mRNA-Based Gene Editing Therapeutics
Genome editing has been gaining importance since the last decade as a potential alternative to gene therapy. Nucleases (ZFNs, TALENs, etc.) and the CRISPR–Cas9 system provide powerful tools for site-specific modification of genomes. However, these approaches have the risk of nonspecific editing as the DNA-based vectors translate the enzymes involved. In-vitro transcribed mRNA (IVT mRNA) […]
Acrylamide Reduction in Food: Innovations and Future Prospects
Acrylamide (C3H5NO) is a white, odorless, and crystalline compound synthesized by-product of a Maillard reaction between a carbonyl compound (preferably an alpha-hydroxy carbonyl) and asparagine, an amine compound. It is also known as Acrylic acid amide, Ethylenecarboxamide, 2- Propenamide, Propenoic acid amide, or Vinyl amide and was practically manufactured for use in commercial purposes by […]

Transforming Healthcare with POC Diagnostic Devices
The healthcare sector expanded rapidly following the introduction of point-of-care diagnostic (POC diagnostic) technologies. These tools will make it possible to make diagnostic decisions quickly and frequently, which will help improve patient outcomes. Particularly in rural locations, they will significantly refine the patient’s quality of life. They have an edge over traditional diagnostic tools because […]
Comparator Drugs: A Critical Element in Clinical Research
Comparator drugs are of significant importance in clinical research. Based on pharmaceutical comparator studies and blind comparator stability testing, a drug product’s similarity or superiority to a commercial drug product in the same therapeutic class can be determined.With rising diseases, pharmaceutical companies are under pressure to develop strong strategies for choosing a comparator drug and […]
Carbon Credits: Profitable Avenue for Life Sciences
The growing global interest in sustainability and environmental responsibility has created new financial gateways for mainly every industry worldwide. Life science companies, usually dealing with pharmaceuticals, biotechnological, and medical devices, have recently found yet another way to get involved in environmental activities that will contribute to their environmental bottom line while not neglecting their revenue […]
How Transhumanism is Revolutionizing Healthcare
The notion recognized as transhumanism embraces that humans should be allowed to use technology to modify and improve their body and cognitive functions, thereby extending their potential beyond current biological constraints. In addition to addressing the moral problem of accessibility, this futuristic effort clarifies new rights and lays out workable innovations for disease/ disorder management. […]
