Cord Blood Banking – Present and Future Outlook
Cord blood banking is defined as the collection and storage of stem cells present within the umbilical cord blood of a newborn for future medical use. Umbilical cord blood is rich in a type of stem cell known as a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC). A large market for the storage of these cells has come into existence over the past 30 years, with public and private cord blood banks now present in all major healthcare markets worldwide.

CAR-T Cell Therapeutics: A Multi-Billion Dollar Market
CAR-T is a promising type of immunotherapy where doctors collect immune cells, modify them in a laboratory, and provide them the capacity to recognize and kill cancer cells. When infused into a patient, the cells get multiplied and stay in the body as “living drugs.”
Since the approval of the first CAR-T cell therapeutic in 2017, widespread research, proliferating clinical trials, aggressive M&A activity, and lucrative IPOs have created a robust CAR-T cell market. [Read more…]

Editas Medicine Presents Preclinical Data on Novel Engineered iPSC-derived NK Cells
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 12, 2021 — Editas Medicine, Inc. (Nasdaq: EDIT), a genome editing company, announced preclinical data on its progress in the development of novel engineered induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived natural killer cells (iNKs) for the treatment of cancer. In the presentation, the Company showed a new method to achieve high-levels of expression of CD16 and Interleukin-15 (IL-15) in iNK cells by using the Company’s proprietary CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated SLEEK (SeLection by Essential-gene Exon Knock-in) technology to simultaneously knock-in both functional genes. The modifications resulted in improved serial tumor killing and dramatically increased NK cell persistence. [Read more…]
