Molecular point-of-care (mPOC) diagnostic solutions offer enhanced sensitivity and specificity compared to existing near-patient and rapid tests. They expand diagnostic capabilities in critical care units, physician offices, outpatient clinics, and community health posts, aiming to assess conditions or admit patients accurately. The concept blends the accessibility of point-of-care (POC) testing with the precision of molecular […]

Vaccines offer long-term or permanent immunity against diseases. They have been a cornerstone of preventive medicine for over 70 years, stimulating an immune response to specific diseases. The widespread adoption of effective vaccines has led to the near-elimination of many deadly diseases, making vaccination one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. […]

Diagnostic testing plays a crucial role in animal healthcare, offering veterinarians a diverse range of tests for disease identification and monitoring. The efficacy of diagnostic testing relies on swift, reliable, and accurate methods, facilitating informed diagnoses. Despite various challenges, the veterinary diagnostics market has shown consistent growth and is forecasted to continue on this trajectory. […]

Liquid biopsies have emerged as a minimally invasive diagnostic tool, analyzing tumor-derived materials circulating in biological fluids to offer valuable information for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. While tissue biopsies and imaging techniques remain standard in solid tumor diagnosis, liquid biopsies present an alternative or complementary approach, addressing some of the limitations and risks associated […]

Recent years saw molecular diagnostics emerge as the fastest growing segment within the global in vitro diagnostics (IVD) market. The market was both boosted and challenged in unexpected ways by COVID-19. But where does the multi-billion-dollar molecular diagnostic market stand post pandemic? This new report by Kalorama Information, The World Market for Molecular Diagnostics, 12th […]

While the concepts of gene therapy and cell therapy have been investigated for decades, there were major challenges in the early years.  Through incremental progress, and the gradual introduction of enabling tools such as CRISPR and next-generation sequencing (NGS), cell and gene therapy has emerged into a highly active area.  There are now many approved […]

In recent decades, the introduction of various new genetic technologies for research use and diagnostics has revolutionized many areas and opened new frontiers in healthcare.  For example, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have become widely used in genetic diseases, and have grown rapidly in oncology, due to the comprehensive insights they can provide at a relatively […]

Telehealth and remote patient monitoring have become integral to improving health conditions and preventing health complications. The transformations observed during the pandemic have bolstered telemedicine and, consequently, remote patient monitoring, instilling confidence in virtual patient assessment and access to advanced technological monitoring. Since January 2019, remote patient monitoring has experienced a significant surge, and current […]

In vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing is getting back to regular business and continues to be a driving force in the practice of medicine. It has gone from helping the physician to diagnose illness to providing the physician with invaluable information on treatments such as precision medicine. COVID-19 testing continues to decline but is still a […]
