Accelerating Oligonucleotide Demand: A Force Driving The Contract Manufacturing Market

Since the approval of the first antisense therapy in 1998, oligonucleotides have been in light for their capabilities as therapeutic agents. Oligonucleotides are short synthetic nucleotide chains with immense potential in the diagnosis and treatment of a myriad of disease indications. In addition to therapeutics, these complex molecules act as a significant resource in various

Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases- Driving the Demand for Self-Administration Devices, Like Autoinjectors

Over the last decade, autoinjectors have emerged as a promising therapeutic commodity for safe administration of parenteral therapies. Patients who suffer from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, often require frequent dosing of medication which poses significant inconvenience to them for visiting proper healthcare centers. Hence, autoinjector devices enable such patients
