThe presented system allows detachable lateral connections, at right angles, type ‘cross beam to column flange’ of I and H standard profiles made of steel. The system uses standard mounting clamps without previous specific machining operations (as may be welding or drilling). This patent consists in a lateral connection system at 90º angles of metal profiles type I or H, using supports pieces with slotted holes that allow the attachment of various sizes of standard profiles. For assembling the connecting support pieces, mounting clamps with bolts, nuts and flat washers are used. The supports are attached to the profile flanges, first to column flange, and then to the beam one. Innovative aspects and advantages The presented system allows detachable lateral connections, at right angles, type ‘cross beam to column flange’ of I and H standard profiles made of steel.

LIH383: Novel Modulator Of The Opioid System Regulator ACKR3LIH383 is a novel highly potent and specific negative modulator of ACKR3, developed by Dr Andy Chevigné, Head of Immunopharmacology and Interactomics, and Dr Martyna Szpakowska. It is an octapeptide (short chain of eight amino acids) with high selectivity and subnanomolar affinity for ACKR3. It was engineered by introducing a series of mutations to adrenorphin. Compared with other natural opioid ligands, its sequence (FGGFMRRK) confers it maximum specificity and affinity for ACKR3 and minimum selectivity and affinity for other opioid receptors. LIH383 therefore binds to and blocks ACKR3, thereby modulating the availability of opioid peptides that can bind to classical opioid receptors in the brain and potentiating their natural painkilling and antidepressant properties. LIH383 is therefore a positive regulator of the opioid system. In a nutshell, LIH383 presents the following advantages: > Subnanomolar potency > High selectivity for ACKR3 > Short chain (8 amino acids) > Easy to synthesise/customise

LipidPro - Fluorescent dye for detection of lipid aggregates in living cells and other samplesFamily of dyes to be used in fluorescence microscopy imaging of cells in culture or entire organisms, including live cell imaging. The fluorophores are not toxic, and preferentially bind to lipid aggregates, such as intracellular lipid droplets. They also light up cells by binding weakly to several subcellular structures. Importantly, the fluorophores change color with the polarity of the environment and may be used to initially characterize alterations in organelle polarity. The most promising fluorophore, LipidPro, has been tested in fibroblast-based High Throughput Screens for the diagnosis of Faber’s disease.

Liquid biopsy for early detection of cancer or precision medicineScientists at EMBL-EBI, CNIC and CSIC have discovered a new type of telomere fusion that is not present in blood from healthy donors but can be detected well in the blood of cancer patients. They developed computational tools for the reliable identification of these fusions. Additionally, predictive models have been established that allow for the detection of the presence of a tumour using sequencing data from a blood sample. We hereby present an approach for a highly specific, minimally invasive and early detection of cancer. The sensitivity and false positive rate are comparable to recent liquid biopsy analysis methods. The performance of the tools is comparable across cancer stages. The tool has been validated using close to 10,000 whole genome sequencing datasets.

Liver-on-a-chip for Disease Modeling and Drug ScreeningDrug discovery is oftentimes hindered by inadequate disease models. For diseases affecting the liver 2D hepatocyte culture models are generally used which fail to recapitulate the organ functions and pathophysiologies. Organ-on-a-chip technique has recently gained attention for liver modeling, and several devices containing different liver cell types have been developed. The present invention is a liver-on-a-chip (LoC) device which contains hepatocytes and cholangiocytes (bile duct epithelial cells) therefore reproducing the hepatic region around the bile duct in 3D for the first time.
