Why Plant-Based Meat Safety Differs From That of Animal Protein

XTalks

But several researchers and experts have brought to light some food safety concerns of plant-based meat, and why it must be treated differently than that of animal protein. Because of their near-neutral pH and high protein and moisture content, plant-based meats are susceptible to microbial growth. Subject to Microbial Growth.

Scientists engineer safe, virus-resistant E coli for research

Drug Discovery World

In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, US researchers have modified E coli bacteria to be immune to infection by all natural viruses tested so far. The team used two safeguard methods to prevent the bacteria and their modified genes from escaping into the wild.

Improving quality control for CAR T cell therapies

Drug Discovery World

The immune system typically identifies foreign entities such as bacteria and viruses and activates lymphocytes such as T cells to destroy them with overwhelming force. To overcome this evasion tactic, the CAR protein was developed to recognise other markers on cancer cells. Identifying the right CAR T cell target.

Cell culture Q&A: Solving biomanufacturing challenges with Recombinant Insulin supplementation

Pharmaceutical Technology

In addition to revolutionising diabetes care, insulin has become an essential component of biopharmaceutical manufacturing, where its growth-supplementing ­­­properties are relied on to enhance commercially available cell culture media and achieve higher yields of target therapeutic proteins. One big challenge is contamination.
