Improving protein secretion with autophagy‐inhibiting or proteasome‐activating small molecules

Therapeutic proteins are produced frequently by mammalian cells in large‐scale bioreactors. As a result, producer cells are exposed to a chemically (nutrients, gas exchange, target protein overexpression) and physically (shear due to mixing) stressful environment, which can lead to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) st...
