How quaint that notion seems now, when a flag is about equal parts corporate branding tool and national emblem; when designers are busily dismantling not just patriotism but the visible symbols of a patriarchy that grows more anachronistic by the moment, thanks to social transformations engineered through the alchemy of the Web.
Transformation of engineered Escherichia coli into a robust microbial factory is contingent on precise control of metabolism.
Although aggregation and transformation play crucial roles in the transport and toxicity of AgNPs, how the water chemistry of environmental waters influences the aggregation and transformation of engineered AgNPs is still not well understood.
This iron-enhanced formation of AgNPs in photo-irradiated Ag+-DOM solution have great environmental implications on the formation of natural AgNPs and the transformation of engineered AgNPs in acidic surface water with high iron content.
While the two PLGA layers were expected to serve as biological layers of intima, media and adventitia of the blood vessel after their transformation into engineered tissues, the ePTFE in the middle of the hybrid scaffold did as a mechanically supporting layer.
These data illustrate the importance that transformation of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) through interactions with aquatic solutes may have in altering the environmental behavior of nanomaterials.
To directly test whether FBXO28 activity is required for MYC-induced transformation, we engineered P53−/− immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) (which are known to be efficiently transformed by MYC (Ecker et al, 2009), with retroviruses encoding MYC and ΔF-FBXO28, or the individual genes, and performed transformation assays.
The transformations that engineered nanoparticles can undergo under environmental conditions and the occurrence of natural particles of similar composition bring additional challenges.
To improve resistance to UV damage, we used Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to engineer B. bassiana with an exogenous tyrosinase gene.
Can this transformation be smoothly engineered and, if so, how long will it take?
