In biopharma, cells are grown in bioreactors in order to generate protein products that are used as therapeutic agents. Biopharma companies mostly use mammalian cells such as CHO cells to develop the complex therapeutic proteins that are structurally similar to those produced by human cells. This means that if a protein is used as a […]

Pluripotent stem cells have tremendous potential in regenerative medicine. Pluripotent stem cells have the capability to develop into all the cells derived from the three germ layers. Earlier only the embryonic stem cells were known to be the pluripotent stem cells. The groundbreaking research work of Takahashi and Yamanaka published in 2006 paved the way […]
