Modulation of the Expression of the Proinflammatory IL-8 Gene in Cystic Fibrosis Cells by Extracts Deriving from Olive Mill Waste Water

<table>Principle of molecular imprinting: MIPs are prepared by allowing a network polymer to form, in presence of a template, a structure able to target analytes. Elimination of the template, after polymerization, leaves behind a cavity, which is complementary to the template in terms of size and shape. MIPs can be programmed to recognize a large variety of small molecules (<i>SciTopics</i>.
