Abstract: The commercial production of therapeutic or diagnostic proteins in recombinant micro- organisms is of considerable interest. Several microbial protein production systems have been developed. So far, Escherichia coli have been the commonly employed host. However, proteins expressed in this host remain intracellular and often precipitate as inclusion bodies, which may seriously complicate downstream- processing. […]
Abstract: This paper is in continuation of the author’s earlier work on Cuba. It builds upon a similar presentation at the 14th International Scientific Congress held in Havana, Cuba in late June-early July 2005. The eclectic theoretical background for this analysis is provided by the general Modernization Theory and the World System Theory. The focus […]
Abstract: In this paper are shown the main trends for the use of propolis based on the patent or invention documents. Information is given on the owners, innovators, international patent classification, subject groups and priority countries. The obtained results show that propolis is a natural product of interest for the current technological and scientific world, […]
