The bio-manufacturing of recombinant proteins requires robust processes that can maximize protein yield from mammalian cell cultures while ensuring the efficacy of these proteins as human therapeutics.

Organ-on-chips (OOCs) are small plastic devices with biocompatible microfluid chambers containing multiple live human cells in a 3D culture that stimulate key physiological functions of body organs. The organ-on-chip market has grown 70.5% since 2015, reaching nearly $41.6 million in 2019, according to a report by The Business Research Company.

Genomic medicine has the potential to save lives, transform medical practice around the world, and drive billions of dollars of economic activity, according to a new white paper by BIS Research titled The Five Forces of Genomic Medicine.

According to Advances in Biopharmaceutical Technology in China, 2nd Ed, a report from BioPlan Associates, China is making strides in raising its Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) standards as it works to improve its global profile. GMP biopharmaceutical manufacturing has a short history in China, with the first version of guidance issued in 1998. In 2010, China's Ministry of Health released its fourth version of China GMP, with this iteration significantly raising the standards to be met by domestic biopharmaceutical developers.

Many have questioned whether China can move from "the world's factory” for consumer goods, electronics, and commodities, into technologically complex biologics.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that biopharma in China is growing faster than many in the West have projected. A number of economic and development factors are contributing to this growth. But these have all been evolving for decades. 

So if there is a gap in Western (and in some cases China’s own internal) knowledge about this evolution, it should be put down to simply not paying enough attention.  

The next generation sequencing (NGS) market has captured the interest of many companies and investors across a variety of applications including clinical diagnostics, drug discovery and development, forensics, and consumer genomics, to name a few.

Exosomes are small vesicles ranging from 30-100nm in size that are found in nearly all eukaryotic fluids and facilitate a variety of important cellular functions. One of their important functions is to transfer DNA, RNA, and proteins to other cells.

For years, exosomes were considered to be transporters of cellular waste, but now they are becoming recognized for their critical role in cell-to-cell communication and transportation.

According to a new market research report by BIS Research titled Global Precision Medicine Market – Analysis and Forecast (2017-2026), the global precision medicine market is expected to reach a value of $141.7 billion by the year 2026, wherein the oncology market segment is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4% from 2017 to 2026.

3D bioprinting artificially constructs living tissue by applying layer-upon-layer of living cells. The deposition of live cells in combination with biological substances such as collagen, fibrin, and gelatin supports the growth of complete tissues and organs.
