摘要:
A method and preferred apparatus (10) to cut a preform material which is biodegradable and preferably dispersible in water, to produce a shaped article, is described. The cut is produced without producing harmful fumes or leaving a harmful residue and preferably without charring at the cut. Preferably, only small amounts of carbon dioxide and water are produced at the cut. Shaped articles which are in sheet or block form or which are for 2-D or 3-D shaped article formation can be produced.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for position selection of viable cells based upon differing chemical or physical properties or dynamic processes using a focussed radiant energy beam, such as a laser beam (11) to kill unwanted cells or to isolate wanted cells is described. The apparatus includes microscope means (14) and cell detection means (27) for identifying the cells to be killed or saved and attenuator means (12) for modifying the beam to prevent destruction of cells to be saved.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for positive selection of viable cells based upon differing chemical or physical properties or dynamic processes using a focussed radiant energy beam, such as a laser beam (11) to kill unwanted cells is described. The apparatus includes a microscope (14) with a photomultiplier (27) which is used to selectively detect light from certain cells produced by an attenuated laser beam irradiating the cells for identifying the cells to be killed or saved. Based upon identification, selected cells to be killed are exposed to the unattenuated laser beam.
摘要:
A nanofibrillar structure for cell culture and tissue engineering is disclosed. The nanofibrillar structure can be used in a variety of applications including methods for proliferating and/or differentiating cells and manufacturing a tissue. Also disclosed is an improved nanofiber comprising a lipid, lipophilic molecule, or chemically modified surface. The nanofibers can be used in a variety of applications including the formation of nanofibrillar structures for cell culture and tissue engineering.

摘要:
The assemblies of the invention can comprise a fine fiber layer forming a multilamellar web or matrix, having dispersed within the fine fiber layer a bioactive particulate material, including cells, enzymes or microorganisms. Fluid that flows through the assemblies of the invention can have any material dispersed or dissolved in the fluid react with, be absorbed by, or adsorbed onto, the bioactive particulate within the nanofiber layer. The assemblies of the invention can be used to treat or purify fluid streams. The assemblies of the invention can be used in conjunction with a bioreactor system, a bioartificial organ, or a culture container.
摘要:
A DNA fragment encoding a carbohydrate binding lectin BJ38 in chromosomal DNA of Bradyrhizobium japonicum is described. The DNA is used as a source of the lectin, as a probe and as DNA for recombinant strains of rhizobium with enhanced nodulation and production in legumes.

摘要:
The present invention discloses the mechanism of tamoxifen mediated inhibition of acidification. This mechanism information is then used to design methods of identifying compounds that will have the pharmaceutical effect of tamoxifen without the corresponding side-effects.
