What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance.Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta duri

Solution viscosity is a key quantity for high concentration formulations of monoclonal antibodies suitable for subcutaneous injection. A dramatic increase of the viscosity with increasing antibody concentration is frequently observed, and charge effects are often believed to play a major role in this phenomenon. Unfortunately, our ability to successfully predict this for different antibodies based

In a recent publication, Professor Mats Ohlin of the Department of Immunotechnology and Dr. Ayelet Peres (Yale University) discuss naming of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes, and underscore the need for a non-positional naming structure. Naming of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes is currently based on their perceived relative location in the genome. This principle is very attractiv
