Bioentrepreneurship in Medical Biotechnology

Being a developing sector, biotechnology combines both medical science and various facets of a sustainable environment. Scientific innovations from academics and industry contribute towards the rise of bioentrepreneurship across the world. ...

Medical Biotechnology

Both the diagnosis and treatment of human disease have undergone radical changes since the seminal discoveries of molecular biology, magnetic resonance imaging, mass spectrometry, and vaccine development, to name but a few. Glick and collea...

Medical biotechnology

This chapter explains the role of biotechnology in medicine and explores the process of making antibodies and hybridoma technology. It shows how vaccines are manufactured and discusses the significance of stem cell therapy and the related i...

Medical Biotechnology

Biotechnology has many applications in medicine. While dealing with diseases, biotechnology tools and techniques have been used in the prevention, diagnosis, and cure of diseases. Through human genetics, biotechnology has found use in genet...

Medical Biotechnology - Approaches to become an Entrepreneur in Medical Biotechnology

Medical biotechnology is one of its branches which involves the application of medicine and biotechnology resources. Entrepreneurship is said to be the development of a new business making profits where innovation and creditability are cons...

Medical Biotechnology

Medical biotechnology incorporates many of the topics that have already been discussed in this book. Right from developing new drugs to prospects of stem cell use and cloning, the possibilities are enormous....

Engineering protein translocation pathway to improve recombinant proteins in Pichia pastoris

Pichia pastoris is one of the most commonly used hosts for producing heterologous proteins, whereas production levels vary depending on the protein of interest and are also regulated by regulatory factors. We conducted RNA-seq by expressing...

Effect of Short-term Treated Wastewater Application on Physiological Traits and Stress-related Genes (CaCAT2, CaDREB32, CaLOX1) in Pepper

This study investigated the effects of treated wastewater irrigation on physiological traits and gene expression in pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants during early development. Control (tap water) and treated wastewater treatments were compare...

Preclinical ex-vivo Testing of Anti-inflammatory Drugs in a Bovine Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Model

Discogenic low back pain (LBP) is a main cause of disability and inflammation is presumed to be a major driver of symptomatic intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Anti-inflammatory agents are currently under investigation as they demonst...

An Essential Role of Hrs/Vps27 in Endosomal Cholesterol Trafficking

The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) plays a crucial role in the degradation of ubiquitinated endosomal membrane proteins. Here, we report that Hrs, a key protein of the ESCRT-0 complex, is required for the transport...

Genetic Manipulation of Plants: A More-than-Human Ethical Challenge

The central argument of this article is that the genetic manipulation of plants raises profound ethical questions that cannot be adequately addressed within a purely anthropocentric framework. Drawing on Hans Jonas’s philosophy of responsib...

A call for congressional action: revisiting the U.S. coordinated framework for the regulation of biotechnology

Since the 1986 release of the Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology almost 40 years ago, there have been two whole of government updates that made only minor changes, while new regulations and guidance from individual ag...

Preliminary screening of biostimulative effects of Göemar BM-86 on eggplant cultivars grown under field conditions in Poland

Seaweed extracts are widely used in agriculture as ecological focus substances applied to improve crop growth and quality. One of the primary benefits they bring is increased effectiveness of fruit setting as well as improved stress toleran...

Functionalising Collagen-Based Scaffolds With Platelet-Rich Plasma for Enhanced Skin Wound Healing Potential

Porous collagen-glycosaminoglycan (collagen-GAG) scaffolds have shown promising clinical results for wound healing; however, these scaffolds do not replace the dermal and epidermal layer simultaneously and rely on local endogenous signaling...

Physicochemical- and biocompatibility of oxygen and nitrogen plasma treatment using a PLA scaffold

Plasma surface treatment has a wide range of applications in biomedicine. In the present study, flat polylactic acid (PLA) films were treated with oxygen and nitrogen, low-pressure, non-thermal plasma. The water contact angle of the PLA fil...

State of the Art and Environmental Aspects of Plant Microbial Fuel Cells’ Application

Environmental pollution is becoming ubiquitous; it has a negative impact on ecosystem diversity and worsens the quality of human life. This review discusses the possibility of applying the plant microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) technology for c...
