- COP28: Green Tech Takes Center Stage as Funding Paves the Way for Biotech Solutions
The dust has settled on COP28, and amid the flurry of pledges and promises, one theme stands out: biotechnology and green manufacturing are emerging as the keystones of the fight against climate change. This article delves into the funding commitments made at the conference and explores how these innovative solutions can empower companies and countries to achieve their ambitious climate targets.
- Cell and Gene Therapy – The Next Frontier in Lifesciences
In this era of rapid scientific and technological advancements, we are at the precipice of a healthcare revolution. Cell and Gene therapy (CGT), pioneering treatments that leverage our own biology, are poised to challenge traditional healthcare frameworks. CGT has been witnessing an expanding total addressable market and is expected to grow exponentially. However, the potential gains are not merely financial. Investments in this growing field also help propel the momentum of scientific and medical progress, funding vital research that brings us closer to a more efficient, personalized, and holistic healthcare future. This article attempts to present the current and future landscape of CGT, with a focus on the clinical pipeline evolution, strategic collaborations, and financing and investment environment globally.
- Exploring the Complexities of Hair Loss: Insights into Causes and Research Trends
Hair loss is a pervasive worldwide concern. It can be caused due to various conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium. The past decade has witnessed extensive research efforts dedicated to understanding the intricate factors that cause hair loss, delving into internal and external elements, alongside the impact of signaling pathways in varying manifestations of hair loss. While some studies have explored genetic predisposition associated with androgenetic alopecia, others have researched the role of hormonal imbalance linked to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders.
- Global Market Opportunity for Bio-Based Resins
Bio-based resin is being increasingly adopted across industries as the need for sustainability has risen. Bio-based resins, made from partially or wholly plant-derived monomers, offer a sustainable and carbon-positive approach for consumers and manufacturers shifting to a bioeconomy model from highly-priced and depleting fossil fuel ingredients. Government regulations have also boosted their application. Successful commercialization is leading to the growth of bio-based resin throughout the world.
- Captured Carbon Dioxide – A Valuable Resource
With climate change threatening the entire planet, it is essential to take decisive steps to stop environmental degradation. Governments across the globe are committed to reducing their carbon emission and invest in green energy, carbon capture (CC), and carbon capture and utilization (CCU). These technologies help modify captured carbon and reuse it, thereby reducing pollution and contributing to achieving net zero emission.
- Exploring the Issue of Hair Loss and Underlying Health Conditions
Hair loss affects a large section of the global population irrespective of age, gender, and ethnicity. This issue can be ascribed to multiple factors including genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences; however, it also serves as a subtle yet revealing indicator of underlying health conditions.
- Opportunities for Improved CAR T Cell Therapy
Research and technological advancements are targeting the limitations of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy to improve its efficiency, minimize side effects, and reduce manufacturing costs. Most of these technologies are under development and will take time to be implemented. Through these advancements, the future holds promising prospects to overcome the challenges associated with CAR T cell therapy.
- CRISPR Technology – An Emerging Solution in Healthcare
CRISPR technology has been gaining growing acceptance and popularity in the healthcare sector. Its varied applications in medical science has fostered innovations, with many startups entering the fray. However, CRISPR is a complex concept, and the technology is still at the nascent stage of development. Many new applications are under trials and await approval for launch. Moreover, the technology is marred with some underlying ethical issues. A strong regulatory framework will ensure the appropriate use of CRISPR.
