    摘要: Method for converting organic material into catalyst for biological hydrosynthesis, comprising providing organic material comprising at least one source of readily available carbon, at least one complex carbon-containing compound and at least one source of protein and contacting the organic material with preparatory catalyst is provided. The organic material is subjected to a size reduction process to produce size-reduced organic material and a solid to liquid ratio of the size-reduced organic material is adjusted to form organic material slurry. The organic material slurry is subjected to a fermentation process to produce amended organic material, by applying a process catalyst to at least a portion of the organic material slurry. A liquid is recovered from the amended organic material and transferred to a fermentation chamber, where it is subjected to a fermentation process to produce amended liquid by applying balancing catalyst to the liquid. The amended liquid is the catalyst.

    摘要: Polypeptides and uses thereof are provided. The polypeptide includes an N-terminal sequence and a C-terminal sequence, wherein the N-terminal sequence includes one or more repeating units including the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The use of a human structural material for tissue filling and augmentation is provided in the present disclosure, which is expected to have a wide range of applications in the fields such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and mid-face filling as it does not require transplantation from the human body, yet has the natural advantages of using human tissue for filling.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method to achieve digital quantification of DNA (i.e., counting differences between identical sequences) using direct shotgun sequencing followed by mapping to the chromosome of origin and enumeration of fragments per chromosome. The preferred method uses massively parallel sequencing, which can produce tens of millions of short sequence tags in a single run and enabling a sampling that can be statistically evaluated. By counting the number of sequence tags mapped to a predefined window in each chromosome, the over- or under-representation of any chromosome in maternal plasma DNA contributed by an aneuploid fetus can be detected. This method does not require the differentiation of fetal versus maternal DNA. The median count of autosomal values is used as a normalization constant to account for differences in total number of sequence tags is used for comparison between samples and between chromosomes.
