Companies are where many scientific ideas meet manufacturing, regulation, customers, and cost. That does not make the science less important; it makes the pathway from paper to product more visible.

Tracking companies helps readers understand which discoveries are becoming tools, which remain early signals, and where commercial incentives shape the research ecosystem.
