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…]
Cord blood market segmentation is one of the most important (and least appreciated) parts of analyzing the cord blood banking industry. As the first and only market research firm to track the stem cell industry, BioInformant has collected over 16 years of historical information on the cord blood industry from 2006 to present. This provides a powerful record if past industry dynamics, as well as a robust platform for making future projections. [Read more…]
Cell therapy manufacturing is becoming of growing importance as more and more cell therapeutics make their way through clinical trials. One of the major issues with moving cell therapy products from “bench to bedside” has been manufacturing bottlenecks. The heterogeneous nature of cell therapy products has introduced manufacturing complexity and regulatory concerns, as well as scale-up complexities that are not present within traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing.
While these realities may sound like negative factors for the industry, the reality is quite the opposite. For cell therapy CDMOs, these factors create pressures for cell therapy companies to seek third-party partners who possess technical, manufacturing, and regulatory expertise in cell therapy development and manufacturing.

Over the past few years, the regulatory landscape for cell therapy development has grown increasingly complex. There are now accelerated pathways for advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) in several countries worldwide, including the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. While the possibility for accelerated commercialization has resulted from these changes, substantial complexity has also been introduced, making it a more elaborate process to move cell therapy products from “bench to bedside.”
In the interview with Yaron Ramati, Director of Regulatory Affairs at Pluristem Therapeutics, we get an expert’s perspective on how the regulatory environment has changed and new opportunities that exist for bringing cell therapy products through the clinical trial process and into the global marketplace.
