Why Plants Are the Future of Biologics: The Science Behind Recombinant Protein Drugs
Reading Time: 5 minutesBiologics—the creation of recombinant protein drugs—have been revolutionary in treating complex diseases. They provide targeted therapies for conditions including cancer and autoimmune disorders. Over the past 50 years, scientists have produced these complex proteins in mammalian cells, bacterial cultures, yeast, and plants.
Throughout the 2010s and into the 2020s,
