Over the few decades, potential applications for stem cells have expanded to include their use as:
- Research tools
- Cell therapies
- Source materials for 3D printing and 3D weaving
- Drug target validation
- Toxicology screening
- And More
Your Global Leader in Stem Cell Market Research
Do you know the top 10 cities for stem cell searches on Google? It is an interesting question, because Google searches reflect individual interest in the topic. Furthermore, geographical data reflects hotspots where user interest is the greatest. Together, this data reflects important market dynamics within particular geographical areas.
In the analysis below, Google search data from 2004 to present is presented. This search was executed September 6, 2015, using the Google Trends tool. See the chart and map below to learn the top ten cities where users are searching online for topics about stem cells. The numbers shown represent search volumes relative to the highest search level identified, which is always 100. [Read more…]
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, adipocytes, and potentially other cell types. For years, it has been clear that MSCs are a leading type of stem cell being investigated for therapeutic applications, because they have the potential to treat a wide range of acute and degenerative diseases.
In addition to secreting factors that can stimulate tissue repair, MSCs can substantially alter their microenvironment, exerting effects that are both anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic. MSCs are also advantageous over other stem cells types, because they avoid the ethical issues that surround embryonic stem cell research and appear to be immuno-privileged.
Importantly, MSCs also well-suited for use in the exponential growth area of 3D printing, because of their unusual capacity to form structural tissues. [Read more…]

PRESS RELEASE; Washington, DC; November 21, 2015 — BioInformant, the only market research firm to exclusively serve the stem cell sector, announces the release of its global strategic report, “Mesenchymal Stem Cells – Advances and Applications.” Published November 2015, it presents 250 pages of coverage for the rapidly-evolving mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) industry.
Called the “most innovative market research firm in the world,” BioInformant tracks MSC industry metrics using continuously maintained dashboards combined with systems to trigger alerts when data exhibits unexpected variation.
A unique attribute of BioInformant is that its management team comes from a BioInformatics background – the science of collecting and analyzing complex biological data. BioInformant is the only known research firm to apply these data analysis techniques to the field of market research. This is important, because 2015 saw the first “thaw and use” ink to make MSCs readily available for 3D printing (RoosterBio and CELLINK), a novel manufacturing approach to produce a nearly unlimited supply of MSCs from iPSCs derived from a single donor (Cynata Therapeutics), and the recommendation for approval of a MSC product in Japan (JR-031 developed by Mesoblast’s Japanese partner, JCR Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd). It is clear that the scope of the MSC industry is expanding and advanced analytics are required.
The report describes the current status of MSC research, the ongoing clinical trials involving MSCs, late stage MSC clinical trials, and possible uses of MSCs in cell therapy. Because MSCs are a sub-segment of the broader cell therapy (CT) and regenerative medicine (RM) markets, it also gives an overview of the regenerative medicine industry and overall cell therapy industry.
Importantly, BioInformant is always innovating. It tracks traditional market metrics, which include trend rate data for MSC clinical trials, scientific publications, grants, patents, product launches, new market entrants, acquisitions, and industry deal-making. However, it also tracks recently discovered social analytics, which are metrics derived from social media sites, search engines, online advertising platforms, and more. It is the only known research firm to take this duel-approach to market analysis.
Founded in 2006 in Washington, DC, BioInformant is distinctively suited to tracking the MSC industry, because it has been following the industry for a decade, providing a robust database of historical data.
BioInformant research has been cited on prominent news outlets that include the Wall Street Journal, Nature Biotechnology, CBS News, Medical Ethics, the Center for BioNetworking, and more. BioInformant also serves notable clients across the stem cell spectrum, with Fortune 500 companies on its client list that include GE Healthcare, Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, Beckton Dickinson, and many more.
