Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated rht-PA Processing in CHO Cells: Influence of Mild Hypothermia and Specific Growth Rates in Batch and Chemostat Cultures
(2015)Background: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the main host for producing recombinant proteins with human therapeutic applications mainly because of their capability to perform proper folding and glycosylation processes. ... -
Entropic and Enthalpic Effects in Thin Film Blends of Homopolymers and Bottlebrush Polymers
(2019)We present a combined experimental and computational study of surface segregation in thin films of nearly athermal blends of linear and bottlebrush polymers. The lengths of bottlebrush backbone (Nb), bottlebrush side chain ... -
Evaluating the Transport Behavior of CO2ﾠFoam in the Presence of Crude Oil under High-Temperature and High-Salinity Conditions for Carbonate Reservoirs
(2019)An amine-based surfactant, Duomeen TTM, was evaluated for foam flooding in carbonate rock at high temperature (120 °C), high salinity (22% total dissolved solids), and CO2–oil miscible conditions. We demonstrate enhanced ... -
Examining Asphaltene Solubility on Deposition in Model Porous Media
(2016)Asphaltenes are known to cause severe flow assurance problems in the near-wellbore region of oil reservoirs. Understanding the mechanism of asphaltene deposition in porous media is of great significance for the development ... -
Experimental realization of crossover in shape and director field of nematic tactoids
(2015)Spindle-shaped nematic droplets (tactoids) form in solutions of rod-like molecules at the onset of the liquid crystalline phase. Their unique shape and internal structure result from the interplay of the elastic deformation ... -
Fabrication and characterization of multiscale electrospun scaffolds for cartilage regeneration
(2013)Recently, scaffolds for tissue regeneration purposes have been observed to utilize nanoscale features in an effort to reap the cellular benefits of scaffold features resembling extracellular matrix (ECM) components. However, ... -
Facile Graphene Oxide Preparation by Microwave-Assisted Acid Method
(2015)Few-layered graphene oxide (GO) was prepared using a fast and energy-saving method by microwave-assisted acid technique. The oxygenated groups existing on the GO surface were determined using UV-Vis, X-ray photoelectron ... -
Facilitation of DNA loop formation by protein–DNA non-specific interactions
(2019)Complex DNA topological structures, including polymer loops, are frequently observed in biological processes when protein molecules simultaneously bind to several distant sites on DNA. However, the molecular mechanisms of ... -
From strings to coils: Rotational dynamics of DNA-linked colloidal chains
(2017)We investigate the dynamical behavior of deformable filaments experimentally using a tunable model system consisting of linked paramagnetic colloidal particles, where the persistence length lp, the contour length lc, and ... -
Gelatin carriers for drug and cell delivery in tissue engineering
(2014)The ability of gelatin to form complexes with different drugs has been investigated for controlled release applications. Gelatin parameters, such as crosslinking density and isoelectric point, have been tuned in order to ... -
Genetic and Chemical Activation of TFEB Mediates Clearance of Aggregated α-Synuclein
(2015)Aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) is associated with the development of a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). The formation of α-syn aggregates results from aberrant accumulation of ... -
High efficiency carbon nanotube thread antennas
(2017)Although previous research has explored the underlying theory of high-frequency behavior of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNT bundles for antennas, there is a gap in the literature for direct experimental measurements of ... -
High pressure measurements and molecular modeling of the water content of acid gas containing mixtures
(2015)Water content of three carbon dioxide containing natural gas mixtures in equilibrium with an aqueous phase was measured using a dynamic saturation method. Measurements were performed up to high temperatures (477.6 K = 400°F) ... -
High-Ampacity Power Cables of Tightly-Packed and Aligned Carbon Nanotubes
(2014)The current-carrying capacity (CCC), or ampacity, of highly-conductive, light, and strong carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers is characterized by measuring their failure current density (FCD) and continuous current rating (CCR) ... -
Highly Flexible Self-Assembled V2O5 Cathodes Enabled by Conducting Diblock Copolymers
(2015)Mechanically robust battery electrodes are desired for applications in wearable devices, flexible displays, and structural energy and power. In this regard, the challenge is to balance mechanical and electrochemical ... -
HSulf-1 deficiency dictates a metabolic reprograming of glycolysis and TCA cycle in ovarian cancer
(2015)Warburg effect has emerged as a potential hallmark of many cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms that led to this metabolic state of aerobic glycolysis, particularly in ovarian cancer (OVCA) have not been completely ... -
Human Omental-Derived Adipose Stem Cells Increase Ovarian Cancer Proliferation, Migration, and Chemoresistance
(2013)Objectives: Adipose tissue contains a population of multipotent adipose stem cells (ASCs) that form tumor stroma and can promote tumor progression. Given the high rate of ovarian cancer metastasis to the omental adipose, ... -
Hybrid graphene metasurfaces for high-speed mid-infrared light modulation and single-pixel imaging
(2018)During the past decades, major advances have been made in both the generation and detection of infrared light; however, its efficient wavefront manipulation and information processing still encounter great challenges. ... -
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions in aqueous mixtures of alcohols at a hydrophobic surface
(2013)Aqueous solutions of alcohols are interesting because of their anomalous behavior that is believed to be due to the molecular structuring of water and alcohol around each other in solution. The interfacial structuring and ... -
The impact of lithologic heterogeneity and focused fluid flow upon gas hydrate distribution in marine sediments
(2014)Gas hydrate and free gas accumulation in heterogeneous marine sediment is simulated using a two-dimensional (2-D) numerical model that accounts for mass transfer over geological timescales. The model extends a previously ...
