Protein‐polymer conjugates represent a dynamic class of hybrid materials that combine the inherent biological function and specificity of proteins with the versatile properties of synthetic polymers.

Biohybrid Solutions is pioneering a new approach to bioconjugate production using polymer-based protein engineering. This innovation allows more control, expands the available polymer library, and ...

Side by side comparison of heart muscle cells with and without treatment. Damage to the cells is shown in blue. On the left, tissue has been injected with saline and the damaged area is considerably ...

Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone and muscle and ...

Grove Biopharma has raised a $30 million series A round to develop Bionic Biologics, also known as protein-like polymers (PLP), which were invented by Nathan Gianneschi at Northwestern University. A ...

Recent studies have identified that the global aggregation of macro-plastic waste is one of the most pressing environmental concerns, having an impact on all living forms, ecological processes, and ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and at the University of California San Diego have developed a potent injectable therapy that the results of rodent studies showed can protect the heart from ...

Synthetic biologists have become increasingly creative in engineering yeast or bacteria to churn out useful chemicals - from fuels to fabrics and drugs - beyond the normal repertoire of microbes. But ...

Designing plastics that can be broken down easily after their use phase have often required a trade-off between stability and ...

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to ...
