Scientists have developed a new biological tool for examining molecules — the building blocks of life — which they say could provide new insights and other benefits such as reducing the numbers of animals used in experiments. The University of Leeds in collaboration with Avacta Life Sciences has developed tools that can replicate the work of animal-derived antibodies traditionally used to help study biological molecules and processes.
