Pod-Based, On-Demand Media and Buffer Manufacturing System
Nucleus Biologics launched the Krakatoa® K500, which the company says is the first bioreactor-scale, pod-based media and buffer manufacturing system designed to deliver sterile solutions on demand and at point-of-use. The system enables the...
Novel antibody 007 targets the elusive HIV envelope epitope
HIV-1 can be neutralized by antibodies which bind to vulnerable structures on the virus surface. One such vulnerable site is the so-called V3 glycan site of the viral envelope protein. This target structure plays...
Shared brainwave biomarker bridges mouse and human fragile X research
Numerous potential treatments for neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, have worked well in lab mice but then disappointed in humans. What would help is a non-invasive, objective readout of treatment efficacy that is...
Study uncovers how bacterial circadian clocks control gene expression
Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with jet...
AI model accelerates antibody production and clone selection
As instigators of immunity, monoclonal antibodies are marvels of modern medicine, lab-made proteins that can treat cancers, autoimmune diseases, and many other conditions. With the market for these therapies forecast to double by 2030,...
Newly identified protein interaction fine-tunes cellular stress responses
Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between two proteins that helps keep a critical cellular recycling system in balance.
The findings show that a...
