(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The oleaginous microorganism Rhodococcus opacus PD630 was used to study the characteristics and kinetics of the accumulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in cells. In this process, accumulation of TAG is stimulated when a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Photo-responsive liquid crystal polymers (LCP) which contain azobenzene moieties have gained interest for their ability to change properties by merely irradiating them with the correct wavelength of light in the appropriate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The synthesis of complex microparticles is an important objective. These particles can find use in a number of applications ranging from tissue engineering to ceramics and assembly. Tuned assembly of anisotropic particles ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Magnetic particles have been used for many applications demanding a broad range of particles morphologies and chemistries. Superparamagnetism is advantageous over ferromagnetism because it enables us to control and recover ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics operates a centralized equipment cleaning and preparation suite at a vaccine production facility in Marburg, Germany. The ~100 pieces of multi-use stainless steel, glass, and plastic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The immunosuppressive effects of CD4⁺CD25⁺ regulatory T cells (Tregs) interfere with anti-tumor immune responses in cancer patients. In the first part of this work, we present a novel class of engineered Interleukin-2 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The main body of this work considers the design and development of a microfluidic, continuous electrochemical sensor capable of measuring accurate potential differences. The key challenge in creating such a device is the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Catalytic processes are ubiquitous in both research and industrial settings. As continuous flow processes continue to gain traction in research labs and fine and pharmaceutical chemical processes, new opportunities exist ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Chemoattractant gradients play important roles in the normal function of immune system, from lymphocyte homeostasis to mounting efficient immune responses against infection. Improved fundamental knowledge about the role ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)It is essential to control crystallization in many areas of science and technology, such as the production of pharmaceuticals, pigments, concrete, semiconductors, as well as the formation of biominerals. In most practical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The adaptive immune response is very important for our survival in that it gives us the capability of detecting a wide variety of foreign material, allows for the elimination of pathogens, and provides memory to protect ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The development of methodologies for C-N bond formation reactions is an important scientific challenge because of many academic and industrial applications. This work will focus particularly on palladium-catalyzed ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Amgen is a biotechnology company with manufacturing plants throughout the world. New manufacturing technologies are constantly being developed and implemented in order to address cost, quality, regulation, and competitive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Amgen is in the midst of a transformative initiative to become operationally more efficient. For Amgen Engineering, this initiative has prompted a reevaluation of the entire organization and brought to light the need to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) in vivo are associated with a variety of cellular modifications thought to be mutagenic or carcinogenic. These processes are likely mediated by reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Understanding the ways that matter deforms and flows, which is the focus of the branch of science known as rheology, is essential for the efficient processing and proper function of such practically and technologically ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)High-lipid algae are potential sources of biofuels. Lipids in this biomass provide a straightforward chemical route to hydrocarbon-based high energy-density fuels needed for diesel and jet engines. However, current schemes ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) with carbon dioxide capture is a promising technology to produce electricity from coal at a higher efficiency than with traditional subcritical pulverized coal (PC) power plants. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)DNA vaccines and gene therapies that use plasmid DNA (pDNA) as a vector have gained attention in recent years for their good safety profile, ease of manufacturing, and potential to treat a host of diseases. With this ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The nonlinear coupling between an exothermic chemical reaction and a nanowire or nanotube with large axial heat conduction guides a self-propagating thermal wave along the nano-conduit. The thermal conduit accelerates the ...
