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
Alzheimers disease and Parkinsons 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.

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.
