Andrew C. Marr, Shifang Liu. In the future, biomass will continue to emerge as a viable source of chemicals. The development of new industries that utilize bio-renewables provides opportunities for innovation. For example, bi….

Daniel C. Ducat, Jeffrey C. Way, Pamela A. Silver. Although many microorganisms have been used for the bioindustrial generation of valuable metabolites, the productive potential of cyanobacterial species has remained largely unexplored. Cyanobacte….

Matyas Kosa, Arthur J. Ragauskas. Heterotrophic oleaginous microorganisms are capable of producing over 20% of their weight in single cell oils (SCOs) composed of triacylglycerols (TAGs). These TAGs contain fatty acids, such as pa….

Fang Qian, Daniel E. Morse. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent an emerging technology for electricity generation from renewable biomass. Given the demand for a better understanding of the bio/inorganic interface that play….

Christian Humpel. The identification and validation of biomarkers for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other forms of dementia are increasingly important. To date, ELISA measurement of β-amyloid(1–42), total….

Antoine Harfouche, Richard Meilan, Arie Altman. Forest trees provide raw materials, help to maintain biodiversity and mitigate the effects of climate change. Certain tree species can also be used as feedstocks for bioenergy production. Achievin….

Mzia Kutateladze, Revaz Adamia. Over recent decades, a growing body of literature has validated the use of bacteriophages for therapy and prophylaxis in the war against drug-resistant bacteria. Today, much more is known about ba….

Karla Chaloupka, Yogeshkumar Malam, Alexander M. Seifalian. Nanosilver (NS), comprising silver nanoparticles, is attracting interest for a range of biomedical applications owing to its potent antibacterial activity. It has recently been demonstrated that N….

Daojing Wang, Steven Bodovitz. Cellular heterogeneity that arises from stochastic expression of genes, proteins and metabolites is a fundamental principle of cell biology, but single cell analysis has been beyond the capability….

Rajeev K. Varshney, Spurthi N. Nayak, Gregory D. May, Scott A. Jackson. Using next-generation sequencing technologies it is possible to resequence entire plant genomes or sample entire transcriptomes more efficiently and economically and in greater depth than ever bef….
