Mesenchymal Stem Cells - Advances and Applications, 2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including but not limited to osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes. 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 advantageous over other stem cells types for a variety of reasons, including that they are immuno-privileged, making them an advantageous cell type for allogenic transplantation. MSCs appear to be an exceptionally promising tool for cell therapy, because of their unusual advantages, which include availability, expandability, transplantability, and ethical implications. Interest in therapeutic applications of human MSCs arises from their diverse ability to differentiate into a range of cell types, as well as their ability to migrate to sites of tissue injury/inflammation or tumor growth.
Naturally, a broad range of research products have been developed around MSCs and their differentiated cell types. Growing attention is also being given to manufacturing technologies to support commercial-scale production of MSCs. MSCs are well-suited for use in the exponential growth field of 3D printing, because of their capacity to form structural tissues. Numerous market competitors are exploring commercialization strategies for MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and exosomes, because these extracellular “packages” represent a novel strategy for accessing the therapeutic effects of stem cells without the risks of administering whole cells to patients. Finally, gene editing of MSCs for overexpressing antitumor genes or therapeutic factors is broadening their application.
As the most common stem cell type being used within regenerative medicine today, there is huge potential for growth within the MSC market. There are more than one-hundred thousand scientific publications published about MSCs, as well over 1,100 MSC clinical trials underway worldwide. Current “hotspots” for MSC clinical trials include the U.S., E.U., China, Middle East, and South Korea. While many early-stage MSC trials have demonstrated safety and efficacy, only a small number of MSC products have reached commercialization, indicating that the therapeutic market for MSCs remains early-stage. Population aging and an increasing prevalence of chronic disease are also driving interest in MSC-based therapies. Furthermore, Google Trend data reveals that MSC searches are more than twice as common as the next most common stem cell type. The demand for both MSCs and MSC-based research products have surged in recent years.
Today, nearly one-hundred different market competitors are developing various types of MSC-related products and services, therapies, and manufacturing technologies. Within this ever-changing landscape, having a thorough understanding of the competition and their relative strengths and weaknesses is essential.
