Sterile Manufacturing Facility Acquisition by Avara Pharmaceutical Services
Avara Pharmaceutical Services, a world-class contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced that it has agreed to acquire the largest sterile manufacturing facility for injectable medicines in Canada from a leading global pharmaceutical company, as part of a continuing expansion of its global footprint.
Nanoparticles Fight Brain Cancer
Nanoparticles carrying two drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier and shrink glioblastoma tumors. Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor, is one of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. Only a handful of drugs are approved to treat glioblastoma, and the median life expectancy for patients diagnosed with the disease is less than 15 months.
Microscale Diamonds for Medical Devices
Team led by Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley researchers exploits tiny defects in diamonds to pave the way for enhanced biological imaging and drug studies. An international team led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley discovered how to exploit defects in nanoscale and microscale diamonds to strongly enhance the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems while eliminating the need for their costly and bulky superconducting magnets.
Boron Nitride Nanotubes New Nano Building Block
Boron nitride nanotubes, like their carbon cousins, are rolled sheets of hexagonal arrays. Unlike carbon nanotubes, they’re electrically insulating hybrids made of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms. Insulating nanotubes that can be functionalized will be a valuable building block for nanoengineering projects, Martí said. “
Polio Vaccine New Single Injection Approach
To create a single-injection vaccine, the MIT team encapsulated the inactivated polio vaccine in a biodegradable polymer known as PLGA. This polymer can be designed to degrade after a certain period of time, allowing the researchers to control when the vaccine is released.
Quantum Dots Destroy Lung Cancer Cells
Nanoparticles derived from tea leaves inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells, destroying up to 80% of them, new research by a joint Swansea University and Indian team has shown. The team made the discovery while they were testing out a new method of producing a type of nanoparticle called quantum dots. These are tiny particles which measure less than 10 nanometres. A human hair is 40,000 nanometres thick.
Cancer Trap Invention Kills Cancer Cells
The University of Texas at Arlington has successfully patented in Europe an implantable medical device that attracts and kills circulating cancer cells that was invented by a faculty member. This cancer trap can be used for early diagnosis and treatment of metastasized cancer.
Topical Nanotechnology Diagnoses Skin Disease
A new study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering documents a novel diagnostic technology that exploits topically applied nanotechnology to detect skin tissue biomarkers for diagnosis. This concept is demonstrated by noninvasively imaging connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA in abnormal scar cells, whole tissue, and animal models.
New Sensor for Brain Research
A new reagent discovered by research scientists at St George’s, University of London has shown real-time brain behaviour in more detail than ever before.The sensor, iGluu, will now be made available to other researchers who may be working on either the fundamental properties of neuronal signalling or on neurodegenerative disease such as Huntington’ and Alzheimer’s disease. The sensor will help reveal what goes wrong with glutamate signalling in these conditions.
Supersonic Waves Improves Heat Transport in Insulators
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory made the first observations of waves of atomic rearrangements, known as phasons, propagating supersonically through a vibrating crystal lattice—a discovery that may dramatically improve heat transport in insulators and enable new strategies for heat management in future electronics devices.
New Aseptic API Line Facility
The aseptic API line facility, which was officially opened today by AMRI leaders and local officials, was announced in November 2017 and enhances capacity at the site while complementing AMRI’s other aseptic API manufacturing plants in Bon Encontre and Tonneins, France.
New EU Medical Device Regulation Course
The New EU Medical Device regulation course has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant’s RAC recertification upon full completion. In 2012, the Commission adopted a package of measures on innovation in health. The package consisted of a Communication and two regulation proposals to revise existing legislation on general medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
Pharmaceutical News
Pharmaceutical Cleanroom News and Advancements
The Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Industry or medicine industry is the commercial industry that discovers, develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals for various uses and formations of medicines and medications. The pharmaceutical cleanroom industry produces the controlled aseptic cleanroom environments where by the pharmaceutical products are created and packaged. Pharmaceutical companies create a various array of products for different applications.
The primary developments of Pharmaceutical companies are generic medications, branded pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The pharmaceutical companies are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that govern the patenting, testing, safety, efficacy and marketing of drugs.

Pharmaceuctical Cleanroom News | Biotechnology Industry News | Medical Device News
The Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Industry is a booming industry, and production has been growing exponentially over the past few decades as innovations in the medical field have taken off. This increasing production has also led to increasing demands for safety features installed in industrial pharmaceutical manufacturing plants and storage areas. These safety procedures ensure the health of employees as well as the safe preservation of products that are stored for later use by consumers.
