Denise Bechet, Pierre Couleaud, Céline Frochot, Marie-Laure Viriot, François Guillemin, Muriel Barberi-Heyob. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cancer treatment involves the uptake of a photosensitizer by cancer tissue followed by photoirradiation. The use of nanoparticles as carriers of photosensitizers is a….

Jonathan A. Kluge, Olena Rabotyagova, Gary G. Leisk, David L. Kaplan. Spider silks are characterized by remarkable diversity in their chemistry, structure and functions, ranging from orb web construction to adhesives and cocoons. These unique materials have prompted….

Benoit Van Aken. Phytoremediation is the use of plants to clean up environmental pollution. However, detoxification of organic pollutants by plants is often slow, leading to the accumulation of toxic compounds tha….

Vincent G.H. Eijsink, Gustav Vaaje-Kolstad, Kjell M. Vårum, Svein J. Horn. Enzymatic conversion of structural polysaccharides in plant biomass is a key issue in the development of second generation (‘lignocellulosic’) bioethanol. The efficiency of this process depends in….

Ping Xu, Dongliang Hua, Cuiqing Ma. Propenylbenzenes are common aromatic compounds that are often used as starting compounds for the production of various flavours. Recently, microbial transformation has emerged as an important appr….

Muhammad Sarwar Khan. Photosynthetic carbon metabolism is rate limiting in C3 plants because of a competing process: photorespiration. Photorespiration lowers the energy efficiency of photosynthesis by metab….

Gábor Vajta. The topic of this review is an alternative technique for somatic cell nuclear transfer. Removal of the zona pellucida facilitates manipulations of mammalian oocytes and early embryos, and problems….

Gabriel Y.H. Lee, Chwee T. Lim. Nanobiomechanics has recently been identified as an emerging field that can potentially make significant contributions in the study of human diseases. Research into biomechanics at the cellular an….

Holger Daims, Michael W. Taylor, Michael Wagner. Biological wastewater treatment is among the most important biotechnological applications and, as drivers of the key processes, microorganisms are central to its success. Therefore, the study of w….

Leonard K. Pattenden, Anton P.J. Middelberg, Marcus Niebert, Daniel I. Lipin. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are of interest in vaccination, gene therapy and drug delivery, but their potential has yet to be fully realized. This is because existing laboratory processes, when … Continue reading →
