One major reason is anatomical, not pharmacological: even a compound with strong target biology has little therapeutic value if it cannot reach the relevant brain tissue at sufficient concentration. read more

  • Aligning Environmental Monitoring Expectations with Scientific Realities

    Considering the advances in aseptic processing and their effectiveness in eliminating the primary sources of contamination (i.e., human activity), it is not our intent to entirely disparage the value of monitoring. Environmental monitoring has some value in trend analysis within an overall contamination control strategy. However, it is not a control mechanism. read more
