Development of a label-free, non-faradaic impedimetric biosensor for the monitoring of caspase-9 in mammalian cell culture (2024)
Thesis

Lower yields and poorer quality of biopharmaceutical products result from cell death in bioreactors. Such cell death is commonly associated with programmed cell death or apoptosis. During apoptosis, caspases are activated and cause a cascade of event...
