POP TEST ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM OF UNRELIABLE DATA FROM CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORS
A major insight relating to the unreliability of data from continuous glucose monitors was published in the Nature journal, “Scientific Reports”, by Neil Theise, MD., the Lead Scientist of Pop Test, LLC and colleagues. The discovery of the “Interstitium”, a newfound human organ, by Dr. Theise and his collaborators, can be viewed by using the link https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-23062-6
Continual glucose monitoring via an indwelling cutaneous needle measuring glucose in interstitial fluid (now identified to be in the “interstitium”) has been a game changer in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus because of its accuracy. However, the needles used to collect this glucose containing fluid often fail in as little as a week. Despite the reliance on fluid from this space, the microanatomy of the interstitium has never been defined. The sensors currently in use were developed with the presumption of interstitial fluid being located somewhere in the sub-epidermal layers of the skin, but the actual anatomy relating to needle placement was always unclear.

The Importance of ADCC in Assessing Clinically Relevant Differences
Sartorius Stedim BioOutsource Ltd
Biosimilars have caused a revolution in the development of biologic drugs. The model for biosimilars is a combination of speed to market and low cost; these are fundamental to any biosimilar development project. The biosimilars pathway to approval is not always without difficulty, biosimilars are still relatively new, and as each new applicant is reviewed we are learning more and more about these molecules.
