M2 - Wed Mar 12, 6:14AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4lq46f/regenerative) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the United States Regenerative Medicine Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering. There is a high demand for synthetic organ transplants in the market. Regenerative medicine helps in the development of artificial organs. The introduction of artificial organs for implantation is expected to encourage many vendors and research organizations to develop advanced stem cell products, therapies, and regenerative products. It will also help reduce the long organ waiting list. For instance, custom-made windpipe can be made using regenerative products within a week. The first ever implant of a synthetic trachea took place in June 2011. The synthetic trachea was made from minuscule plastic fibers and was covered in stem cells taken from a human bone marrow. Surgeons successfully implanted this synthetic trachea into a 36-year-old patient with late-stage tracheal cancer at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm. Thus, the use of synthetic organs in transplant surgeries is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the market. According to the report, one of the main drivers of this market is the increasing prevalence of degenerative diseases. Regenerative products have helped in addressing the unmet needs of various disease areas. Another major driver of the market is the significant advances seen in R&D. Key Topics Covered: 1.

Japan's Bold Initiative in Regenerative Medicine and Who the Big Winners Might Be
ACCESSWIRE - Mon Mar 03, 9:55AM CST
Like many other regions in the world, Japan is facing a demographic problem that threatens to pose enormous challenges for their national healthcare system in the years ahead, as the elderly segment of the population expands dramatically. According to analysis by the Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan, the percentage of the population that is over the age of 65 is expected to nearly double in the coming years. Given that the aging segment of the population requires greater healthcare resources and that this shift will place substantial pressure on the national healthcare system in Japan, it is understandable that the trend has received considerable attention from policy makers.

Companies Aligned to Capitalize on New Japanese Regenerative Medicine Initiatives
ACCESSWIRE - Mon Jan 13, 9:09AM CST
Thanks to new legislation being approved by the Upper House of Japan's Parliament in November, Japan's so-called "drug lag," specifically with respect to regenerative medicine, will likely become a thing of the past. By retooling the framework of the regulatory process for regenerative medicine products, the nation has shifted from a global drug development laggard to one of the most proactive countries on the planet aiming to safely expedite growth in the burgeoning, yet volatile, stem cell industry to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding aging population. The new laws are designed to promote innovation and could provide a clear channel to rapid commercialization that will benefit industry-leading companies like Cellular Dynamics International, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICEL), Athersys, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHX) and Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYTX).
