20110117066	ESTABLISHED HUMAN BROWN ADIPOCYTE LINE AND METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIATION FROM AN HMADS CELL LINE - The subject matter of the invention is a functional population of human brown adipocytes, in which the expression of UCP1, CIDEA, CPT1B and Bcl2 is higher, the expression of Bax is lower and the expression of PPAR-alpha, PGC-1alpha, PGC-1beta and PRDM16 is similar compared with the corresponding expressions of a population of human white adipocytes. The invention also relates to a method for differentiation of hMADS cells into the functional population of human brown adipocytes, to a method for conversion of a population of human white adipocytes into the functional population of human brown adipocytes, and also to a method of screening for molecules capable of modulating the bodyweight in an individual.	05-19-2011

20100160466	FILLED NANOPOROUS POLYMER MEMBRANE COMPOSITES FOR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND METHODS FOR MAKING THEM - A new class of membranes for use in protective clothing. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polymer-polymer membrane with an ionic polymer located within the nanopores of a porous polymer host membrane. A method for making the polymer-polymer membranes involves filling porous polymers with ionic polymers. The porous polymers may be fabricated by a template synthesis which involves sorption. The ionic polymers may be filled in the nanopores of the porous polymer by plasma-induced graft copolymerization of the ionic polymer with the porous polymeric host membrane.	06-24-2010
