Tecnon OrbiChem, a global leader in providing data and analysis for the petrochemical industry, will host the second Polyester & Intermediates Conference to be held from 3 to 5 June 2009 at the Marriott Hotel in Frankfurt (Germany ).

The conference program includes 39 presentations that demonstrate the confidence of the polyester industry in a return to growth while the current economic uncertainty starts to decrease. Submissions for the improvement of economic processes are well represented, covering the integration of the plant, especially with Polycondensation in PTA, PET bottles for recycling into new bottles and improvements in the polymerization and solid state. The event also offers a first class opportunity to learn about the development of supplies of raw materials, the present state of the world grain markets and new applications that do not need to fabric. Specialists from all sectors of industry in the polyester will be present to assist the delegates to keep up with changes in the company, new sources of supply and diversification opportunities.

Investigators from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and California (USA) have discovered a molecular mechanism involved in the development of autoimmune diseases like lupus. These are the receptors LXR (Liver X Receptors) that regulate the removal of the remains of dead cells by apoptosis, a process that, when it fails, it causes inflammation of surrounding tissue and the body's immune response. The research, conducted with mice, opens the door to the use of these receptors as therapeutic targets for these diseases.

Antonio Castrillo, CSIC researcher at the Institute for Biomedical Research (Joint CSIC and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) and director of research, explains: "The research in mice has shown that in the absence of these receptors, the process of removal of dead cells is severely compromised. "According to the research, these receptors, proteins residing in the cell nucleus and known so far for its role in cholesterol metabolism, regulate the expression of an important gene involved in removal of cellular debris.
