Regenerative Medicine Market Trends

Stem Cell Therapy is the Segment by Type of Technology that is Expected to be the Largest During the Forecast Period

There has been accelerated research happening in the field of the central nervous system, based on stem cells, to address a plethora of neurological conditions. Stem cells from the human blood and bone marrow have been extensively used in the isolation and production of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that are used in the field of regenerative medicine. There has been renewed interest in adult stem cells as a novel pool from which undifferentiated stem cells can be taken and then used for various applications.

The research into adult stem cells has been fueled by their abilities to divide or self-renew indefinitely and generate all the cell types of the organ from which they originate potentially regenerating the entire organ from a few cells. The production of adult stem cells does not require the destruction of an embryo. Also, stem cell research has received considerable attention and has been extensively studied in the field of medicine. Recently, in April 2021, ExCellThera Inc. and Ossium Health announced a collaboration to evaluate and advance opportunities to employ adult stem cells from deceased donors from Ossium Health's first-in-the-world bone marrow bank in conjunction with ExCellThera's ECT-001 cell expansion and rejuvenation technology.
