Update and comparison of cumulative fiber exposure estimates for workers in a facility expanding Libby vermiculite
<p>Introduction: Low cumulative fiber exposure (CFE) is associated with health effects in a Libby vermiculite exposed cohort. This study refines the original 1980 exposure estimates and compares the CFE results. </p><p>Methods: CFE estimates were developed using three times more industrial hygiene …

Towards The Engineering Of A Synthetic Minimal Cell
Cell-free expression (CFE) systems are one of the main platforms for building a synthetic cell. A major drawback is the orthogonality of cell-free systems across species. To generate a CFE system compatible with recently established minimal cell constructs, we attempted to optimize a Mycoplasma …
