Blood routine testing in sepsis and AHF ahead

Pilot routine tests with the vasoactive biomarker bio-ADM confirm clinical test results. Medical leaders back actionable utility of the marker in medical decision-making in septic shock and congestive heart failure.

Bioengineers to standardise biomanufacturing

Biomanufacturing – either for production of biologics or bio-based everyday products – has traditionally suffered from the unpredictably variable response of production cell lines to external stimuli. Synthetic biology groups now wish to create a network of biofoundries that aim to establish reproducibility standards from process design to product purification and – in the long term – intend to switch from cell-based to cell-free bioproduction.
