Application of recombinant insect products in modern research: An overview

Abstract

Biotechnology enables the genetic engineering through gene modification, broadening the range of natural products, as far production and application of transgenic products, such as implant coatings, scaffolds for tissue engineering, wound dressing devices, as well as drug delivery systems. In the present scenario, recombinant technology including the expression of DNA and gene modification or simple genetic manipulation to several host organisms, involving bacteria, yeast, plants, insect cells, mammalian cells, and transgenic animals seems to have tremendous and promising future research opportunities. In this chapter, an attempt is made onto modern research initiatives using recombinantly produced insect products and applications.
