New Mesenchymal Stem Cell Population from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Displays Potent Immunomodulatory and Therapeutic Properties
Business Wire - Mon Mar 24, 3:55PM CDT
Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. ("ACT"; OTCBB: ACTC), a leader in the field of regenerative medicine, and its collaborators reported today that it has discovered a new method to generate a potent and replenishable population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from pluripotent stem cells. The research appears online ahead of print in Stem Cell and Development, one of the top stem cells journals, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. This new and proprietary population of pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs displays potent immunomodulatory and therapeutic properties and has a greater than 30,000 fold proliferative capacity, relative to ordinary bone marrow-derived MSCs, the most commonly used source for MSCs in clinical trials. The paper is available free online at http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/scd.2013.0554.

Concise Analysis of the United States Regenerative Medicine Market - Forecasts to 2016
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.

Increase in prevalence rate of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, blood disease, immune disease, metabolic disease etc. has increased the need of cost effective and efficient way of treatment. However, cord blood stem cells have the potential to treat these chronic diseases effectively. These stem cells have special property of higher cell count in lower blood volume. Collection of these stem cells is much easier than other stem cells and could be stored in specialized preservation facilities called as Cord Blood Stem Cell Banks.Cord blood stem cells market is in its emerging phase. Significant applications of stem cells in the treatment of various disorders will be commercialized very soon as most of them are in the last phase of clinical trials. Patents for collection techniques and therapeutics methods are approved by respective government of developed countries however patents for UCB stem cells are comparatively less in developing economies. According to lead analyst Debbie Shields, the geographic analysis shows that the North American market for cord blood stem cell would account for approx. 44% of total revenue generated by the cord blood market in 2013. However, much expected growth is to occur in Asia-Pacific regions during the forecast period, because of growing demand for chronic disease treatments and widely increasing awareness levels.
