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.
"Surfaktan (Surface-active agents) merupakan salah satu material yang memiliki peran krusial dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Pesatnya perkembangan sains dan teknologi telah membuka cakrawala baru di berbagai bidang, di mana surfaktan memainkan peran utama yang sangat vital. Oleh karena itu, meningkatnya jumlah aplikasi serta munculnya isu-isu lingkungan menjadikan topik yang relatif klasik ini tet…
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…
Acting on conviction has been linked to extreme accomplishments and signifcant positive change. At the same time, according to one of the earliest modern commentators on the concept of conviction, Friedrich Nietzsche, “convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies”
The catalysis of chemical reactions is one of the most central processes in biology, as most reactions in living organisms would occur too slowly to play any role in their metabolism. For example, the rate of biologically relevant reactions would take hundreds to millions of years in the absence of a catalyst (Stockbridge et al., 2010)
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…
