Cellulases to break down cellulose = Edinburgh 2008.

BacToKidney capsule = Taipei 2008

Note while Taipei propose delivering bacteria to the intestine they do not describe how they will get it past the stomach! They do however demonstrate the concept of metabolic subcontraction which we have extended to the liver (PAH).

Drug Delivery = Leuven 2008 - Dr Coli (also included a cell death module).

BactoBlood:

1) Use of restriction enzymes for induced cell death

2) Use of trehalose for freeze drying
