This reprint examines regulatory, pricing and reimbursement issues related to the market access and uptake of off-patent biologics, biosimilars, next-generation biologics and competing innovative medicines in European countries.
The aim of this Special Issue is to review, understand, and evaluate new and exciting opportunities from the field on regenerative medicine, biomaterials, and stem cell research for the bioengineering of human liver grafts that can be applied for transplantation and personalized treatment of end-stage liver disease.The development of culture conditions for long-term expansion of LGR5+ intestina…
Albumin is playing an increasing role as a versatile, biodegradable drug carrier in clinical theranostics. By applying different techniques, smart drug-delivery systems can be developed from albumin in order to improve drug delivery of different active pharmaceutical ingredients, even small-molecule drugs, peptides or enzymes. Principally, three drug delivery technologies can be distinguished f…
Advances in 3D Printing presents an overview of various types of advances in 3D printing. It discusses current research trends, problems, and applications of 3D printing processes and materials. The book also discusses advances in bioprinting, tissue generation, radiotherapy, and safety issues in health care. It showcases applications of 3D printing in digital design, body part surrogates, rheo…
Biocompatible polymers are used for many different purposes (catheters, artificial heart components, dentistry products, etc.). An important field for biocompatible polymers is the production of vision implants known as intraocular lenses or custom-shape contact lenses
This research synthesizes novel copolyester (PCITN) containing biobased isosorbide, 1,4-cyclohexandimethanol, terephthalic acid, and 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and characterize its properties. The PCITN copolyester was extruded into film, and its performance properties including: tensile strength, Young’s modulus, thermal, dimensional stability, barrier (water barrier), and optical…
Dieses Buch beschreibt Maßnahmen zur Sicherstellung der Bearbeitungsgenauigkeit unter thermisch instationären Bedingungen bei gesteigerter Produktivität, ohne zusätzliche Energie für die Temperierung aufzuwenden. Es werden Forschungsergebnisse zu thermischen Einflüssen sowie deren Beeinflussung und Beherrschung vorgestellt. Die dargestellten Entwicklungsarbeiten wurden im Rahmen des Sonde…
