The companies are also producing a single level cell 64 Gb (8 GB) NAND flash memory.
In a process called LED photomodulation, the light stimulates the production of cell-producing proteins under the skin's surface.
The current standard method for producing proteins is mammalian cell culture, which does not allow for control of the sugar structures.
Natural gas powers the four-fuel-cell system, each cell capable of producing 200 kilowatts of electricity.
Current techniques aren't exactly cheap, but researchers from Stanford University think they've made a bit of a breakthrough by producing a relatively inexpensive photovoltaic cell using nothing but carbon.
ENGADGET: Stanford researchers create 'world's first' all-carbon solar cell, do it on the cheap
Only if all five are found at the right levels does the circuit activate, producing a protein that causes the cell to destroy itself.
Fibrogen's other approach, a joint effort with Japan's Sankyo , is to screen thousands of small-moleculeproteins on their shelves and those of other firms to see whether one or two will block CTGF from binding with receptors or knock out one of the collagen-producing signals that CTGF sends into a cell nucleus.
She has shown in mouse experiments that eliminating the amyloid-producing genes called presenilin produces dementia and brain cell loss.
FORBES: Eli Lilly Alzheimer's Disease Failure Bolsters Amyloid Theory Skeptics
Another restraint on producing large quantities of algae is that its cell walls are difficult to break, making extraction of the oil inside an energy intensive process.
Serum shifted from making measles vaccines in small flasks to producing them in larger, more cost-efficient quantities in cell factories.
Moreover, Novartis is already testing its drug in other diseases including islet cell carcinoma, a cancer of the insulin-producing cells.
During the last decade, the Finnish cell-phone giant reached the peak of its success, producing at one point more than 40% of all the handsets sold around the globe.
The Zevco fuel cell uses an efficient, silver-based catalyst to promote the electricity-producing reaction, instead of a traditional platinum one.
Instead, the cells previously thought to be short lived carried on dividing, but instead of producing two flourishing cells after each division, one of the cells stops growing, leaving one remaining cell to carry on the process.
So on the handset side, they've been working overtime, producing, for instance, the world's smallest, lightest and most compact third-generation video cell phone.
