Complete 2015-16 Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Industry Report
M2 - Tue Apr 21, 3:49AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jjxlkc/complete_201516) has announced the addition of the "Complete 2015-16 Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Industry Report" report to their offering. Stem cell research and experimentation have been in process for well over five decades, as stem cells have the unique ability to divide and replicate repeatedly. In addition, their unspecialized nature allows them to differentiate into a wide variety of specialized cell types. The possibilities arising from these characteristics have resulted in great commercial interest, with potential applications ranging from the use of stem cells in reversal and treatment of disease, to targeted cell therapy, tissue regeneration, pharmacological testing on cell-specific tissues, and more. Conditions such as Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries are examples of clinical applications in which stem cells could offer benefits in halting or even reversing damage. Traditionally, scientists have worked with both embryonic and adult stem cells for research tools, as well as for cellular therapy. While the appeal of embryonic cells has been their ability to differentiate into any type of cell, there has been significant ethical, moral, and spiritual controversy surrounding their use. Although some adult stem cells do have differentiation capacity, it is often limited in nature, which results in fewer options for use. Thus, induced pluripotent stem cells represent a promising combination of adult and embryonic stem cell characteristics. Key Topics Covered: 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2. PURPOSE OF REPORT 3.

Great Timing For Athersys, Other Stem Cell Companies Amidst Improving Regulatory Landscape
ACCESSWIRE - Mon Apr 13, 8:35AM CDT
WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2015 / The field of regenerative medicine holds great promise for developing new treatments for notoriously difficult-to-treat diseases and conditions where small molecules, immunotherapies and other disciplines still haven't been able to deliver a safe and efficacious impact. For instance, Athersys, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHX) is now less than two weeks away from top-line data from a Phase 2 international trial on patients suffering an ischemic stoke, an often devastating condition where there are no FDA-approved treatments beyond a four hour treatment window from time of occurrence. Mesoblast Ltd. (OTC: MBLTY)(ASX: MSB) has five product candidates based on specialized cells called mesenchymal lineage adult stem cells in, or ready for, late-stage trials targeting difficult conditions, including congestive heart failure. In a blitz of biotech deals in the waning days of March, stem cells hit the headlines with Fujifilm agreeing to acquire Cellular Dynamics International (NASDAQ: ICEL) for $307 million, a heavy 108% premium to the prior day's closing price of ICEL, to gain control of one of the aspiring leaders in the stem cell research business. This follows on the announcement in early March of the new Athersys-Chugai partnership.
