Precision Medicine –A Multi-Faceted Approach to Patient Care

 

The year 2003 marks the completion of the Human Genome Project, a 13-year, $3.00 billion collaborative effort for the sequencing and mapping of the complete human genome. Human Genome Project further enabled scientists to research extensively on the gene variants to specific diseases and develop targeted therapeutics. The completion, consequently, created the platform for the development of precision medicines. Since its introduction in the early 21st century, the precision medicine market has shown promising growth.

Precision medicine involves a detailed study of patient-specific information to diagnose and characterize the diseases, resulting in target-based treatment of diseases. The concept of precision medicine is rapidly growing in the medical community through tremendous expansion in various advanced technologies, such as next-generation sequencing, molecular biomarker analysis, bioinformatics, and big data analytics, among others. Precision medicine acquired immense potential to prevent and treat various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, neurology, diabetes, and other diseases, which are burdening  the  present  healthcare  system, owing  to  such  advanced technologies.

Precision medicine holds immense potential to restructure the healthcare industry. It is an emerging approach that enables the investigation of various diseases by evaluating the genetic makeup of an individual subject, thereby providing tailored treatment to each patient. By applying a thorough understanding of diseases with rich patient data, accurate risk assessments, active monitoring, early detection, and advanced analytics, precision medicine can help physicians tailor medicines in accordance with the needs of individual patients leading to better outcomes at potentially lower costs.

Personal Care Ingredients Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2019-2029

The introduction and proliferation of bio-based ingredients in several industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, has been transforming the manufacturing landscape since 2000. Growing consumer inclination toward the adoption of bio-based products due to rising health and environmental concerns is driving the demand for bio-based ingredients in the cosmetics and personal care products. Besides, awareness among consumers regarding the harmful effects of synthetic ingredients chemicals has grown rapidly over the past years. In addition, the availability of green raw materials has also urged large cosmetic firms to develop bio-based cosmetic products. However, limited availability of raw material, due to erratic weather conditions and stringent environmental regulations, can pose substantial hurdles in the production of bio-based ingredients. Thus, leading companies have been focusing on developing new and sustainable ways of producing the ingredi...

Understanding How the Human Centric Lighting Market is Segmented

Lighting plays a significant role in the lives of people, it has the potential to bring about positive changes in people’s behaviour. In the year 1989, a research was carried out and it proved that natural daylight can trigger the production of melatonin and serotonin, two of the most important hormones in the human body. These two hormones are responsible for inducing peaceful sleep and happiness in people. This led to the research and development in the field of human centric lighting (HCL). According to a report published by the BIS Research , the HCL market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 37.2% and 35.2% both in terms of volume and value during the forecast period (2018 – 2024). The HCL is segmented by the component, end-user and by region. Request the Sample: Human Centric Lighting Market The human centric lighting market can be further segmented by component, type, end-users, and region. The components or the controls are further segmented as microprocessors & microco...

Liquid Biopsy, North America, and Lung Cancer Occupying a Major Share in the Market

  Owing to the market availability of large number of liquid biopsy technologies, the liquid biopsy segment currently accounts for a dominating share in the global minimally invasive biopsy technologies market . However, the market growth in the segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for liquid biopsy and the strong product pipeline. For instance, CNI Second Opinion by Chronix Biomedical is presently under development and is expected to get launched during the forecast period 2019-2030. Owing to a widespread market presence of leading players and the huge prevalence of cancer, North America presently holds a major share in the global minimally invasive biopsy technologies market. According to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), with an estimated 2 million cases in 2018, lung cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in men and third-most commonly occurring cancer in women. Due to the widespread presence of cancer, the manufacturers including Biocept, Inc., Chron...
