El invento se caracteriza porque muestra cómo se puede producir hidrógeno mediante la descomposición de las moléculas del agua cuando se insertan nanogotas de agua "energética" en una membrana. Esto se logra llevando el agua hasta la fase de vapor y luego forzando el vapor de agua hasta llegar a nanogotas, las cuales pueden ser aceleradas continuamente mediante un campo eléctrico para ser insertadas en la capa superficial de una membrana que permite el paso selectivo de átomos de hidrógeno. 4, record 2, Spanish, - nanogota

To investigate the tooth development in the none-tooth bearing area, the tooth germs were transplanted into the toothless gap, diastema of the developing mandible. Also to study the effect of growth factors on the tooth development, BMP [bone morphogenetic protein] was added during culture period. After periods of in vitro and in vivo culture, the transplanted tooth germ in the toothless gap area showed bioengineered tooth with supportive structure formation. In BMP treated group, the bioengineered tooth was observed with increased maturation of cusp and enamel matrix, which suggest possibility of controlling of bio-engineering of the tooth in morphogenesis even in toothless area. 3, record 3, English, - bioengineered%20tooth

Un equipo de científicos [...] compartieron investigaciones en la bioingeniería de los implantes de los dientes humanos.

Colocaron dichas células en glicol polietileno, un andamio biodegradable, y dejaron que las células se adhirieran al andamio [soporte]. Algunas de las células penetraron el andamio y crecieron.

Cultured cells are infused in a biodegradable or non-biodegradable scaffold, which may be implanted directly in the patient, or may be placed in a bioreactor (in-vitro) to allow the cells to proliferate before the tissue is implanted in the patient. Alternatively, the cell-seeded scaffold may be directly implanted, in which case the patient's body acts as an in-vivo bioreactor. Once implanted, in-vivo cellular proliferation and, in the case of absorbable scaffolds, concomitant bio-absorption of the scaffold, proceeds. 3, record 4, English, - scaffold
