Abstract: A method for characterizing stem cell differentiation includes harvesting differentiation media supernatant containing secreted analytes from key time points during a stem cell differentiation, performing at least one of a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of the differentiation media supernatant with respect to at least one secreted analyte, and identifying trends in analyte expression based on at least one of the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the differentiation media supernatant.

Abstract: Provided herein is a general method of correcting a gene, for example a gene with many known mutations, such as a gene with mutations in many different exons which could vary from subject to subject (e.g., patient), as well as a set of tools (TALENs and gene targeting vectors) to accomplish such method.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed herein for improving efficient catalyst utilization in processes including thermal catalysis using dry nanoparticle promoters, rather than salts of metal promoters in liquid form. Using selected process steps, the nanoparticles are more controllably dispersed on primary support particles, for effective use on secondary supports when it desired to bring reactants into contact with the secondary support. Applications that generally make use of these catalysts can be but are not limited to: emission abatement catalysts, generation of syngas, generation of liquid fuels from syngas, safety systems (hydrogen recombination catalysts in nuclear power plants) and many industrial processes.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing nitrous oxides in diesel exhaust with hydrogen and carbon monoxide over a palladium based catalyst. The catalyst comprises a compound represented by the formula: X % Pd—Y % V2O5/Z, where X is between about 0.1 to about 2.0, Y is between about 0.1 to about 7.0, and Z is an oxide support.
