In recent years, the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry has intensified its search for alternatives to animal experimentation. This trend responds to three simultaneous pressures: growing concern for animal welfare, scientific doubts about the validity of extrapolating animal data to humans, and the increasing availability of alternative methodologies yielding more [...]
Transdermal patches have come a long way since their introduction in 1979. However, unlike other pharmaceutical forms, they never achieved massive market penetration: between 2015 and 2022, the FDA approved only 84 transdermal patches out of a total of 7,239 generic products, representing just 1.2% of the total. The reason [...]
The scientific communication system we use today is the result of centuries of evolution. Understanding how we got here — and where the system has failed — is relevant for any team that uses scientific evidence as the basis for development decisions. [...]
