Ethanol utilization by sulfate-reducing bacteria: an experimental and modeling study.

abstract：:Current human gene therapy relies on genetic modification of the patient's own cells. An alternate nonautologous approach is to use universal cell lines engineered to secrete therapeutic products. Protection with immunoisolation devices before implantation would allow the use of the same recombinant cell line for trea...
