As more and more pharmaceutical companies launch into new projects, an even greater amount of pharmaceuticals are secreted into the environment. “Sustainability” has become commonplace in operational discussions; however, companies are still working toward that end. According to statistics reported by WHO, 15 percent of waste generated by health-care activities is considered to be hazardous: infectious, toxic, or radioactive. Washington State’s Department of Ecology explains the process of direct disposal of these pharmaceuticals: If disposed of or excreted to the sewer, pharmaceuticals are sent to [...]

Canton, Mass. – Award-winning research from a multidisciplinary team at the University of Miami provides new insight on what happens to a patient’s genomic profile when Apligraf®, an FDA-approved, bioengineered living cell-based therapy from Organogenesis Inc., is applied to a chronic venous leg ulcer (VLU), when compared to conventional therapy alone. The analysis found that Apligraf altered specific molecular and cellular responses in the wound environment, reversing the chronic wound profile to resemble more of an acute wound profile. “This [...]
