Effects of cannabinoids on cholinergic-mediated contraction of human bronchi
UPRES EA220

The current study was performed to investigate the role of cannabinoid (CB) receptors on the cholinergic contraction of isolated human airways. Results obtained with WIN55,212-2 (CB1/CB2 agonist), JWH-133 (CB2 agonist) and CB receptor selective antagonists suggest that CB1-receptor stimulation inhibits the cholinergic contraction in human isolated bronchi through stimulation of prejunctional receptors, located to post-ganglionic cholinergic nerves.

Emerging Markets for Microfluidic Applications
Published May 2007

Drug discovery remains today the first microfluidics market. Microfluidics key advantage is to enable higher analysis throughput while decreasing analysis time and cost. Firstly used at the system level for liquid handling, microfluidics technology is also successfully integrated in cartridges for research applications.

Personalized Medicine Market Report 2007
Published April 2007

This report presents the latest industry analysis of the emerging field of Personalized Medicine. There is increasing interest in this field driven by the development of a number of molecular diagnostics-based tests that determine a patient’s genetic predisposition to a given disease—such as cancer, or to adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
