Closer Look At Cell Membrane Shows Cholesterol 'Keeping Order'
Cell membranes form the “skin” of most every cell in your body, but the ability to view them up close and in motion cannot be rendered by many experimental techniques. A team of scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of California, Irvine, recently developed a way to magnify them dramatically.

![Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography Media]( "Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography Media")
Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography MediaMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) remain a predominant class of therapeutic protein products on the market because of their wide range of applications in disease treatment and diagnosis. Over the years, upstream technology advancements have helped improve the titer of target antibodies, from merely 1 g/L two decades ago to 10–13 g/L in fed-batch processes and up to 25 g/L in perfusion cultures today (Gronemeyer et al. 2014).
