Your Global Leader in Stem Cell Market Research
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a well-characterized population of adult stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types (chondrocytes, osteoblasts, adipocytes, myocytes, and more).
As you start to learn about stem cells, one of the most common questions to have is, “What types of stem cells exist?” There is not an agreed-upon number of stem cell types, because one can classify stem cells either by differentiation potential (what they can turn into) or by origin (from where they are sourced).
This post is dedicated to explaining the five types of stem cells, based on differentiation potential. [Read more…]

Can stem cell treatments for arthritis bring relief to those suffering from the disease?
From the dawn of history to present day, the swelling and aching of joints rank as one of the most troublesome indicators of age. As connective tissue breaks down over time, the result is stiffening, pain and immobility. While some are luckier than others, few seem to escape it entirely – which is why stem cell treatment for arthritis is intriguing to so many. [Read more…]
Presently, MSC-based clinical trials are being conducted for a range of disease conditions, with many completed trials showing safety and efficacy. Clinical utility of MSCs is primarily attributed to their four key biological properties, which include: [Read more…]
