Impact of impaired aerobic capacity on liver transplant candidates.

25 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Oxygen consumption at peak exercise (peak VO2) is the most accurate index of aerobic capacity (AC), which reflects the physical condition of an individual and is currently considered the gold standard for cardiorespiratory fitness. ... Read more...


A novel screening protocol for the isolation of hydrogen producing Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strains.

15 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Sealed Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cultures evolve significant amounts of hydrogen gas under conditions of sulfur depletion. However, the eukaryotic green alga goes through drastic metabolic changes during this nutritional stress ... Read more...


A cellular isolation system for real-time single-cell oxygen consumption monitoring.

4 Oct 2008 The development of a cellular isolation system (CIS) that enables the monitoring of single-cell oxygen consumption rates in real time is presented. The CIS was developed through a multidisciplinary effort within the Microscale Life Sciences Center ... Read more...
