Beate Mueller- Tiemann, PhDCTO, Cytiva In recent decades, sensor-less cars that rely on human decision-making have evolved into self-driving taxis that arrive on demand. Beate Mueller-Tiemann, PhD, CTO of the global CDMO Cytiva, points to these autonomous vehicles as an analogy for the digitization of the biomanufacturing industry, which has recently culminated in a new era known as “Bioprocess 5.0.” This latest generation integrates advanced digital technologies, automation, and sustainability principles to streamline the production of biological products, such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and enzymes. “Pharma companies like to use the term ‘smart manufacturing,’ in which operations are driven not only…

As the number and diversity of targeted therapy approvals continue to rapidly increase, timely biomarker testing is now essential for making informed oncology treatment decisions. However, legacy testing approaches often fall short of clinical demands, especially for cases when rapid turnaround times (TAT) [ES1] are essential. This is particularly true for liquid biopsy applications and urgent single-gene screening scenarios, where delayed results can directly impact patient outcomes and treatment planning. Additionally, for many laboratories, the need to reduce TAT is driving a shift toward implementing in-house next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions rather than outsourcing their testing to third-party labs. In this Inside…
Scientists, veterinarians, and zookeepers joined forces to protect elephants from a lethal viral disease. Shown here is Tess, a 40-year-old Asian elephant at the Houston Zoo, who received the first dose of an mRNA vaccine against the virus. Image credit:Jackelin Reyna, Houston ZooIn 2008, a two-year-old elephant in the Houston Zoo named Mac suddenly took ill. The usually playful and mischievous elephant toddler became sluggish, lost his appetite, and his head started swelling. He died within a few hours, leaving the zoo staff heartbroken. Veterinarians soon uncovered the culprit: elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV).1 The virus causes hemorrhagic disease—particularly in young…

These dangerous conspiracies cost lives, and it shows that Reform can’t be trusted with our NHS.”Starmer was referring to a…
The Mediterranean diet is less of a “diet” and more of a sustainable eating pattern focused on whole foods.But if you’re primarily eating prepared meals and snacks or from restaurants, it can dampen the benefits. Cutting back on these foods and eating more legumes, fruits, vegetables and fatty fish can improve health. The Mediterranean Diet isn’t new—it’s thought to have ancient roots, with traditions of eating plant-based foods, olive oil and seafood dating back to Mesopotamia. “The Mediterranean diet is one of the most well-researched and evidence-based eating patterns, and it doesn’t require strict rules, calorie counting or macro tracking,” says…
Chefs agree that tongs are the most versatile, essential kitchen tool. Tongs can flip, stir and serve—making them ideal for multitasking in the kitchen. Grill tongs are best left outdoors; shorter, lighter tongs work better inside. Joseph Yoon has cooked for people all over the world—on every continent except Antarctica—at events that range from just a few dozen diners to thousands. When he steps into a new kitchen, thousands of miles from his home in Brooklyn, NY, he’s ready to prepare his dishes with whatever he finds in the cupboards and drawers, plus a few key items that are tucked…

The study, presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, suggests this pregnancy complication may have neurotoxic effects on brain development. The systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and clinical trials showed that children whose mothers had gestational diabetes had a 36% increased…
