Evolving relations between the pharmaceutical industry and public sector research
The interface between the pharmaceutical industry and public sector research (PSR) is increasingly diverse, dynamic and complex. As the industry consolidates at the top end, it is also differentiating and fragmenting. A new layer of small focused-activity companies are emerging, many from PSR. This paper examines patterns of knowledge exchange between PSR and industry along the length of the ...

Innovation management of Japanese pharmaceutical companies: the case of an antibiotic developed by Takeda
It is often argued that the Japanese pharmaceutical industry lacks international competitiveness partly because of its weakness in innovation – most new drugs developed by Japanese companies are imitative and lack appeal in overseas markets. To address this problem, I suggest a well-defined typology of drug innovation. I found in my previous studies that the dominant type of innovation among ...

What Are Heparins?
Heparin, also known as standard heparin or unfractionated heparin, is a linear polysaccharide consisting of 1-4 linked disaccharide repeat units of uronic acid and glucosamine residues. Heparin was discovered nearly 100 years ago and has been used clinically as a blood anticoagulant since 1935. This is due to its ability to bind to the antithrombin(serine protease inhibitor), causing the ...

Unveiling Gene Isoforms by RNA Sequencing: Detection Methods and Applications
What Is Gene Isoform? Gene isoforms are different variations or versions of a gene that can be produced by alternative splicing or alternative transcription initiation and termination. These isoforms are often present in the same organism or cell type but differ in their coding sequence or in the regulatory elements that control their expression. Alternative splicing is a process in which ...
