Kidneys are among the most crucial organs of the human body. Their role in regulating blood pressure and serving homeostatic functions is critical in maintaining the balance of nutrients and toxins in the body. Kidneys serve as natural blood filters, removing the water-soluble wastes and reabsorbing the essential elements from the blood. Since they play such a crucial role, kidneys require constant regeneration of dead nephrons and proper blood circulation to maintain healthy cell growth, due to which, they are susceptible to metastasis and cancerous tumors. Renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer, is among the toughest cancers to treat, especially in the advanced stages. Until 1980's, the treatment of kidney cancer included surgical removal of the kidneys. The treatment later progressed to laparoscopic removal of the tumor-affected part of the kidneys, significantly increasing the survival rate and patient comfort. Drugs are usually given to stage four advanced renal cell carcinoma patients with disease progression. Various forms of cancer treatment mechanism have been implemented among the presently approved drugs for kidney cancer; these include, VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) inhibitor, angiogenesis inhibitor, cytokine therapy, and immune modulation therapy to name a few.

Appropriate selection of excipients during the new product development is one of the critical in the pharmaceutical formulations. Criteria for selection of suitable excipient depend on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the excipient. Primarily, it should help stabilize and protect the drug/active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the formulation against degradation, oxidation or aggregation, during manufacturing, transport and storage. Preformulation studies comprise investigation of drug-excipient interactions that help in selection of appropriate excipients to achieve the desired properties for the final drug product. Albumin is a well characterized protein and functions as a therapeutic, diagnostic agent, as well as an excipient. As an excipient, albumin has wide applications in drug formulation, drug delivery, vaccine manufacturing and as a component of media in vaccine production. Stable nature of albumin makes its handling and storage easier than other proteins, making it suitable for use as an excipient. Albumin due to its intrinsic stability can be heated at 60°C for 10 hours facilitating virus inactivation during manufacturing.

The global lightweight materials industry has been experiencing strong growth from various end-use industries, especially from the transportation sector. The transportation sector includes aviation, automobile and railways. Other key end-use industries include medical, energy, defense, consumer goods, building & construction and electronics. However, this study on lightweight materials focuses on key industries such as defense, energy, transportation and medical. Structural advantages of different lightweight materials coupled with expected price reduction of composites in the future is estimated to drive global demand for lightweight materials. However, high cost of lightweight materials is the only significant barrier for demand for these products.

Increasing demand for sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laureth ether sulfate (SLES) and linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) from detergents & cleaners and personal care industries is expected to drive the global SLS, SLES & LAS market in the next five years. However, the adverse effect of SLS and SLES on human skin coupled with fluctuation in prices of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is anticipated to hamper market growth. Emerging applications such as paints & coatings and oilfield chemicals are estimated to offer immense opportunities for players in the market. SLS, SLES and LAS are the major forms of anionic surfactants. However, LAS accounts for nearly 40% of the global anionic surfactants market.
