A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has uncovered new clues to why some therapeutic proteins are so difficult to manufacture. The work—led by Nathan Lewis, PhD, ...

Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between ...

Cells operate on rules not vibes, including when on the precipice of persisting or perishing. Yet, with prior research ...

Membrane proteins are ubiquitous cellular components that are responsible for a wide array of cellular and molecular activities, including drug metabolism, lipid shuttling, and antibiotic resistance.

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

In a new study publishing November 19 in the Cell Press journal Trends in Biotechnology, researchers used a gene-editing technology called CRISPR to increase a fungus's production efficiency and cut ...

University of Warwick research demonstrates how to engineer ‘cell factories’ that last longer and produce more chemicals, without needing antibiotics or complex engineering methods, paving the way for ...

A new study has identified specific cellular machinery that helps brain cells dispose of toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. By screening thousands of genes in lab-grown human neurons, ...

With biomanufacturing often a limiting factor for drug developers, Canada’s Future Fields is heralding its bug-based approach to protein production as a potential salve. Now, after several years spent ...
