Cell Engineering
Ten papers from the European Workshop on Animal Cell Engineering Costa Brava, Spain (no date noted) kick off a series designed to facilitate the integration of developments in molecular biology into bioprocesses . Scientists and engineers doing basic research and from the biopharmaceutical industry discuss gene expression, protein synthesis and modification, cell proliferation, immortalization, and apoptosis. Their titles include understanding the translation regulatory mechanisms to improve the efficiency and the specificity of protein production by the cell factory, using the endoprotease furin in the high-yield expression of recombinant proteins requiring proteolytic maturation, inhibiting apoptosis in mammalian cell culture, factors involved in the cell cycle arrest of adult rat cardiomycytes, and the immortalization of hepatocytes through the targeted deregulation of the cell cycle.
