Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein. In the last few years, researchers have become interested in

The domain of novel cell cytometers has attracted much attention of within the global biopharmaceutical industry in recent years. This popularity can be attributed mainly to the need of these tools to address the rising prevalence of chronic disease conditions. Cell cytometers allow for the simultaneous characterization of cells from a mixed population, thereby helping

Clinical trials are a fundamental requirement for evaluating the safety and efficacy of novel therapeutic interventions. Initiating a clinical trial is a complex and time-consuming process, involving suitable planning and execution. In addition, there are several other challenges, including inefficiencies related to data handling, and difficulties associated with patient enrollment and retainment, which further complicates

How is AI being used in Digital Pathology? Digital pathology is a transformative technology that has enabled pathologists to make the shift from visual inspection of tissue samples to automated image analysis. With the advent of AI, pathologists are now benefiting from computerized image analysis software that can draw conclusions and deliver diagnoses in a

Kidney disorders are one of the most common causes of mortality, accounting for 850 million deaths, per year, across the globe. Over 300 congenital, inherited and acquired disorders fall under the umbrella of rare kidney disorders. It is worth mentioning that these set of disorders are known to have a serious effect on the general

Traditionally, text and images were printed on pharmaceutical products to convey important information. In recent years, the use of smart labels allows the developer to convey a greater amount of information about the product to the consumers, without the need for additional packaging space. It is worth noting that smart labels contain a transponder code

In  recent years, therapies utilizing extracellular vesicles have garnered significant attention among the industry stakeholders for the treatment of diverse target indication, primarily owing to the various benefits offered by them, including target specificity, enhanced tissue regeneration, and reduced inflammation and chronic pain. Over time, various research studies have demonstrated the potential of exosomes (membrane

The application of digital twins in healthcare has the potential to revolutionize patient care, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce costs. Digital twins, or virtual replicas of physical objects and environments, are being used in many different industries, and healthcare is no exception. In healthcare, these can be used to provide better patient monitoring, improve remote

Digital health is a broad term that refers to the utilization of communication and information technologies to manage, track, and improve the overall healthcare delivery system. Owing to the potential of digital technology to optimize patient healthcare and the development of pharmaceuticals, the digital healthcare industry has witnessed significant rise in investments in the past

Genotoxicity testing refers to the evaluation of detrimental effects of chemical or physical agents on the genetic processes and related hereditary material of living cells. On the other hand, mutagenicity is the process of inducing irreversible and transmissible alterations in the genetic material of organisms either spontaneously or through mutagenic activity. Disruption of the integrity

Given the potential of gene therapies in targeting the underlying cause of a disease at cellular level,  the demand for such therapies has increased considerably over the past few years. Currently, more than 285 gene therapies are being evaluated in different phases of clinical development. Further, various gene therapy developers have raised more than USD 10 billion
