Background In type 1 diabetes (T1D), autoimmune responses and inflammation cause the death of pancreatic β cells, leading to the body’s inability to produce insulin and maintain glucose homeostasis. This process is at least in part mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interferon (IFN)α...
Biomineralization is the process by which organisms use biomolecules to produce hierarchically structured organic-inorganic composites. Using biology as inspiration, a protein construct (FD31) was previously designed to accelerate formation of nano-calcite with an unconventional {110} face. To...
Kate Hickcox joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2020 and focuses on advancing research in energy, buildings, industry, manufacturing, and communities, blending creative and practical approaches to uncover effective design solutions and strategies. Hickcox has worked in buildings...
Current methods for product or material input-output inventory data often require significant time and effort from manufacturers to compile. Additionally, without a uniform methodology these can result in inconsistent datasets that are difficult for practitioners to evaluate and compare, even within...
This study investigates how circadian clock regulation impacts carbon partitioning between storage, growth, and product synthesis in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 in providing insights for potential strategies for enhanced bioproduction. In our analysis we explore circadian regulatory rewiring of...
