The invention relates to an amorphous calcium phosphate/bioactive glass composite material (ACP/BG). This composite material possesses both the short-time ion release capability of ACP as well as the long-time ion release of BG and thus (i) efficiently remineralizes damaged enamel, and (ii) induces the formation of a new HA layer onto enamel and dentin surface. The ACP/BG composite material is obtained by embedding BG particles in a matrix of ACP nanoparticles in order to maximize homogenization between the two components and to produce a composite with high uniformity from the macro- to the nano-scale. This has been achieved with a process that includes a step of precipitating ACP onto BG particles. The BG particles can be nano-, micro-, or macro-particles. The particles can also be porous or mesoporous The invention relates also to the use of the composite material of the invention for use in the prevention of dental demineralization and to boost remineralization. In other words, the composite material here disclosed is used as remineralizing agent thanks to its ability to restore the structure and preserve the mechanical properties of dental hard tissues by releasing Ca2+and PO4 3− ions, thereby mimicking the spontaneous remineralization process induced by saliva. The composite material can also be used for bone regeneration.

To monitor infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and successful vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the kinetics of neutralizing or blocking anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers need to be assessed. Here, we report the development of a quick and inexpensive surrogate SARS-CoV-2 blocking assay (SUBA) using immobilized recombinant human ACE-2 (hACE-2, ACE-2) and human cells expressing the native form of surface SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Spike protein-expressing cells bound to hACE-2 in the absence or presence of blocking antibodies were quantified by measuring the optical density of cell-associated crystal violet in a spectrophotometer. The advantages are that SUBA is a fast and inexpensive assay which does not require biosafety level 2- or 3- approved laboratories. Most importantly, SUBA detects blocking antibodies against the native trimeric cell-bound SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and can quickly be adjusted to quickly pre- screen already approved therapeutic antibodies or sera from vaccinated individuals for their ACE-2 blocking activities against any emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

The invention relates to an electrode structure for guiding and, for example, splitting a charged particle beam, for example an electron beam, along a longitudinal path, having multipolar electrode assemblies which are mutually spaced along the longitudinal path and which comprise DC voltage electrodes. The electrode assemblies are designed to generate static multipolar fields which are centered about the path on transversal planes oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal path, wherein the field strength of each of the static multipolar fields on the transversal planes has a local minimum at the location of the path, and the field strength increases as the distance to the location of the path increases. Field directions of the static multipolar fields vary periodically along the path with a period length such that the particles propagating along the path are exposed to a non-homogenous electric alternating field on the basis of the inherent movement of the particles and are subjected to a transversal restoring force in the direction of the longitudinal path, averaged over time.
