    Beyond the Stigma: Strategies for Maximizing Recombinant Protein Production in Tobacco Plants
    Chinese Academy of Sciences

    Plant molecular farming (PMF) is an efficient strategy for producing recombinant protein. Tobacco plants, known for their short life cycle and large biomass production capacity, are excellent choices for PMF. In this review, researchers from institutes across China and Korea reviewed strategies for guiding recombinant proteins into different subcellular compartments of the cell. Findings reported in this review are extremely significant as optimized localization of recombinant proteins is crucial for pharmacological industries.

    How Common Is Pacemaker Use After Heart Valve Surgery?
    Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan

    People having surgery on mitral and tricuspid heart valves may receive a pacemaker more often than necessary — leading to a greater risk for life-threatening complications, studies show. Researchers say high volume hospitals with experienced surgeons may be able to achieve similar outcomes without needing to implant the device.

    Revolutionizing Industrial Scale Lactoferrin Production with Synthetic Biological Systems
    Chinese Academy of Sciences

    Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding glycoprotein and is involved in important physiological processes. It is derived from milk and mucosal secretions. However, the separation and purification of a large amount of biologically active LF is very difficult. Therefore, technologies for synthetically manufacturing LF are urgently needed. In this review, researchers summarized the design and construction of high-expression LF synthetic biological systems. These systems are efficient and can maximize the LF production at large-scale industrial levels.

    Northern Adriatic: Collapse of Predator-Prey Relationships From the 1950s Onwards
    University of Vienna

    Predatory snails drill holes in the shells of their prey. Using these boreholes, a research team led by palaeontologist Martin Zuschin from the University of Vienna was able to create a time series of predator-prey relationships in the northern Adriatic over the past millennia. This showed that human influences led to a collapse in predator-prey relationships from the 1950s onwards.
