Patentability challenges associated with emerging pharmaceutical technologies.

According to the recent patent filing trends, it has been observed that certain pharmaceutical technologies are more popular than others and are commonly referred to as emerging technologies. The emerging technologies in the pharmaceutical sector include artificial intelligence, big data and certain advanced biological therapies such as personalized medicine and stem cell therapy. These trends have various applications in the medicine and healthcare industry.

Plant stem cells and their applications: special emphasis on their marketed products.

Stem cells are becoming increasingly popular in public lexicon owing to their prospective applications in the biomedical and therapeutic domains. Extensive research has found various independent stem cell systems fulfilling specific needs of plant development. Plant stem cells are innately undifferentiated cells present in the plant's meristematic tissues.
