Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) represent an important platform for the development of biotherapeutic products. While most mAbs are produced in mammalian cells, there are several examples of mAbs made in Escherichia coli, including therapeutic fragments. When
At the request of the National Institutes of Healths (NIHs) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) and in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017 the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted the

We have developed a pumpless cell culture platform that can recirculate small amounts of cell culture medium (400 µL) in a unidirectional or bidirectional flow pattern. The device produces an average wall shear stress of up to 0.587 Pa ± 0.006 Pa without

Biosensing based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) relies on concentrating light to a nanometeric spot and leads to a highly enhanced electromagnetic field near a metal nanostructure. Here, we present a design of plasmonic nanostructures based
Recently, fluorescence imaging using shortwave-wavelength infrared light (SWIR, 1,000-2,000 nm) has been proposed as having advantage over conventional near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging due to the reduced tissue scattering, negligible

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is used as a medical and systems toxicity model organism for environmental and developmental assays that include high-throughput methods and genetic studies. However, little is known about background levels of

A large fraction of ions observed in electrospray liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–ESI-MS) experiments of biological samples remain unidentified. One of the main reasons for this is that spectral libraries of pure compounds fail to account for
The DNA sequencing technologies in use today produce either highly accurate short reads or less-accurate long reads. We report the optimization of circular consensus sequencing (CCS) to improve the accuracy of single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing

This perspective article is inspired by a workshop entitled "Cell and Tissue Manufacturing Innovation" that was held at the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative medicine Society (TERMIS). Five main concepts are discussed: 1) the US National Academies' Forum

We present a method for FDR estimation of mass spectral library search identifications made by a recently developed method for peptide identification, the hybrid search, based on an extension of the target-decoy approach. In addition to estimating

In living systems, it is frequently stated that form follows function by virtue of evolutionary pressures on organism development, but in the study of how functions emerge at the cellular level, function often follows form. We study this chicken versus egg

In the last decade, filamentous M13 bacteriophage has emerged into numerous biotechnological applications as a promising nontoxic and self-assembling biomaterial with specific binding properties. This raises a question about its upscale production that
