mRNA pioneers Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman receive Nobel prize

Drug Discovery World

Karikó and Weissman noticed that dendritic cells recognise in vitro transcribed mRNA as a foreign substance, which leads to their activation and the release of inflammatory signalling molecules. The effect was due to the reduced activation of an enzyme that regulates protein production. Image credit: Ill.

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. These expression systems utilize bio machinery harvested from the lysate of disrupted cells for the manufacturing of a wide array of macromolecular and small molecule products.

Is Cell-Based Fish the Next Big Food Innovation?

XTalks

We’ve heard of cell-based meat — meat produced by in vitro cell cultures of animal cells — but its seafood equivalent could be on the horizon. Cell-based fish has been making a splash in recent years, with several alt-seafood companies making the semi-finals of a recent alternative protein competition. That’s a hard s(h)ell.
