The primary focus is on harnessing this technology for modifying primary T cells, a type of white blood cell crucial for the immune response. This approach has opened new avenues for immunotherapy, providing hope for treating conditions like ...
Compared with collagen extracted from natural sources, recombinant collagen has better safety, purity, and controllability, thus it is widely used in the biomedical and cosmetics industries. The molecular weight of recombinant collagen is an important parameter for understanding its structure and function.Structure of CollagenCollagen is a protein with a triple ...
The ubiquitination site of a protein refers to those specific amino acid residues on the protein molecule that can covalently bind with Ubiquitin. Ubiquitin is a small protein that plays an important regulatory role in cells, particularly in protein degradation and signal transduction. Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification process where ubiquitin molecules are attached to specific ...
Imagine a world where diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's could be diagnosed and treated at the molecular level, long before symptoms even appear. This is the promise of fluorescent biopolymers, a revolutionary new class of materials that could transform the field of biomedical research. What Are Fluorescent Biopolymers? At their core, biopolymers are simply long chains of ...

Polymers play an important role in the biomedical field, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and its derivatives are among the multifunctional polymers that have attracted much attention. PEG is a synthetic macromolecule with a linear structure consisting of glycol units (-CH2CH2O-) repeatedly linked. Its unique properties give PEG a wide range of applications. PEG is soluble in organic solvents and ...
Introduction For years, scientists have leveraged the brilliant potentialities of genetic science to explore how cells function and interact in living organisms. Among the numerous tools employed are "reporter systems," which use a visible marker to track gene expression, protein interactions, and other vital biological processes. One such system employs reporter lentiviral particles, using the ...
Introduction of 3D Printing Materials 3D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, allowing the creation of complex and customized objects with ease. ...
What are Isotopes? Isotopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons called isotopes of each other, which can also be interpreted as different nuclides of the same element called isotopes of each other. An isotope is one of two or more atoms of the same chemical element with the same atomic number, occupying the same position on the ...
Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are a novel approach for degrading target proteins. Recently, a new split-and-mix PROTAC (SM-PROTAC) system based on liposome self-assembly, known as LipoSM-PROTAC, was reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The LipoSM-PROTAC system exhibits selective degradation of target proteins, with folate serving as a key ligand. In this study, the ...
Biopharma PEG, a leading innovator in polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivatives, proudly introduces its featured Azide PEG series, which can be used in drug development, click chemistry, ADCs (Antibody Drug Conjugates), PROTACs (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras), and beyond. This Azide PEG features monodispersed PEGs such as N3-PEG4-OH, N3-PEG3-COOH, N3-PEG11-NH2, N3-PEG3-NHS ester, ...
What are Biotinylation and Biotinylated PEG?Biotinylation is the process of covalently attaching biotin to molecules (such as amino acids, peptides, antibodies, or proteins). Due to the small molecular weight of biotin, biotinylation is usually rapid and specific and is unlikely to interfere with the inherent function of the molecule. Biotin has extremely high affinity, rapidity and high ...
What are Antimicrobial Peptides? Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are naturally occurring peptide molecules found in various organisms, including humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms. These peptides play a crucial role in the innate immune system's defense against microbial infections, exhibiting antimicrobial properties that can inhibit the growth or kill bacteria, fungi, viruses, and even ...
