In 2023, DDW hosted a webinar, ‘A comprehensive guide to using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in gene therapy’, supported by Azenta Life Sciences. AAV is optimal for gene therapy due to its efficiency and safety in humans; however, AAV processes can present obstacles for researchers. Why are those important?

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.

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. While it has come along way since its inception, there are a number of factors to consider when it comes to plant-based meat safety, including: Contaminants.

But decades of research led to improvements in cancer therapy, centred around the idea that one’s immune system could aid in treatment. Their continued promise has led to an exponential increase in research on their utility, function, risks, and potential benefits. Developing the first CAR T cell therapy.

One big challenge is contamination. It can cost millions of dollars to remove contamination from a manufacturing process and this causes a consequent delay to the preparation of the drug. As with contamination, variation in outcomes and product quality are often a result of the raw materials used.
