Chemokines and their receptors form one of the most intricate signaling networks in immunology. Among them, CCR1 (C-C chemokine receptor type 1) has attracted attention for its dual role as both a guardian of host defense and a potential driver of chronic inflammation and cancer progression. For researchers, CCR1 is more than a seven-transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR)—it ...
Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) is a small, vitamin K-dependent extracellular matrix protein that plays a critical role in the regulation of vascular calcification and bone development. As a natural inhibitor of pathological mineralization, MGP has attracted significant attention in cardiovascular and skeletal biology research. The development of recombinant MGP protein has enabled researchers to study ...
Understanding Fosmids Fosmids are vector systems derived from the F plasmid of Escherichia coli. They typically can carry inserts ranging from 40 to 100 kilobases, which is substantially larger than traditional plasmid vectors. ...
Recombinant protein vaccines are vaccines produced using genetic engineering technology. The principle is to clone one or several antigen genes of a pathogen into host cells, causing them to express the corresponding antigen protein. These proteins are then extracted for use in the vaccine. These vaccines can effectively stimulate the immune system to respond to specific pathogens, thereby ...
Host cell protein (HCP) residual detection refers to the testing of proteins that may remain in the final product and originate from the production cell line (i.e., the "host") during the biopharmaceutical production process. This testing is crucial because these host cell proteins (HCPs) may impact the safety, efficacy, and quality of drug products.In the fields of biotechnology and ...
Introduction The human body is a complex network of genes and proteins, each playing a crucial role in maintaining our health. One such gene, DNM1L, has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its vital functions and its association with various diseases. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of DNM1L, exploring its function, the diseases it is linked to, and the ...
They can be expressed in large quantities in yeast, Escherichia coli and other microorganisms using genetic engineering. The yield was 100mg/L in the shaking culture, and the yield was more than 1g/L by 10L fed-batch fermentation.Applications of NanobodiesNanobodies for Disease DiagnosisThe use of radiolabeled antibodies can provide precise tracing at the ...
Patients who need medical treatment often fear being exposed to harmful germs and unsanitary instruments. Just the thought of a healthcare provider using an unsterilized surgical device or needle is enough to make people feel queasy. As a result, patients find it reassuring to watch a clinician remove healthcare devices from sterile packaging before starting a procedure. Sterile packaging ...
Goal Discover mutations in ribF* gene of E.coli strain 1 and compare it with 3 other strains Challenges Lack of user-friendly visualization tools or availability of stand-alone tools Too many files to mine to discover a mutation; Labor-intensive Process No immediate availability of bioinformaticians due to a lot of backlog work supporting various projects Solution Loci makes complex ...
Proteins are the workhorses of life, performing a vast array of essential functions, from catalyzing biochemical reactions to building and maintaining cellular structures. Protein engineering, a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and computer science, aims to harness the power of these molecular machines by designing and manipulating their structure and function to ...
It can kill or inhibit various chronic wound-susceptible microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.. Polymer drug conjugates, polymer protein conjugates, polymer micelles, etc., as drug carriers, have been used in tissue repair and wound care. ...
Effective hand hygiene reduces the risk of meat contamination and the transmission of foodborne disease Clean hands are essential to health and effective handwashing is one of the simplest ways to prevent the spread of germs. Hand hygiene is particularly important in minimizing food safety risks along food animal chains, as there are many diseases that can be transmitted to humans from polluted ...
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a 15kDa secretory protein with a 4-alpha-helical bundle structure. As a T-cell related growth factor, IL-2 can enhance the killing activity of NK cells and promote B cells to produce immunoglobulins. In addition, it aids in the development of regulatory T cells (Tregs), thereby producing peripheral T cell immune tolerance, as well as regulating the proliferation and ...
Microorganisms can be found everywhere, in the coldest or hottest environment, in the air, in water, in soil, in plants, and even inside the human body. These organisms have a big contribution to the ecosystem and to the biosphere as a whole. They have existed even before the earth was habitable for other organisms such as plants and animals. In fact, studies have shown that all organisms have ...

In August 2022, Nature Catalysis reported on an electronic channel strategy based on the application of Photorhabdus luminescens CipB scaffolding protein, which implements efficient electron transfer by bringing P450 and reductase close together. Recombinant E. coli strains were successfully developed to synthesize lutein, (+)-nootkatone, apigenin, and L-3, ...
Let’s explore this question through three bacteria: Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori and Bartonella henselae. Escherichia coli Escherichia coli are responsible for a variety of different infections, and are the most common cause of urinary tract infection. ...
When the population of acidophilus in the small intestine gets too low, we may be at a higher risk of infection. Escherichia coli: While coli may be in the news most often for causing sickness from foods, like Romaine lettuce, most are helpful bacteria that live in your gut. Coli means “from the colon,” which is ...
Bacteriocins are composed of Gram-positive bacteria (Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, and Propionibacterium) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella, Serratia bacteria, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas). ...
Factors Affecting Restriction Endonuclease Activity (1) DNA purity: Impurities in DNA such as protein, phenol, chloroform, ethanol, SDS, EDTA, etc. will affect the activity of the enzyme, which is generally improved by purifying DNA, increasing the amount of enzyme, prolonging the incubation time and expanding the reaction system. (2) Degree of DNA methylation: ...
