Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

A paper published in Cell highlights how researchers have leveraged AI-based computational protein design to create a novel synthetic ligand that activates the Notch signaling pathway, a key driver in ...

Biological cells process data and perform computations all the time. They take inputs in the form of external stimuli and produce specific responses. Recently, scientists have been looking at ways to ...

Plant cell-based bioproduction systems are known for producing proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications that have been used in a handful of approved therapeutics. Widespread ...

Inroads are being made in some of these areas. A number of cell-based protein companies have trialled products in taste tests with consumers or potential foodservice partners. Just two countries – ...
