Mayo Clinic Uses New Approach To Reverse Multiple Sclerosis In Mice Models

Mayo Clinic researchers have successfully used smaller, folded DNA molecules to stimulate regeneration and repair of nerve coatings in mice that mimic multiple sclerosis (MS). They say the finding, published today in the journal PLoS ONE, suggests new possible therapies for MS patients.

DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING WHITE PAPERS & CASE STUDIES

  • Biomanufacturing Flexibility

    This white paper from BIO-G looks at how to create flexible, agile manufacturing facilities to respond to the current glut of biomanufacturing capacity and industry consolidation. Future proofing these facilities for higher titers and multiple product lines is also explored.

  • Efficiency Test Of ReadyToProcess™ Columns

    ReadyToProcess™ columns are prepacked, prequalified, and presanitized process chromatography columns suited for purification of biopharmaceuticals (e.g., proteins, vaccines, plasmids, and viruses) for clinical phase I and II studies. ReadyToProcess columns are available with several media at different volumes (1, 2.5, 10, and 20 L).

  • Compound Profiling And Toxicity

    Utilizing a systems approach to drug discovery has generated a multitude of high affinity compounds for various classes of molecular targets with different degrees of disease state validation.

  • Effect Of Sterilization On Mechanical Properties Of Silicone Rubbers

    Silicone rubber is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry where sterilizability is an essential requirement for all fluid transfer equipment. Pharmaceutical products must be sterilized frequently and repeatedly by high level energy and/or chemical vapor in order to eliminate bacterial surface contamination.

  • Selecting The Optimal Resins For The Process Purification Of Native And Recombinant Proteins

    Native and recombinant proteins are used in a variety of applications ranging from drug discovery to target validation to high-throughput screening. Due to this, large-scale protein production and purification have become major necessities in industrial settings.

  • Accelerating Biopharmaceutical Development From DNA To Drug

    In the last decade, single-use solutions for virtually every bioprocess unit have been developed, and considerable investments have been made by the industry into areas that underpin this technology.
