Stem cells are specialized cells that can differentiate into other cells without losing their
identity. They have been found to be present in animals as well as humans and most of the
work has been done on mice. Investigators have found that stem cells are part of repair
system and helps in maintaining the normal bodily functions. They divide to give rise to
two cells out of which one remains the same while other differentiates into the required
cell type. They can replenish throughout the life-time and they could repair damaged
organs in order to prevent further damage. They are also influenced by external cues due
to which they could be converted into different cell type. It is expected that investigators
would be able to make new discoveries that would allow them to assign new properties to
stem cells. More research is required in this segment to fully understand the properties of
stem cells.
Investigators are trying to decipher stem cells biochemical and biophysical properties so
that they could develop them as a therapeutic commodity. Their ability to convert into
different cell types could be used for developing regenerative medicines. Organ
regeneration at laboratory levels have been achieved but it will take some time for
developing fully functional transplantable organ. Investigators have found they could be
used for various oncological applications. Modified stem cells could be used for curing
cancer and some success has been achieved in past years. Their utility in cardiovascular
diseases has been noted as they have ability to regenerate damaged cardiac muscles. In
neural disorders like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease their role is being studied
as presently available therapeutics have modest efficacy with short-lived effects.
Innovations in pharmaceutical industry seem to be the main driving force for the
development of stem cell therapies. Investigators have been able to identify different
stem cell sources which offers them large base for developing new therapies. Their
customizability and appropriate usage is expected to help them to discover new
pharmacological properties that may have high commercialization potential. As a result,
large numbers of stem cell therapies are entering in clinical trials across the globe. They
are at different stages of development and likely to be introduced in global market in
coming years. This will help the stem cell therapy developers to generate significant
revenues in coming years. However, this scenario may take few years to materialize but
some stem cell therapies have already entered in market which are in clinical practice for
past years.
As per recent research report "Global Stem Cell Therapy Market Future Outlook " published
by KuicK Research, advancement in stem cell research seems to be increasing continuously
across the globe which is apparent from the number of increasing clinical trials. Stem cell
therapies for numerous indications are at different stages of clinical trials and they would
be introduced in market in coming years. Increased findings and quest for better
therapeutics could be considered as main reason behind growth of this segment. Improved
technology and development of innovative modalities are further expected to propel the
development of stem cell therapies. Only few stem cell therapies have received approval
and most of them are small part of forth coming medical revolution. Stem cell therapy
developers would be able to generate significant revenues in coming years. In this way,
future prospects of stem cell therapies look optimistic and it is expected that more stem
cell therapies would be commercialized in coming years.
