Fibrin hydrogel, an oft-used two-dimensional scaffold for in vitro cell culture, was recently functionalized to grow human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in three dimensions. This advance makes it easier…
A new study published in Nucleic Acids Research unveils crucial advances in the engineering of CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs)—a class of natural, RNA-guided DNA integration systems. According to Seong Guk Park,…
Biopharmaceutical production requires a lot of energy and materials and creates a significant amount of plastic waste. Finding ways to make it more sustainable is vital from both an environmental…
Swiss researchers have developed a new method to enhance Raman calibration datasets used to create predictive models. The researchers, based at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) near…
Researchers recently developed a harmonized, validated way to use imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) to evaluate the charge heterogeneity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The new method is based on guidelines…
