Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) based genome engineering is a genome-editing platform centered on the use of rAAV vectors that enables insertion, deletion or substitiution of DNA sequence...
In enzymology, a carboxylesterase or carboxylic-ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction of the form a carboxylic ester + H2O \rightleftharpoons an alcohol + ...
Internal fixation is an operation in orthopedics that involves the surgical implementation of implants for the purpose of repairing a bone, a concept that dates to the mid-19th century and was made...
Viral vectors are tools commonly used by molecular biologists to deliver genetic material into cells. This process can be performed inside a living organism (in vivo) or in cell culture (in vitro)....
Cancer Listeni/ˈkænsər/, also known as a malignant tumor or malignant neoplasm, is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the bo...
Carbon nanotube field emitter
Brain ischemia (aka cerebral ischemia, cerebrovascular ischemia) is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand.[1] This leads to poor oxygen supply ...

Reactive extrusion is a type of extrusion process in which individual components are first bonded by a chemical reaction. Twin screw extruders are particularly suitable for the reactive extrusio...
Protein purification is a series of processes intended to isolate one or a few proteins from a complex mixture, usually cells, tissues or whole organisms. Protein purification is vital for the char...
Etoposide, etoposide phosphate or VP-16 (current brand name: Etopophos, according to FDA Orange Book) is a cytotoxic anticancer drug which belongs to the topoisomerase inhibitor drug class.
A Vitamin K-dependent protein (VKDP) is a protein that can bind calcium ions but only after being carboxylated. This carboxylation, said to activate the protein, is facilitated by some form of Vita...
Gene delivery to bone marrow
A progenitor cell is a biological cell that, like a stem cell, has a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell, but is already more specific than a stem cell and is pushed to different...
