The history – and the future – of antibody discovery technologies

DrugBaron

They can exploit their exquisite specificity to carry toxic payloads to specific locations, they can mimic the binding of natural ligands to act as agonists and they can even be engineered into bispecific (or multispecific) formats to hit several targets at once. The fourth milestone in antibody discovery is just beginning to unfold.

Meet the Flower Designer Who Built a Laboratory In His Home

Codon

Backyard astronomers discovered 42 new planets in 2012 , hobbyist paleontologists discovered the world’s largest dinosaur footprint near the Yorkshire coast in 2021, and Sebastian himself open-sourced protocols that make it easier for scientists to engineer plants. And what genes will I need to engineer these flowers?
