Transforming Biomanufacturing: Potential of Cell Free Systems

Roots Analysis

Overview of Cell Free Systems Cell-free systems are ­in-vitro platforms which allow occurrence of biochemical reactions in the absence of living cells. Additionally, these types of cell free systems do not contain proteases and nucleases as crude cell lysates, which further helps in improving the production of many proteins.

Parkinson’s and Melanoma Share an Amyloid Link, Says New Research

XTalks

While it has been known for about five decades now that patients with Parkinson’s disease have a higher likelihood of developing melanoma than the general population, the exact reasons for this were unknown. The scientists found that the amyloid-forming protein is expressed at higher levels in melanoma cells than in normal healthy skin.

Are organ-chips the future of preclinical research?

Drug Discovery World

With cues from a diverse population of tissue-specific cell types, extracellular matrix proteins, and biomechanical forces, cells grown in organ-chips closely emulate their in vivo counterparts and replicate tissue-level functions. But can organ-chips entirely replace other models? Not yet, according to Ewart.
