Glycosylation in Microalgal Host Cells

University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering

Microalgae have generated increasing interest as microbial cell factories to produce therapeutics proteins. This is because they can grow on very cheap media and their GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status means they are a fantastic option for the production of therapeutics that can be administered orally.

Finding the cause of familial facial (Bell’s) palsy

University of Sheffield School of Medicine and Population Health

The facial (VII) cranial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression, supplies taste sensation to parts of the tongue and controls a small muscle connected to the ear drum. Bell’s palsy is the clinical condition in which there is impaired function of the facial nerve, associated with facial muscle weakness. Read more
