Investigating the metabolic load of monoclonal antibody production conveyed to an inducible CHO cell line using a Transfer-Rate Online Monitoring system.

Shake flasks are a foundational tool in early process development by allowing high throughput exploration of the design space. However, lack of online data at this scale can hamper rapid decision making. Oxygen transfer rate (OTR) monitoring has been readily applied as an online process characterization tool at the benchtop bioreactor scale.

Lauryl-NrTP6 lipopeptide self-assembled nanorods for nuclear-targeted delivery of doxorubicin.

Targeted delivery offers solutions for more efficient therapies with fewer side effects. Here, lipopeptides (LPs) prepared by conjugation of the nuclear-targeting peptide analogue H-YKQSHKKGGKKGSG-NH (NrTP6) and two lauric acid chains are used to encapsulate the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DX) through a solvent-exchange protocol. LPs spontaneously form nanosized rod-like assemblies in phosphate buffer.

Human Milk-Derived Fortifier to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Malnutrition in Uncomplicated Gastroschisis: A Case Report.

Gastroschisis is one of the most common congenital gastrointestinal disorders, occurring in about one in 1,953 infants born each year in the United States. Infants with gastroschisis rely on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) preoperatively, and due to intestinal function and dysmotility issues, continue to face feeding challenges postclosure, including feeding intolerance and increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Postclosure, human milk-feeding is preferred over infant formula because of its associated reduced risk of feeding intolerance and NEC.

Supramolecular dextran/polyamine phosphate nanocapsules with smart responsiveness for encapsulation of therapeutics.

The polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) polymer is here functionalized with branched and biocompatible polysaccharide dextran (DEX) molecules. Covalent conjugation of DEX to PAH has been achieved through a straightforward reductive amination approach, allowing for a controlled number of DEX chains per PAH polymer (PAH:DEX, n = 0.1, 0.
