Forever young: a new demographic?

Pharmaceutical Technology

The biology of ageing Ageing is an intensely complex syndrome influenced by environmental, genetic, and epigenetic factors. These primarily include oxidative stress caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, telomere shortening, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/histone methylation patterns. Can we extend human life?

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.
