Continuous Flow Synthesis of Hexyl Laurate Using Immobilized Thermomyces Lanuginosus Lipase from Residual Babassu Mesocarp.

Brazil has one of the greatest biodiversities on the planet, where various crops play a strategic role in the country's economy. Among the highly appreciated biomasses is babassu, whose oil extraction generates residual babassu mesocarp (BM), which still needs new strategies for valorization. This work aimed to use BM as a support for the immobilization of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) in an 8.

and Brazilian Brown Algae and Their Bioactive Diterpenes-A Review.

Dictyotaceae algae have gained recognition as prolific producers of diterpenes, which are molecules with significant biotechnological potential. These diterpenes hold immense promise as potential active drug components, making the algae a compelling area of study. The present review aims to present the latest advancements in understanding the biopotential of Brazilian Dictyota and Canistrocarpus brown algae, shedding light on the remarkable diversity and the biological and pharmacological potential of the secondary metabolites they produce.

Marrow fibrosis predicts early fatal marrow failure in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.

Unlabelled: Marrow fibrosis (MF) has rarely been studied in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). There are no data on occurrence and significance of MF in the context of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of disease. In total, 349 bone marrow biopsies from 200 patients with primary MDS were examined for MF and its prognostic relevance.

Diagnosis and quantification of bone marrow fibrosis are significantly biased by the pre-staining processing of bone marrow biopsies.

Aims: Marrow fibrosis (MF) is an unfavourable, often lethal complication of haematological neoplasms. Although biopsy technique and staining procedure are standardized, the prestaining processing of bone marrow biopsies (BMBs) varies markedly without any existing data on its significance for the diagnosis of MF.

Methods And Results: In this study on 712 BMBs from 296 patients with chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (CIMF), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), or healthy bone marrow, MF was a characteristic complication of CML and CIMF.

Treatment intensity significantly influencing fibrosis in bone marrow independently of the cytogenetic response: meta-analysis of the long-term results from two prospective controlled trials on chronic myeloid leukemia.

Bone marrow fibrosis (MF) has been shown to indicate therapy failure in Ph(+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, the results on the development of MF during interferon-alpha therapy of CML are controversial. The significance of the interferon dose has not been considered as yet.
