Biolex, Inc.: Pharmaceutical Production in Plants

Pharmaceutical Plants (plants Used in Pharmaceutical Preparations)

The production of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins in plants.

Imagine a world in which any protein, either naturally occurring or designed by man, could be produced safely, inexpensively and in almost unlimited quantities using only simple nutrients, water and sunlight. This could one day become reality as we learn to harness the power of plants for the production of recombinant proteins on an agricultural scale. Molecular farming in plants has already pr...

Plants as factories for the Production of Pharmaceutical recombinant proteins

Nowadays, transgenic plants are used as an attractive alternative to produce recombinant pharmaceutical proteins. Recombinant proteins such as vaccines and antibodies can be produced in plants via two systemes: stable genetic transformation and transient expression. Stable transformation is included of integrating a gene into the plant nuclear or chloroplast genome. The transient expression can...

Incremental production of preverbal messages with INC

INC (the incremental conceptualiser) is a cognitively motivated model of the first stage of language production, conceptualisation. Starting with basic conceptual representations of an observed moving object in a very reduced setting, provided by a perceptual pre-processing unit, INC produces preverbal messages that have the same structure as verbalisations of humans performing this task. Archi...

Plants: The Future Pharmaceutical Factory

The main objective of this study was to identify prospects, advantages and challenges of plant molecular farming. Plant-made pharmaceuticals (PMPs) and plant made vaccines (PMVs) were intended to be used for human consumption. A broad range of plants, including crops, vegetables and fruits have been investigated for their applicability in production of pharmaceuticals over the last two decades....
