New Nanoparticles Shrink Tumors In Mice

MIT researchers have developed RNA-delivering nanoparticles that allow for rapid screening of new drug targets in mice. In their first mouse study, done with researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute, they showed that nanoparticles that target a protein known as ID4 can shrink ovarian tumors.

  • 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.

  • Top 10 Considerations When Selecting An Isolator Supplier

    While price is certainly an important reason for buying any piece of capital equipment, it is not always the top reason. There are important considerations to examine when selecting an isolator supplier.

  • CD69 Expression On Activated Lymphocytes Is Stable In Streck's Cyto-Chex® BCT

    The purpose of this study was to determine if the activation marker, CD69, is preserved and stable in whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex® BCT. Previous studies have demonstrated CD marker stability of whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex BCT for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature (18-22°C).  By Jodi Alt, Ph.D

  • Connection Technology Advances Closed System Processing

    The global demand for new biologics and vaccines, combined with the growing emergence of biosimiliars, is challenging drugmakers to re-evaluate their processes and seek ways to make them more flexible, reliable, and cost-effective. By John Boehm, Colder Products Company

  • Continuous Biomanufacturing: 10 Reasons Sponsors Hesitate

    The industry is abuzz with talk about continuous biomanufacturing (CB), and its virtues have been well described. Here we will look at some of the barriers or concerns perceived to limit its value to the industry. Justified or not, quite a few concerns have been expressed regarding the implementation of this new, rather disruptive technology. 

  • Improving DNA Removal from Bioprocess Purification Processes

    Many new biological drug products produced using recombinant DNA technology, such as monoclonal antibodies, are produced in cell culture. Because therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies are produced in cell culture, impurities can result from the host cells, or cell substrates. By 3M Purification Inc.
