Assessing microbial competition in a hydrogen‐based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) using multidimensional modeling
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-09)
The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is a novel technology that safely delivers hydrogen to the base of a denitrifying biofilm via gas‐supplying membranes. While hydrogen is an effective electron donor for denitrifying ...
Biomass evolution in porous media and its effects on permeability under starvation conditions
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-07-05)
The purpose of this study was to understand bacteria profile modification and its applications in subsurface biological operations such as biobarrier formation, in situ bioremediation, and microbial-enhanced oil recovery. ...
Localized lentivirus delivery via peptide interactions
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.InTech, 2016-09)
Gene delivery from biomaterial scaffolds has been employed to induce the expression of tissue inductive factors for applications in regenerative medicine. The delivery of viral vectors has been described as reflecting a ...
Regulation of Myo-Inositol Homeostasis in Differentiated Human NT2-N Neurons
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-05)
We have investigated the possible role of second messengers on inositol homeostasis in NT2-N cells, human central nervous system neurons obtained by terminal differentiation of teratocarcinoma precursors. Uptake of inositol ...
Validation of a two-parameter quantitative structure–activity relationship as a legitimate tool for rational re-design of horseradish peroxidase
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-09-01)
Previously reported rates of reaction between six mutant strains of the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a test substrate, 2-methoyxpyhenol, were found to correlate with characteristic binding distances computed ...
Mold‐casted non‐degradable, islet macro‐encapsulating hydrogel devices for restoration of normoglycemia in diabetic mice
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-11)
Islet transplantation is a potential cure for diabetic patients, however this procedure is not widely adopted due to the high rate of graft failure. Islet encapsulation within hydrogels is employed to provide a three‐dimensional ...
Dynamic microRNA activity identifies therapeutic targets in trastuzumab‐resistant HER2+ breast cancer
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Springer, 2018-10)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in numerous physiologic and pathologic processes, such as the development of resistance to chemotherapy. Determining the role of miRNAs in these processes is often accomplished through ...
Recreating the perivascular niche ex vivo using a microfluidic approach
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-12-15)
Stem cell niches are composed of numerous microenvironmental features, including soluble and insoluble factors, cues from other cells, and the extracellular matrix (ECM), which collectively serve to maintain stem cell ...
Combinatorial lentiviral gene delivery of pro‐oligodendrogenic factors for improving myelination of regenerating axons after spinal cord injury
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2019-01)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in paralysis below the injury and strategies are being developed that support axonal regrowth, yet recovery lags, in part, because many axons are not remyelinated. Herein, we investigated ...
Inhibitory effects of the macrolide antimicrobial tylosin on anaerobic treatment
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-09-01)
A laboratory-scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was operated using a glucose-based synthetic wastewater to study the effects of tylosin, a macrolide antimicrobial commonly used in swine production, on treatment ...
