An integrated approach: advances in the use of Clostridium for biofuel.

abstract：:Long-term research on RNA interference led to an unfathomed understanding of the mechanism of siRNA-mediated silencing and finally siRNA has emerged as a powerful therapeutic tool. With siRNAs virtually every gene in the human genome contributing to a disease becomes amenable to regulation, thus opening unprecedented ...

abstract：:A proper supply of nutrients to cells in engineered tissues is paramount for an optimal development and survival of these tissues. However, especially in tissues with clinically relevant sizes, the mass transport of nutrients into the tissue is often insufficient to sustain all the cells within the tissue. This is not...

abstract：:Xylan is the main carbohydrate found in the hemicellulosic fraction of plant tissues and accounts for one third of all renewable organic carbon available on earth. Xylanase, the major component of an enzymatic consortium, acts in nature by depolymerizing xylan molecules into monomeric pentosan units that are used by b...
