Considerations of the Impacts of Cell-Specific Growth and Production Rate on Clone Selection-A Simulation Study

For the manufacturing of complex biopharmaceuticals using bioreactors with cultivated mammalian cells, high product concentration is an important objective. The phenotype of the cells in a reactor plays an important role. Are clonal cell populations showin ...

Microfluidics and cell-free synthetic biology in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic platforms

Grégoire Michielin

In phenylketonuria, absence or malfunction of the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme results in toxic accumulation of phenylalanine in the body. An injectable recombinant enzyme therapy was recently approved and has the potential to improve the quality of li ...

A Strategy to Conjugate Bioactive Fragments to Cytotoxic Diiron Bis(cyclopentadienyl) Complexes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mouna Hadiji, Silvia Schoch, Sarah Alexandra Pais Pereira

A series of bioactive molecules were synthesized from the condensation of aspirin or chlorambucil with terminal alkynes bearing alcohol or amine substituents. Insertion of the resulting alkynes into the iron-carbyne bond of readily accessible diiron bis(cy ...

Genetically encoded betaxanthin-based small-molecular fluorescent reporter for mammalian cells

Leo Scheller, Karl Gademann, Simon Sieber

We designed and engineered a dye production cassette encoding a heterologous pathway, including human tyrosine hydroxylase and Amanita muscaria 4,5-DOPA dioxygenase, for the biosynthesis of the betaxanthin family of plant and fungal pigments in mammalian c ...

Transient vitamin B5 starving improves mammalian cell homeostasis and protein production

Nicolas Mermod

Maintaining a metabolic steady state is essential for an organism's fitness and survival when confronted with environmental stress, and metabolic imbalance can be reversed by exposing the organism to fasting. Here, we attempted to apply this physiological ...

Analyzing glycans cleaved from a biotherapeutic protein using ultrahigh-resolution ion mobility spectrometry together with cryogenic ion spectroscopy

Thomas Rizzo, Priyanka Bansal, Ali H Abikhodr, Vasyl Yatsyna, Natalia Yalovenko

Glycans covalently attached to protein biotherapeutics have a significant impact on their biological activity, clearance, and safety. As a result, glycosylation is categorized as a critical quality attribute that needs an adequate analytical approach to gu ...

Dual-Activatable Cell Tracker for Controlled and Prolonged Single-Cell Labeling

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Salome Riccarda Püntener

Cell trackers are fluorescent chemical tools that facilitate imaging and tracking cells within live organisms. Despite their versatility, these dyes lack specificity, tend to leak outside of the cell, and stain neighboring cells. Here, we report a dual-act ...

Optical microsystems for genetically engineered biosensors. Case study: Glucose monitoring

Bakul Jitendra Vinchhi

Diabetes is a global epidemic with millions of people dying from it every year. Progress in microelectronics and machine learning has led to a huge number of FDA approvals of devices for continuous monitoring and treatment of diabetes with one product usin ...

Quantitative analysis of gene expression and transcriptional memory in mouse embryonic stem cells

Aleksandra Mandic

Quantitative studies of gene expression in have shown widespread variability in transcript and protein product abundance at the single-cell level. Such fluctuations in gene expression have been shown to lead to heterogeneous cellular responses and phenotyp ...

Single live cell monitoring of protein turnover reveals intercellular variability and cell cycle dependence of degradation rates

Andrea Brigitta Alber

Cells need to be able to precisely control their proteome composition in order to maintain homeostasis. This is of particular relevance in fast dividing cells, such as embryonic stem cells, since their global protein levels need to be doubled at each divis ...
