Worse, methods and acceptable "contamination" levels have yet to be standardised in Europe.Attitudes may change when the next wave of genetically modified foods, which have been engineered for consumer-friendly traits such as higher vitamin content, emerge from the laboratory.
Previously, Corynebacterium glutamicum has been engineered for synthesizing polyphenol core structures such as the stilbene resveratrol and the (2S -flavanone naringenin.
Oncolytic viruses have been engineered for years to deliver immune-modulating molecules such as CSF2 (GM-CSF) to the TME (Bommareddy et al., 2017), so it makes sense that they could be engineered to deliver TME modulating antibodies (Du et al., 2014).
In particular, M13 bacteriophage can be engineered for new functions, such as carboxy-terminal phage display.
An integrated array of micron-dimension capacitors, originally developed for biometric applications (fingerprint identification), was engineered for detection of biological agents such as proteins and bacteria.
A major benefit of recombinant proteins is that they serve as a platform for the development of more advanced products that are engineered for an improved therapeutic profile, such as enhanced safety, lower immunogenicity, increased half-life and improved bioavailability.
Mouse models are engineered for biomedical studies, bacteria are engineered to produce medications such as insulin, and crops are engineered for agriculture.
