    摘要: Secondary metabolites of viable plant cells are produced with the cells immobilized in a porous inorganic support. Immobilization includes the steps of: (a) preparing a support comprising a substantially uniform and porous matrix of inorganic material having a tensile strength of at least 500 MPa; (b) introducing a culture of viable plant cells into the pores of said matrix; (c) entrapping the plant cells by coating the matrix with a sol or colloidal suspension not interfering with the cell viability; and (d) immobilizing the entrapped cells within the matrix with a reactive gas including a carrier gas saturated with volatile SiO.sub.2 or organic modified SiO.sub.2 precursors. The tensile strength may be provided by impregnating the matrix with a gelling solution of SiO.sub.2 precursor for increasing stiffness of the matrix. The matrix may be a SiO.sub.2 or inorganic oxide matrices, in which the weight ratio between cell load and inorganic matrix ranges between 1.times.10.sup.-4 and 1.times.10.sup.-2. The immobilized cells are not released in solution over a period of 6 months and maintain their viability while producing secondary metabolites.

    摘要: A suspension of animal cells is incubated with supports to adhere the cells to the supports. Preferably, the supports have pores that provide pore volume, and the cells are grown during incubation until most of the available pore volume is filled with cells. An encapsulating layer is then formed around the supported cells by exposing the cells on the supports to a reactive gas composed of a carrier gas such as sterile air saturated with an inorganic alkoxide followed by treatment with steam to hydrolyze residual alkoxide groups. The encapsulated cells are stored by immersion in culture media. The cells may be in the form of cell aggregates, and the supports can be sterilized. The supports and encapsulating layer can have pores of a size that permit free exchange nutrients and metabolic products, and excludes the cells from contacting antibodies or immune cells when implanted. The encapsulated cells can used in an extracorporeal device or implanted directly.

    摘要: A catalyst for hydrogen generation from an alkaline aqueous solution of hydrogen containing salts comprising a silicon-based ceramic surface covered with a mixture of metals known as transition metals and noble metals. The silicon-based ceramic surface may be self-supporting or may be deposited as a thin film on a carbonaceous substrate. The carbonaceous surface may be self-supporting or be in the form of a film that is supported on a substrate of a fourth material, where the fourth material has the function of providing physical support to the substrate. The said carbonaceous substrate can be made from a solid material or from a porous structure, of which carbon nanotube paper, also known as Bucky paper, is one example.
