Since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in 2006, a large and thriving research products market has emerged, largely because the cells are non-controversial and can be generated directly from adult cells. It is clear that iPSCs represent a lucrative market segment, because methods for commercializing this cell type are expanding every year and clinical studies investigating iPSCs are swelling in number.

Burgeoning Number of iPSC Therapies To Be Tested in Clinical Trials
Therapeutic applications of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have surged in recent years. Since the creation of human iPSCs in 2007, it took only seven years for the first iPSC-derived cell product to be transplanted into a human patient in 2014. From 2014 to present, additional trials and physician-led studies employing human iPSC-derived cell types have been initiated across multiple geographies worldwide. [Read more…]
