We have studied details of the molecular origin of slow secondary relaxation near T(g) in a series of neat polyalcohols by means of dielectric spectroscopy and (2)H NMR. From glycerol to threitol, xylitol, and sorbitol the appearance of the secondary

Invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells) recognize CD1d/glycolipid complexes. We demonstrate that the nonglycosidic compound threitolceramide efficiently activates iNKT cells, resulting in dendritic cell (DC) maturation and the priming of Ag-specific T and B cells. Threitolceramide-pulsed DCs are more resistant to
Differently protected erythro and threo furanoid glycals were synthesized by selenoxide elimination when phenyl 1-selenoglycosides were treated in oxidizing conditions (tBuOOH, Ti(O(i)Pr)(4), Et(2)(i)PrN). The phenyl 1-selenoglycosides were obtained from methyl 2-deoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranoside by protection of the primary hydroxyl or both hydroxyls
Some newly designed surface-active phosphates were investigated with respect to their capacity to inhibit caries lesion formation in vitro. On the labial or buccal surfaces of sound human third molars, windows were prepared for investigation. One half of each window

Recently, it has been proposed (M. Claeys et al., Science 2004; 303: 1173) that the atmospheric OH-radical-mediated photooxidation of isoprene is a source of two major secondary organic aerosol (SOA) components, that is, 2-methylthreitol and 2-methylerythritol. These diastereoisomeric tetrols, which
