Therapeutic antibodies vary depending on production system

Differences in production methods for therapeutic antibodies can lead to variations in their structure, depending on the recombinant procedure selected. The distinctions, which are based on a number of glycosylations, even ...

Researchers learn from nature

A research team of scientists from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory of Grenoble and the Institut de Génétique et de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire (IGBMC) in Strasbourg have now, for the first time, succeeded ...

Developing alginate hydrogels that can support cell growth

Encapsulating cells—both prokaryotic and eukaryotic—allows researchers to carry out experiments in hydrated environments over prolonged periods of time. However, cell growth under these conditions can exert a lot of pressure ...

Growing cells on synthetic PIC gel could save millions of mice

The synthetic PIC gel, discovered in 2013 by Radboud University chemists, appears to behave like collagen. This makes the gel very useful for studying interactions between cells and their immediate environment. In practice, ...

New method to label proteins could help track disease

A new method to study the proteins released by cells, which could lead to the development of new tools to track diseases including cancer, has been developed by scientists at the Francis Crick Institute and Imperial College ...
