Provided is a method for the high expression of a recombinant human serum albumin, characterized in comprising the step of co-expressing: (a) a human serum albumin gene, and (b) one or more rHSA expression promoting factor genes in a yeast host cell.

The invention relates to a mineral wool product comprising mineral fibers bonded by a cured binder wherein the binder in its uncured state comprises at least one protein and at least one enzyme.

This disclosure relates to compositions and methods for treating lung disorders, including, for example, pulmonary fibrosis, and other fibrotic disorders. Thioredoxin domain-containing 5 (TXNDC5) is significantly increased in fibrotic lungs from human PF patients. Therefore, a targeted nanoparticle comprising an inhibitor of TXNDC5 was developed, which may have potential to treat pulmonary fibrosis.

The invention relates to an aqueous binder composition for mineral fibers comprising at least one hydrocolloid.

This disclosure provides an E. coli strain, which lacks thioredoxin reductase activity encoded by trxB and thioredoxin 1 activity encoded by trxA, and glutathione reductase activity encoded by gor. Said E. coli strain expresses a mutated AhpC protein having glutathione reductase activity and a cytosolic prokaryotic disulfide isomerase. The E. coli strain has an oxidative cytosol and can be used to efficiently produce proteins having disulfide bonds.

This disclosure provides expression systems comprising secretion signals that promote production and/or secretion of proteins of interest, as well as one or more polynucleotides encoding chaperone proteins (e.g., CRT and/or PDIA3) which, as demonstrate herein, enhance production and/or secretion of proteins. Moreover, genetically modified host cells comprising these expression systems are capable of producing high levels of protein of interest, such as bovine lactoferrin (bLF), bovine lactoglobulin (bLG), or ovalbumin (Ova).
