Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is a thermally-based, remediation and waste-treatment process that relies on unique property changes of water when water is heated and pressurized above its critical point. Above its ...

Antisense oligonucleotides have the potential to selectively inhibit the expression of any gene with a known sequence. Antisense-based therapies are under development for the treatment of infectious diseases as well as ...

Poly(methyl methacrylate)s (PMMA) containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles (d [approx.] 1.5 nm) were subjected to heological, mechanical, and morphological tests to determine the effects that ...

The lack of correlation between in vitro and in vivo gene delivery experiments presents a significant obstacle in the progress of gene therapy studies by preventing the extrapolation of successful cell culture results into ...

Diseases such as diabetes, some forms of cancer, hyper-tension, auto-immune diseases, and some viral diseases are characterized by complex interactions within the human body. Efforts to understand and treat these diseases ...

Fillers are often added to polymers improve stiffness at the cost of reduced toughness, but this tradeoff is not universal. Well-dispersed microscopic particles have been shown to improve toughness and stiffness simultaneously ...

(cont.) to determine the CO₂ uptake rates and PHB production rates of strains engineered for enhanced CO₂ fixation and PHB production respectively.
