In regenerative medicine, small biological messengers are making a big impact. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and a subset of EVs, exosomes, are transforming how scientists think about tissue repair, wound healing, and even skin rejuvenation. These nanoscale carriers of bioactive molecules – proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids – are enabling new cell-free therapies by orchestrating tissue…

From toothbrushes to tongue scrapers, oral care products tackle one of the most microbiologically active environments in the human body, with conditions where diverse microbial species thrive. This makes antimicrobial effectiveness testing essential, and proves to be a unique challenge for product developers: proving their antimicrobial claims while satisfying strict regulatory standards. USP and ISO…

The mouth is an active place. At any given moment, there are billions of bacteria alive and multiplying. While many are beneficial, others pose more serious risks. As medical understanding of the oral environment and its microbial communities advances, innovative oral care products are being developed that focus on safe, targeted antimicrobial solutions. However, developing…

As R&D teams push the boundaries of innovation through the development of new materials, complex formulations, and first-of-their-kind medical devices, ensuring regulatory compliance becomes both more challenging and critical. A novel coating or unique material may offer groundbreaking benefits, but without a clear path to approval or a plan for scalable uses, even the most…
