The Rise of Silkworm Bioreactors: How Invertebrates Are Shaping the Future of Protein Production
Biotechnology is experiencing a subtle yet profound shift. For years, the creation of antibodies and therapeutic proteins has depended on vertebrate-based systems—most notably mice, rabbits and mammalian cell lines such as CHO. These platforms have enabled major medical breakthroughs, but they come with challenges: high running costs, complex infrastructure, lengthy production cycles and significant ethical […]
