The host cell system is a critical determinant of recombinant protein quality and yield, with direct influence on protein folding and post-translational modification factors that shape the ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Escherichia coli remains at the forefront of recombinant protein production, owing to its rapid growth, well-characterised genetics and the ease with which it can be genetically manipulated. The ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

Yeast-based protein expression systems will likely play an important role in vaccine production during future pandemics.

The world's first commercial-scale factory for making nutrient-rich and versatile protein from air and sustainable energy has opened its doors in Finland, and the startup behind it aims to have its ...
