Competitive and Cooperative Adsorption of Aromatic Acids and Bases onto a New Aminated Macroreticular Adsorbent by Wei-Ming Zhang, Jin-Long Chen, Bing-Cai Pan, Quan-Xing Zhang

“…At low equilibrium concentrations, the individual uptakes in the single-component systems were higher than those in binary-component systems because of competition between the two types of adsorbate molecules towards the adsorption sites. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that the total molar uptakes of adsorbates in the binary-component systems at high equilibrium concentrations were larger than the uptakes in the single-component systems. …”

Targeting TLR/IL-1R Signalling in Human Diseases by Maria Loiarro, Vito Ruggiero, Claudio Sette

“…In particular, we will focus on inhibitors, such as decoy peptides and synthetic mimetics, that interfere with protein-protein interactions between signalling molecules of the TLR/IL-1R superfamily. Given their central role in innate and adaptive immune responses, it is foreseen that pharmaceutical modulation of TLR/IL-1R signalling pathways by these drugs might yield clinical benefits in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.…”
