The development of continuous bioprocesses—which require cell retention systems in order to enable longer cultivation durations—is a primary focus in the field of modern process development. The flow environment of ...

The Australian tobacco plant Nicotiana benthamiana is becoming increasingly popular as a platform for protein production and metabolic engineering. In this system, gene expression is achieved transiently by infiltrating ...

Cells are very sensitive to their direct environment - they place high demands, for example, on ambient culture medium, adjacent cell types, and the properties of surrounding material parts. As a result, mechanical and ...

Many properties in both healthy and pathological tissues are highly influenced by the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. Stiffness gradient hydrogels are frequently used for exploring these complex relationships ...

Thanks to recent and continuing technological innovations, modern microfluidic systems are increasingly offering researchers working across all fields of biotechnology exciting new possibilities (especially with respect ...
