MSCs are essential raw materials for many regenerative medicine products, including cell-based therapies, engineered tissues, cosmeceutical preparations, exosome products, and cultured meat. As of today, ClinicalTrials.gov lists at least 2,232 registered clinical trials involving MSCs, targeting a variety of indications ranging from graft vs. host disease (GvHD) to macular degeneration to osteoarthritis. Although ten MSC-based therapeutics have been approved for marketing in other parts of the world, the U.S. FDA is yet to approve an MSC product. Nonetheless, given their therapeutic potential for treating many indications and usage across a variety of applications, researchers believe that MSCs will support many important regenerative medicine advances.
