Zinc Oxide Market
Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is inorganic compound which is also known as Calamine or Zinc White. It is naturally found as a mineral zincite. It is widely used in cosmetics, skin care products, and pharmaceuticals. Zinc oxide is used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as itching due to eczema, dermatitis, diaper rash, and acne. Moreover, it is used in products such as barrier creams and baby powder to treat diaper rashes, antiseptic ointments, anti-dandruff shampoos, and calamine cream. Zinc is also important to wound healing and the sense of taste and smell.

Zinc oxide also helps reduce inflammation as well as the risk of bacterial infections. The compound also decreases the permeability of pores and promotes tighter junctions. Zinc oxide helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Moreover, it can be used to treat burns and sunburn. Known as a skin protectant, zinc oxide is a common ingredient in sunscreens. Not only does it block both UVA rays and UVB rays, both of which are responsible for causing burns, skin damage, and skin cancer, but it's completely photostable and resistant to water.

Zinc oxide also finds application in treatment of a number of skin conditions and is widely used in products. One of the major applications of zinc oxide is its usage in creams, lotions, and ointments to protect the skin against harmful UV rays and sunburn. Zinc oxide is also found in some rubber, glass, and ceramic products, and finds use in the chemical industry as a catalyst. It is also used in paints as a corrosion inhibitor and for mildew control. Zinc oxide has been proven safe to be used and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its safety.

The FDA has determined that this white, powdery mineral is safe for use in cosmetic products in concentrations up to 25%. However, zinc oxide is also on the Hazardous Substance List because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH, DEP, and EPA.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...
