Advances in Membrane Distillation for Water Desalination and Purification Applications

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present in the influent water. This review considers the fundamental heat and mass transfer processes in membrane distillation, recent advances in membrane technology, module configurations, and the applications and economics...

Advances in Targeted Drug Delivery

Lentivirus vector purification using anion exchange HPLC leads to improved gene transfer.

Recombinant lentiviral vectors stably transduce both dividing and nondividing cells. Virus pseudotyping with vesicular stomatitis virus envelope G (VSV-G) protein broadens the host range of lentiviral vector and enables vector concentration by ultra-centrifugation. However, as a result of virus vector concentration, contaminating protein debris derived from vector-producing cell culture media i...
