A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.

Belgium-based Materialise, which specializes […]
Children’s hospital leaders in Ohio recently brought to light an “unlimited supply” of unsolved problems in pediatrics that certainly isn’t going to solve itself.
