A new and highly capitalized market player has boldly declared its debut as a developer of allogeneic, off-the-shelf iPCS-derived cell therapeutics. GC Therapeutics (GCTx) has officially launched, bringing with it a revolutionary approach to cell therapy that aims to overcome current challenges in scalability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness that have traditionally hindered the development of iPSC-derived therapies. With the debut of its innovative TFome™ platform, GCTx is positioned to scale the full potential of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based therapies. [Read more…]
Dominance of Cellular Dynamics International (CDI) within iPSC Marketplace
Cellular Dynamics International (CDI), a FUJIFILM company, is the largest provider of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) products worldwide. iPSCs are a type of laboratory made stem cell that has significant potential for use within regenerative medicine.
In theory, iPSCs have the potential to treat a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, heart diseases, autoimmune diseases, neural decline and more. iPSCs are also being widely implemented for use in drug development and discovery, as well as toxicology screening and personalized medicine.
