Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are therapies that target cancer cells with antigen-specific antibodies and highly toxic payloads. ADCs are currently generating interest among drug developers, contract manufacturing companies, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders. The rise in the number of drug approvals has also sparked interest in further ...

RNA therapeutics and vaccines have been around for a long time, but the COVID-19 pandemic enabled their mass-market commercialization. Industry players saw mRNA vaccines developed for COVID-19 as effective for reducing the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in populations. Moderna emerged as the first player to develop and commercialize an mRNA vaccine...

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) includes advanced fertility treatments and procedures, such as the manipulation of eggs, sperm, or embryos to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. This study primarily examines the market for in vitro fertilization (IVF), a common ART procedure. It highlights innovations around the pre-implantation ...

Structural heart diseases (SHD) encompass cardiac conditions that cause abnormal blood flow inside the heart's chambers, which can be wrong blood flow direction or blood stagnation. Structural abnormalities in the heart lead to impaired functioning rather than the heart's blood vessels. The cardiovascular implants industry has developed prosthetic ...

Human wounds, especially chronic nonhealing wounds, have emerged as a significant clinical challenge for healthcare providers due to traditional wound care products’ inability to treat biofilm-associated infections in wounds, prolonging the wound healing process and difficulty in reducing trauma during wound management. In addition, the rising nu...

Bionic devices are mechatronic or electronic platforms that can perform the physical and biological functions of body parts or organs that are lost or damaged because of chronic conditions or accidents. Patients that suffer complete vision loss because of retinal diseases; upper and lower limb amputations caused by accidents or chronic diseases; an...

The concept of companion diagnostics (CDx) was developed when researchers realized that even potent drugs only had an efficacy between 25% and 60%, the lowest being in oncology. Therefore, a clinical pharmacogenetic assay became important to distinguish patients more likely to respond to a drug or at a lesser risk of associated adverse pathophysiol...

The organ donation and transplant community is facing a constant scarcity of adequate donor organs to meet the unceasingly increasing demand. All innovations in the solid organ transplant industry focus on increasing the availability of donor organs and improving post-transplant outcomes post-transplant. Pre- and post-transplant diagnostics are us...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technology that creates clear images of organs and structures inside the body. However, the claustrophobic narrow bore size design that causes patient anxiety during the scan and the stationary nature of the large machine hinder the optimal use of this technology, and low-quality ...
