Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, peptic ulcer, Hp-related dyspepsia and other diseases. Studies have found that Hp can cause gastric microbial disorders, change the microbial diversity and community structure in the stomach, and cause precancerous lesions. The public health community has made great efforts to eradicate Hp for a long time, but the current Hp infection rate in the entire population is still over 50%. In recent years, probiotics have attracted attention due to their relative safety, and microecological therapy has brought new ideas for the treatment of Hp.

A Covid pill by autumn is highly unlikely, yet the safest, cheapest treatment for COVID-19 is being ignored. Shortly after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared that we will have “a tablet you can take at home that will reduce the chance of the COVID-19 infection turning into more severe disease” * by autumn, Pfizer announced the start of trials on a new experimental drug it hopes to have available by the end of the year. Pfizer’s spokesperson Dr. Neeta Ogden told CBS News "I think that with this drug we really have to look at it as a game changer. We haven't seen medication even discussed on the horizon that one can take early on or prophylactically if you've been exposed, kind of like what we have for the flu."

Monodispersed PEG linkers are pure compounds with a single molecular weight. In contrast, polydisperse PEGs linkers contain variations in molecular weight with an average molecular weight.
Monodisperse PEG products usually are organic compounds with a molecular weight of less than 1000. Monodispersed PEG linkers are pure compounds with a single molecular weight. In contrast, polydisperse PEGs linkers contain variations in molecular weight with an average molecular weight. The use of polydisperse PEGs linkers in drug development has led to problems in biological applications due to steric hindrance and binding. With advancements in both synthetic and purification chemistry over the past two decades, monodispersed PEG linkers have become more commercially viable.  Monodispersed…

With the global medical device market expected to hit USD 613 billion value by 2025, there will be an inevitable increase in associated regulatory requirements. That means MedTech manufacturers must adopt a more cohesive way of refining technical content, while integrating market feedback into product lifecycle and labelling management. Barbara Peralta, Director of Life Sciences Solutions at Amplexor, explores how this might happen.
The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is now in force across member states, and the equivalent In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) will follow in May 2022. Other major geographies are either well into their own initiatives or heading in a similar direction, as health authorities around the world seek to make devices more traceable and ensure more consistent m…

Lipid nanoparticles have been developed as vehicles for small molecule delivery by the nanomedicine and materials communities and are now a key component of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
Vaccines against COVID-19 have been developed with unprecedented speed. In particular, mRNA vaccines — a technology already in clinical trials for other infectious diseases, such as influenza — have shown impressive efficacy in clinical trials.  mRNA vaccines rely on the delivery of mRNA into the cytoplasm of host cells, where it can be transcribed into antigenic proteins to trigger the production of neutralizing antibodies. However, mRNA is three to four orders of magnitude larger than molecules that readily diffuse into cells; in addition, the dense negative charge of mRNA electrostatically repulses the an…

The pharmaceuticals sector is facing a raft of difficult challenges today. In broad terms, pharmaceuticals manufacturing is a complex process. Patented products are licensed for a finite amount of time before they become generic, equating to a constant sense of ‘the race is on’ to be able to meet demand. Manufacturers are focused on reducing supply chain disruption, increasing batch production capacity, and reducing batch losses.
