Almost two decades since biosimilars arrived, we still await their broader adoption, as anticipated. The roadblocks to this adoption include the high amortized cost of goods due to regulatory burden, hurdles created by the distribution system, perception of safety and efficacy, and lack of focus by stakeholders on removing these roadblocks. In this paper, I analyze the source of these roadblocks and offer practical solutions to remove them. These efforts are needed to maximize the adoption of biosimilars to encourage the entry of 100+ biological molecules that can bring affordable healthcare direly missing today across the globe.

The production of complex multimeric secretory immunoglobulins (SIgA) in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves is challenging, with significant reductions in complete protein assembly and consequently yield, being the most important difficulties. Expanding the physical dimensions of the ER to mimic professional antibody-secreting cells can help to increase yields and promote protein folding and assembly. Here, we expanded the ER in N.

This advocates for investigating methods to accelerate motor axon growth. Electrical nerve stimulation and exercise both enhance motor axon regeneration in rodents and patients, but these interventions cannot always be easily implemented.

Article Synopsis
- DNA replication and transcription happen at the same time on the same DNA, which can create conflicts between the replisome and RNA polymerase, potentially causing genome instability.
- Research shows that collisions between RNA polymerase and the replication fork are more harmful when they come from opposite directions (head-on) compared to when they run in the same direction (co-directional), but the exact reasons behind this aren't fully understood.
- The study found that RNA polymerase binds more stably in head-on conflicts, especially with longer RNA transcripts, which enhances its ability to block replication; an RNA-DNA hybrid forms during this process, creating additional complications for the replication fork but could also help initiate replication on the lagging strand.
Energetic requirements and mechanistic plasticity in Msp1-mediated substrate extraction from lipid bilayers.

AAA+ proteins are essential molecular motors involved in numerous cellular processes, yet their mechanism of action in extracting membrane proteins from lipid bilayers remains poorly understood. One roadblock for mechanistic studies is the inability to generate subunit specific mutations within these hexameric proteins. Using the mitochondrial AAA+ protein Msp1 as a model, we created covalently linked dimers with varying combinations of wild type and catalytically inactive E193Q mutations.

The activated M1-like microglia induced neuroinflammation is the critical pathogenic event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Microglial polarization from pro-inflammatory M1 toward anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype is a promising strategy. To efficiently accomplish this, amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates as the culprit of M1 microglia activation should be uprooted.
