Muhammad Sarwar Khan. Photosynthetic carbon metabolism is rate limiting in C3 plants because of a competing process: photorespiration. Photorespiration lowers the energy efficiency of photosynthesis by metab….

Gábor Vajta. The topic of this review is an alternative technique for somatic cell nuclear transfer. Removal of the zona pellucida facilitates manipulations of mammalian oocytes and early embryos, and problems….

Gabriel Y.H. Lee, Chwee T. Lim. Nanobiomechanics has recently been identified as an emerging field that can potentially make significant contributions in the study of human diseases. Research into biomechanics at the cellular an….

Holger Daims, Michael W. Taylor, Michael Wagner. Biological wastewater treatment is among the most important biotechnological applications and, as drivers of the key processes, microorganisms are central to its success. Therefore, the study of w….

Leonard K. Pattenden, Anton P.J. Middelberg, Marcus Niebert, Daniel I. Lipin. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are of interest in vaccination, gene therapy and drug delivery, but their potential has yet to be fully realized. This is because existing laboratory processes, when … Continue reading →

Peter Kufer, Ralf Lutterbüse, Patrick A. Baeuerle. Bispecific antibodies usually do not occur in nature but are constructed by recombinant DNA or cell-fusion technologies. Most are designed to recruit cytotoxic effector cells of the immune system ….

Larry Gilbertson. Targeted insertion and the precise deletion of DNA from transgenic plant chromosomes increase the potential of plant biotechnology for commercial applications and basic research. The Cre–lox

Panagiotis S Kabouridis. The impermeable nature of the cell membrane to peptides, proteins, DNA and oligonucleotides limits the therapeutic potential of these biological agents. However, the recent discovery of short cati….

Martin Guerin, Mark E Huntley, Miguel Olaizola. The carotenoid pigment astaxanthin has important applications in the nutraceutical, cosmetics, food and feed industries. Haematococcus pluvialis is the richest source of natural astaxanthin….

Vladimir Mironov, Thomas Boland, Thomas Trusk, Gabor Forgacs, Roger R. Markwald. Tissue engineering technology promises to solve the organ transplantation crisis. However, assembly of vascularized 3D soft organs remains a big challenge. Organ printing, which we define as compu….
