Comprehensive wound assessment is vital to understand the nature of wounds and devise evidence-based and cost-effective therapeutic interventions. However, traditionally used methods for wound diagnosis and monitoring cannot accurately measure wound dimensions, require physical contact with the wound, which causes discomfort to the patients, and ca...

Rising healthcare and surgery costs are increasing the burden on healthcare systems, making it difficult for hospitals to offer high-quality care at affordable prices. Time-consuming manual processes that significantly impact surgeon time and workload, hospital cost increases due to delayed surgery, and low patient satisfaction levels due to human ...

The Frost & Sullivan research service discusses the cell and gene therapy (CGT) market and highlights some key roadblocks in viral vector manufacturing. While many CGT candidates exist in the pipeline, there is a huge capacity deficit that the industry is collaboratively trying to address. Scalability, costs, reproducibility, and overall process ef...

Connected medical devices are experiencing major interest from the healthcare industry because of their ability to integrate digital technologies, link with smartphones and online platforms, and share data. Advanced and small-sized sensors are set to accelerate the miniaturization of connected medical devices and improve their accuracy. As such, sm...

RNA therapeutics is a rapidly expanding field of next-generation medicine. RNA therapy typically comprises 4 different classes of molecules: non-codingRNA (ncRNA), antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), messengerRNA (mRNA), and RNA aptamer. Small ncRNAs are like a double-edged sword; they can either up- or down-regulate specific genes. Contrarily, long...

Wounds, especially chronic wounds, are associated with clinical, social, and economic challenges. Wounds resulting from diabetes, injuries, and surgeries affect a significant population globally. According to an economic evaluation study on Medicare beneficiaries, 8.2 million people in the United States have at least one type of chronic wound. Amon...

The year 2018 was a breakthrough period for RNA therapeutics as the first RNA therapy received approval from the FDA. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, RNA vaccines have witnessed immense progress and acceptance globally. These events have contributed massively to growth across the RNA therapeutics market. Currently, several RNA therapeutic...

Neurological diseases refer to disorders of the brain, nerves, and spinal cord that lead to structural, biochemical, or electrical complications in the body.
