AMSBIO has announced new additions to its portfolio of tools for COVID-19 research - two monoclonal antibodies that recognize the Spike RBD (B.1.1.529, Omicron Variant) protein and neutralizes its interaction with ACE2. The human ACE2 receptor is found on the surface of type I and II pneumocytes, endothelial cells, and ciliated bronchial epithelial cells. Research has shown that ACE2 mediates COVID-19 infection through direct binding of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein....
Nigel Whittle, head of medical & healthcare at Plextek looks at how artificial intelligence is shedding new light on novel therapeutics. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing and impacting many different medical sectors and helping to solve problems that have challenged experts for years. Determining the shape of proteins, known as the ‘protein folding problem’, has beaten some of the best minds in biology for the past 50 years...
GenNext Technologies, Inc., a growth-stage company providing instrumentation, software, and services, announced that it has earned a second seminal patent protecting the company’s novel radical dosimetry technology which vastly improves the utility of protein footprinting for the study of biopharmaceutical structure, function, and safety.

AMSBIO has announced a new range of kits, media and reagents to assist in the development of cultured meat products - an exciting new area of food technology. Cultured meat, also known as synthetic, artificial or in-vitro meat, is created by harvesting animal cells that are then placed in a bioreactor and fed with nutrients to help tissue growth. The driving force behind this rapidly expanding area of food technology is that the production of cultured meat requires far fewer animals to be farmed...
BioChromato Inc. reports how their ionRocket sample preparation device, used in combination with Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART®-MS), enables routine analysis of low solubility, high molecular weight compounds. Phthalocyanine based pigments are widely used for organic semiconductors and organic electroluminescence displays due to their clearness, high light stability, and durability.
