The Latest Technological Advances in Antibody Discovery1. Single B Cell Isolation and SequencingThe isolation and sequencing of single B cells can help us gain a deeper understanding of the diversity and specificity of B cells. Through this method, we can clarify the relationship between the sequence and the cell, thus discovering antibodies with special properties. These antibodies may have high ...
Natural ingredients are substances of plant, animal, or mineral origin, used in their natural form or with minimal processing. Classification of Natural ingredients Alkaloids are a group of naturally occurring compounds that often have pharmacological effects. Examples include caffeine, nicotine, morphine, and quinine. Anthocyanins are pigments responsible for the red, purple, and blue colors in ...
Source of Marine Polysaccharides Marine polysaccharides are primarily sourced from a diverse range of marine organisms that thrive in oceans and seas. Seaweeds are the primary and most abundant source of marine polysaccharides. Seaweeds with high polysaccharide content, such as red algae (Rhodophyta), brown algae (Phaeophyceae), and green algae (Chlorophyta), have been extensively studied for ...

What is Chimeric RNA? Chimeric RNA, also known as fusion RNA, refers to RNA molecules that are formed as a result of the fusion of two or more different RNA transcripts. Chimeric RNA, a unique class of RNA molecules formed through various molecular mechanisms, such as trans-splicing, read-through transcription, and fusion genes. These hybrid transcripts play a significant role in diverse ...
Fc fusion protein (Fc-Fusion) has a complex and diverse molecular structure, and may contain glycosylation modification sites at amino acid 297 of its Fc fragment and the Fab region of some molecules. Moreover, its biological ligands are structurally diverse, and their glycosylation modifications may also be complex, usually involving multiple N-glycan and O-glycan sites and a large number of ...
Pan-genomes have potential applications in crop improvement, evolution and biodiversity research. To fully exploit the value of pan-genomes, a broader range of information such as phenotypic, environmental and expression data needs to be integrated to provide insight into the role of variable regions in the genome. ...
Ionic channels, which are proteins present in the membranes of all living cells, are gaining significant importance in the fields of bio-medicine and biotechnology. They are responsible for the transmission of signals across cell membranes and are instrumental in multiple biological processes. This raises the demand for a systematic mechanism that can control their expression. The customized ...
They are used to store human biological samples to aid research into genetics, biomarkers for diseases and personalized medicine. Biodiversity Conservation: Non-human samples such as other animals, plants and bacteria can also be cryopreserved. The aim of this is for future research and to try and preserve biodiversity as thousands of species face extinction. ...
Microorganisms and their environment constitute a complex ecosystem, which is an important part of the biodiversity on earth. The microbiome refers to the collection of all microorganisms and their genetic information in a specific environment or ecosystem, and its connotation includes the interaction of microorganisms with their environment and host. ...
As vaccine rollouts take place in many countries around the world, it feels like the globe will soon be able to take a collective sigh of relief that this pandemic could nearly be over. However, the reality may not be so simple. Leading scientists including the chair of the WHO’s strategic and technical advisory group for infectious hazards expect that SARS-CoV-2 will become endemic, ...

Pharmaceuticals are present in low concentrations (<100 ng/L) in most municipal wastewater effluents but may be elevated locally because of factors such as input from pharmaceutical formulation facilities. Using existing concentration data, the authors assessed pharmaceuticals in laboratory exposures of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) and added environmental complexity through effluent ...
But, there is still hope for new species emerging from unexplored places, rich in biodiversity. In 2011, an expedition led by the California Academy of Sciences identified 300 new species, including many spiders, on Luzon Island in the Philippines in just 42 days. ...
Northern blot analysis established that bsh1, bsh2, bsh3, and bsh4 are all expressed in L. plantarum WCFS1 during the exponential growth phase. Following biodiversity analysis, bsh1 appeared to be the only bsh homologue that was variable among L. plantarum strains; furthermore, the presence of bsh1 correlated with the presence of Bsh activity, suggesting that Bsh1 is commonly ...
This paper discusses a key aspect of a sustainable pharmaceutical use of biodiversity: the increased demand of the pharmaceutical industry for biogenetic resources does not result in an increase of the market value of biodiversity. The increasing interest in biogenetic resources by the pharmaceutical industry since the late 1980s has led, among other things, to ...
