Manufacturers in the CRISPR and CAS gene are collaborating with many companies for sponsoring clinical trials. Editas Medicine has licensed CRISPR and other gene editing patent rights from the Broad Institute, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard University, and others. In March 2017, Editas reportedly entered into an agreement with Irish pharmaceutical company Allergan under, which Editas was to receive a US$ 90 million up-front payment for an option to license up to five preclinical programs targeting eye disease.

The bone transplantation materials are of three types: same body bone, different body bone, and artificial bone. Excellent bone substitutes are required to provide decent biological compatibility and also act positively in bone reconstruction in terms of speeding bone repair achieving better therapeutic effects. Artificial bone is a bone-like material, which is created in laboratory that can be used to replace human bone and as bone grafts for severe fractures or bone damages.

Heart transport systems are apparatuses that are used for maintenance and nourishment of heart while it is being transported from harvest in preparation for transplantation. Heart transportation is a complicated process since heart can only be preserved for around 4 hours in an ice box. In the recent past, novel technologies have been developed such as LifeCradle product by Organ Transport Systems that can preserve heart for 12 hours.

One of the major advantages of nasal drug delivery system is that the drug circumvents hepatic first-pass metabolism, leading to high bioavailability as compared to drug administered orally. On the contrary, parenteral route of administration is also inconvenient for long term therapeutic treatment.

Antithrombin is a protein present in blood that inactivates thrombin to restrict blood clotting. The protein in produced by liver and contains 432 amino acids. There are two types of antithrombin deficiency and inherited antithrombin deficiency. Antithrombin deficiency caused due to other diseases such as nephrotic syndrome, liver failure, severe trauma, and metastatic tumors is called acquired antithrombin deficiency, whereas inherited antithrombin deficiency is caused due to a genetic mutation or abnormality. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), inherited antithrombin deficiency is a rare deficiency that occurs in only 0.2% of the global population.

Theranostics is an advanced field of medicine that involves a combination of targeted diagnostic tests with targeted therapy. It is also known as companion diagnostics, integrated medicine, Dx/Rx partnering, and pharmacodiagnostics. The theranostic utilizes nanoscience to unite diagnostic and therapeutic application in order to create a single agent, for diagnosis, drug delivery, and monitoring treatment response. Moreover, this technique utilizes specific biological pathways in the human body for obtaining diagnostic images and also deliver a therapeutic dose.

Growing adoption of pediatric vaccines has significantly increased global coverage of vaccination. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), immunization helps to prevent around 2 to 3 million deaths annually. Moreover, vaccination is the most cost–effective and efficient health investment, which is accessible to hard-to-reach locations and disease-susceptible populations.
