Described and claimed herein are combinatorial synthetic Fab libraries displayed on a phage pIX protein. The libraries were built on scaffolds representing the most frequently used genes in human antibodies, which were diversified to mirror the variability of natural antibodies. After selection using a diverse panel of proteins, numerous specific and high-affinity Fabs were isolated. By a process called in-line maturation the affinity of some antibodies was improved up to one hundred-fold yielding low pM binders suitable for in vivo use. This work thus demonstrates the feasibility of displaying complex Fab libraries as pIX-fusion proteins for antibody discovery and lays the foundations for studies on the structure-function relationship of antibodies.

Disclosed herein are flexible plasma applicators based on fibrous layers that are capable of rapidly sanitizing a surface via either direct or indirect contact with said surface.
In 2012, palaeontologists Zhong-Qiang Chen at the China University of Geosciences and Mike Benton at the University of Bristol, UK, hypothesized2 that ecosystem recovery happened in steps, with a pyramid-shaped food web building up one level at a time from self-sufficient organisms to apex predat
Developing new drugs is a very expensive and risky business, said Qiang Chen, a professor at Arizona State University currently researching the use of plant-farmed antibodies against the West Nile virus.

Tobacco-grown antibodies promising in the fight against Ebola
Growing antibodies in plants is safer than in mammals, because plants are so far removed, so if they had some sort of plant virus we wouldnt get sick because viruses are host-specific, said Qiang Chen, a plant biologist at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

Earth took 10 million years to recover from biggest extinction
With less than 10 percent of plants and animals surviving and a huge number of biological niches left unfilled, a quick bounce back could seem likely, but according to Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol,

Earth took 10 million years to recover from mass extinction
"It is hard to imagine how so much of life could have been killed, but there is no doubt from some of the fantastic rock sections in China and elsewhere round the world that this was the biggest crisis ever faced by life." says Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan.

Earth Took 10 Million Years To Recover From Its Greatest Mass Extinction
New evidence is suggesting a recovery that took 10 million years. This new research was done by Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol. It has just been published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Earth took 10 million years to recover from mass extinction, says study
The review, by Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol, found the delay to recover from the extinction was due to two factors.
