Development Of An Inverse Liquid Chromatographic Technique To Measure Adsorption Of Amino Acid Sorbates Onto Chitosan, Yamama Hafeez
Development Of An Inverse Liquid Chromatographic Technique To Measure Adsorption Of Amino Acid Sorbates Onto Chitosan, Yamama Hafeez
Biological and Agricultural Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Drug delivery is described as the localized sustained delivery of a pharmaceutical agent to the systemic blood circulation and hence to the site of action to produce a desired pharmacological effect [1]. There are three principle ways of drug delivery, first being the injection of the drug loaded on microspheres in this method of drug delivery, microspheres are formed using a combination of ink-jet technology and single emulsion-solvent evaporation techniques. Microspheres of a certain size are produced such as to administer the desired route of administration and the rate of the drug release [1]. Another form of drug delivery commonly …
Enhancing The Differentiation Efficiency Of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Into Insulin-Secreting β-Cells, Katherine Rutledge
Enhancing The Differentiation Efficiency Of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Into Insulin-Secreting β-Cells, Katherine Rutledge
Biological and Agricultural Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Recent studies have shown that human embryonic stem cells possess the ability to differentiate into almost any cell type in the bod and they can self-renew in culture conditions (Baetge, D'Amour et al. 26). As the number of Americans with Type 1 Diabetes continues to increase, innovative methods of treating this chronic illness must be developed in order to improve the quality of life for the affected individuals. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have shown the potential to differentiate successfully into insulin-secreting β-cells, and these cultured β-cells can be used for cell-treatment therapies to replace the deficient β-cells in diabetes …

Modification Of Pathways With Pseudomonas For The Extraction And Subsequent Conversion Of Algae To Butanol, Danielle Frechette
Biological and Agricultural Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
As the demand for alternative fuels steadily increases, algae continue to be an excellent source for the development of biofuels. While algae have exhibited substantial potential for butanol production, there are limitations when it comes to the extraction process-its inability to withdraw oils and sugars usable for fermentation from cell walls. The genes of two bacteria were combined, creating a new organism that can both extract sugars and oils from algal cell walls and create butanol, simplifying the fermentation process while increasing efficiency. Pseudomonas flourescens, an obligate aerobe, has been shown in literature to degrade these cell walls to make …
