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 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 ...
