The current treatments, against the epidermal growth factor (EGFR), have resistances, lack of specificity, limited efficacy, side effects and an increased cost, which limit their usage. The proposed solution, the derivative tEGFha, mimics the natural ligand, blocks its activation and inhibits the tu[…]

We propose a technology that allows the conversion of alkanes, alkyl fragments and alkenes to alcohols using only water, oxygen/air, ultraviolet light, and a recoverable metal catalyst (Bor-Cat). The process is performed in a single step, with a high production efficiency of between 90 to 99%, which[…]

We propose a technology that involves the use of a hydrophobic membrane to allow for a controllable, adjustable, cost-effective, and energy-free diffussion of hexanoate precursors. This new method will increase the production efficiency and purity of those valuable chemicals.[…]

We propose a simple technology that allows for the mechanical bonding of metal and composite materials, with reduced costs and cycle times. This technology also minimizes the damage to the composite material and does not increase the final weight of the piece. It is an easy implementation in the aut[…]
