Isolation and study on the technological and probiotic characterization of Lactobacilli in traditional white Lighvan cheese

Background: Probiotics and especially Lactobacilli are among the most important components widely used in food technology. Isolation and characterization of indigenous probiotics should be performed in native populations. OBJECTIVES: In order to isolate lactobacillus spp. from Iranian traditional Lighvan cheese to be used as starters, 15 cheese samples were randomly selected and tested for tech...

Technological advances in teleradiology.

Teleradiology consists of a set of added-value telematic services, implemented over an advanced telecommunications infrastructure and supported by different information technologies and related applications. The main goal of teleradiology is to provide different levels of support for remote diagnostic imaging procedures. This paper considers technological advances in this important area, includ...

Technological advances in renal care.

The first systems for treating kidney failure were developed in the 1940's, when it was found that blood could be successfully cleared of toxins and returned to the body using a relatively simple device based on artificial sausage skin wrapped around a wooden frame. This process was used to replace the function of the kidney, allowing patients to recover from conditions such as poisoning or cru...

Technological advances in adoptive immunotherapy.

Adoptive immunotherapy is an attractive and elegant strategy for treating a variety of life-threatening diseases. Several approaches have been developed to generate antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells for adoptive T-cell therapy in cancer and infectious diseases. Currently, many approaches are based on either the use of autologous peptide pulsed dendritic cells as antigen-presenting cells or...
