Conserved pathways of limb development in vertebrate embryos

Thesis - 5 pages - Biology

Mice and chick embryos serve as ideal test subjects in the analysis of developmental characteristics. Through in-vivo manipulation, signaling frameworks have been constructed to explain and describe the development of limbs (Tickle, 2004). The basis of all development relies on several...

Bioreactor: Optimizing E.Coli fermentation for Bacteria directed enzyme prodrug therapy

Thesis - 10 pages - Biology

E.coli strain WM04 was determined as a viable option for Bacteria Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy. Determination of suitability for animal testing depends on sufficient quantities of bacteria being produced through fermentation. Optimal operating conditions are found for the production of WM04 by...
