Copolymers are a class of polymers that consist of two or more different monomeric units. The process of creating these versatile materials is fundamental to a variety of applications in industries ranging from plastics and rubber to biomedical devices and textiles. Understanding how copolymers are made involves a grasp of the underlying chemistry, synthesis techniques, and the properties that ...
What is biofilm? Biofilms are defined as communities of micro-organisms attached to a surface, or one another, and encased within a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The EPS makes up the largest component of the biofilm, and in the biological environment is generally composed of polysaccharides, proteins, glycolipids, blood products, cellular debris, extracellular enzymes, metal ...
Today, navigating the complex landscape of AAV manufacturing has become a focal point for professionals in the biopharma industry looking to exploit this technology in the development of breakthrough treatments. Large-scale production of AAV vectors is a multifaceted and critical ordeal of gene therapy production, and understanding the intricate processes is essential for ...
Across industries, the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving significant investment in projects that integrate smart devices, big data, analytics, and other digitization-related tools. Healthcare institutions are no exception. Hospitals benefit from this advanced connectivity through increased efficiencies, lower costs, and better patient care. As more building infrastructure gets connected; ...
Johnston and his young team are conducting the nation’s largest clinical trial in dogs on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, developing groundbreaking technology for early cancer detection. “We’re unique in our technologies, we probably have the most advanced technology out there in terms of early cancer ...

They are able to justify the high costs because the typical applications for their products are biomedical research and pharmaceutical development. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers products including KnockOut serum replacement which is used for culturing embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (there is a xeno-free option, meaning it’s animal-free), and a ...
After a lightning round of proposals and reviews, an international team of scientists led by Dr. Camillo Ricordi was granted immediate FDA authorization for a 24-patient clinical trial to test the safety and exploratory efficacy of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to block the life-threatening lung inflammation that accompanies severe cases of COVID-19. The therapy uses ...

San Francisco, CA –Aelan Cell Technologies, with an international research team, today released a study that reveals that age is a key determining factor in the efficacy of cell-based or pharmacological treatments. ...
Recent studies from our laboratories have clearly shown the utility of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in biomedical applications. Therefore, the behaviour of CNTs following in vivo administration is of high interest. ...
Medical information systems have recently gained momentum as a proof-of-concept of the efficiency of new support-oriented technologies, in particular, semantic technologies. In principle, diagnosis or medicine advisory and recommendation can change the current biomedical IT landscape, providing intelligent reasoning and inference support. This ...
Since the introduction of Rapid Tooling (RT) in the early 1990s; eliminating the costly and time consuming practice of machining metal tools and dies has been the goal of the industry. This demand for faster, less expensive, high-performance tooling solutions has resulted in more than a dozen processes being developed worldwide. Although only a minority of these have established commercial ...
This paper provides two alternative solutions to the difficult task of providing adequate ventilation to operations found in the biomedical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries. The first approach involves a two-tier strategy that includes an isolation chamber and an appropriately designed local exhaust hood. The second approach involves the design of modular, walk-in hood. ...
Flank wear has been used to assess the wear rates of the tools when machining biomedical materials. It is shown that using an interlayer prior to diamond deposition provides the best surface preparation for producing dental tools.Keywords: dental cutting tools, CVD diamond, medical technology, biomedical applications, wear, titanium nitride, TiN, ...
Previous literature on product development in the field of biotechnology has not focused on how a product is moved from step to step. Thus, insight into issues of crises and managerial choices in the process has not been provided. This paper gets down to the bench-level of bio-entrepreneurship by studying the challenges involved in developing the first product in a company. Through case studies ...
The biotechnology industry supply chain begins with a scientific discovery that often originates in academic research laboratories. This study identified determinants of scientific knowledge output (publications and citations) in a sample of academic Canadian biomedical laboratories. The amount of research funding was found to be a positive determinant of the number of publications, but the ...
