Headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel, Gamida Cell is best known for its innovative approaches to hematopoietic stem cell therapeutics. Although a small company at the time, Gamida Cell broke onto the global scene in 2003 when it announced a Phase I trial of its StemEx™ product for the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma patients.
StemEx™ was Gamida Cell’s first generation product for theex vivo (“outside the body”) expansion of cord blood stem cells, which can be utilized in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat high risk cancers. Although StemEx™ did not make it beyond Phase II/III trials, this expertise in ex vivo expansion of cord blood lead to the development of Gamida Cell’s current flagship product, NiCord®, and established Gamida Cell as a global technology leader for functional expansion of cells.

In an incredible finding, a search of the PubMed database for scientific publications containing the term “mesenchymal stem cell” or “mesenchymal stem cells” now returns nearly 30,000 results – 28,597 to be exact. (PubMed search of terms “mesenchymal stem cell” and “mesenchymal stem cells” executed July 15, 2016.)
Additionally, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) scientific publications have increased in number EVERY year since 1992. That is 26 years in a row.
If those numbers haven’t shocked you, then this will” 17,804 of those MSC articles were released in the last 5 years (62%). Meaning, two-thirds of all MSC publications were published in the past 5 years, even though MSCs were discovered by Friedenstein and colleagues in 1976. [Read more…]
