The ultrafiltration method with application of Vladipor membranes YAM-300 has been used to obtain 8.9 times purified preparation of beta-D-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) from the Escherichia coli lysate. The preparation activity is 43,400 u/g, specific activity--167.57 u/mg of protein. The preparation includes 25.9% of protein and does not possess the collateral proteolytic activity. The results of the ultraconcentrate isofocusing in the borate-polyol system within the pH range of 4.5-9.5 and electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel testify to the presence of five basic protein fractions, one of which includes 57 +/- 2% of protein with the beta-galactosidase activity. This fraction is homogeneous, its isoelectric point corresponds to pH 7.8.

The methylotrophic yeast belongs to the group of homothallic fungi that are able to spontaneously change their mating type by inversion of chromosomal DNA in the MAT locus region. As a result, natural and genetically engineered cultures of these yeasts typically contain a mixture of sexually dimorphic cells that are prone to self-diploidisation and spore formation accompanied by genetic rearrangements. These characteristics pose a significant challenge to the development of genetically stable producers for industrial use.

Creating new formulations of immobilized enzymes has been a major focus of modern biotechnology. In this study, the industrially significant β-galactosidase was immobilized by being trapped in a polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethyl cellulose (PVA-CMC) gel. The immobilized enzyme was optimized and characterized, and the results were compared with those obtained using free enzymes.

Background: Resistance to existing therapies is a major cause of treatment failure in patients with refractory and relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (r/r B-NHL). Therapy-induced senescence (TIS) is one of the most important mechanisms of drug resistance.
Methods: This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze doxorubicin-induced senescent B-NHL cells.

Cell immortalization has an important role in scientific research, as well as increasing significance in the context of cell therapy and biotechnology. Over the years, many immortalized cell lines have been produced using human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) alone or in a combination with viral oncogenes. Different hTERT-immortalized cells are commercially available, and numerous papers about obtaining immortalized cell lines have also been published.
