Forever young: a new demographic?

Pharmaceutical Technology

These primarily include oxidative stress caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, telomere shortening, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/histone methylation patterns. Telomeres are the buffer regions of DNA that cap the ends of chromosomes and prevent chromosomal attrition during DNA replication.

CABBI team develops automated platform for plasmid production

Scienmag

These small, circular DNA molecules are used by scientists to introduce new genes into a target organism. Well known for their applications in the production of therapeutic proteins like insulin, plasmids are broadly used in the large-scale production of many bioproducts. Plasmids have extensive use in basic and applied biology.

What Are Biopharmaceuticals?

Pharma Packaging Solutions

Semi-Synthesized: Though the term “biologic” is accurate for the extracted materials listed above, it is more often used to describe therapeutics that are produced with recombinant DNA technology. As biopharma technology progresses, becoming both more prevalent and available, the need for high-quality biopharma packaging increases.

From Gene to Protein: The Journey of Protein Expression Technology

Roots Analysis

Protein expression is a potent technology in the field of synthetic biology, that is utilized for the high-throughput production of proteins as well as enzymes and oligonucleotides (DNA / RNA). This process initially involves transcription of DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA is then translated into to form functional proteins.

Biologics – The Next Step in Revolutionary Medication

Roots Analysis

Usually, the desired gene, such as human insulin gene, when inserted into the plasmid of the host cell uses transcriptional and translational machinery of the host to express itself. It is worth mentioning that in vitro gene expression requires a suitable host for the production of a specific gene product.
