- Biocatalysis unlocks sustainable pseudouridine production for mRNA vaccines
mRNA vaccines gained widespread notoriety for their revolutionary power in combating the Corona pandemic. But behind the scenes, a silent hero called pseudouridine plays a crucial role in maximisin... - Back to the roots - Archaea save the world
Living fossils allow us a glimpse into a time long past, for they have changed little or not at all over millions of years. The platypus or the horseshoe crabs are well-known representatives from t... - Repairing spinal cord injuries with nanotechnology
Europe-wide project named "Piezo4Spine" sets the high goal of developing a novel therapy against spinal cord injuries (SCI). Based on the latest findings in materials science, regenerative medicine... - Microalgae polymers instead of synthetic ones - a greener future for skin care
Petrochemical synthetic-based polymers are still everywhere in our daily lives, despite strict regulations and general awareness of their long-term risks to the environment and human health. This i... - Biotechnological yeast instead of crude oil - the way to renewable plastics
Viennese researchers from the Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (acib) and BOKU Vienna found a way to use the harmful greenhouse gas CO2 as a raw material for the production of industrial...
- A glycosylation technology for industrial production processes
Sustainability and use of renewable resources represent an important part of any production process with regard to circular economy and for the sake of our planet. With all the biomass available, u... - Molecules in collective ecstasy
When fluorescent dye molecules nestle perfectly together, something completely new is created: an excited state distributed over many molecules. Such collective excitations can be used in a variety...
- Plastic recycling with enzymes - ENZYCLE!
Plastic waste management has become a challenge for our planet. Mankind produces 27.1 million tons per year of plastic waste and only 31.1% can be recycled! More than 65% are landfilled or incinera... - How do magnetic nanoparticles heat?
Some magnetic materials are able to absorb electro-magnetic waves and transform them into heat. But how do they do it? And is there a single mechanism or an optimum frequency for this process? ... - Contactless magnetic heating to control enzymes activity
Contactless magnetic heating may sound scary, but it is part of your daily life experience. Every time you heat-up your morning coffee mocha with an induction cooker, you are using magnetic fields ...
- New pathway to produce one of the worlds rarest organic substances
It is grey, waxy, smelly and very expensive: Ambra, the worlds rarest organic substance, could only be found in the digestive tract of sperm whales. The compound is highly sought after by the perfu...
- "Enzyme Google" enables search for new enzyme functions
A new search engine, including database with more than 100.000 proteins opens up totally new possibilities in the search for new enzyme functions. This "Catalophor system" is patented. Enzymes a... - PTR-MS system monitors GMP biotech processes
IONICON is a partner in the Austrian Center for Industrial Biotechnology (ACIB) for the development of novel tools for real-time process monitoring of biotechnological fermentations. After the succ...
