Understand Stem Cell Market Needs, so You Can Precisely Meet Them – with Minimal Time, Cost, and Risk
As a provider of stem cell products and technologies, you know you need to:
- Make effective product development decisions
- Sell more effectively
- Generate improved revenues
- Take market share
Without strategic guidance on which to base your actions, you’re in a difficult position. New products that don’t sell well are costly mistakes. On the other hand, repeatedly launching high-demand products and skillfully addressing the unmet needs of your clients is certain to position you as a market leader.

Capitalizing on Mesenchymal Stem Cell Applications – Market Size, Segments, & Trends
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, adipocytes, beta-pancreatic islets cells, and potentially, other cell types. MSCs are of intense therapeutic interest because they represent a population of cells with the potential to treat a wide range of acute and degenerative diseases.
MSCs are advantageous over other stem cells types for a variety of reasons: they avoid the ethical issues that surround embryonic stem cell research, and repeated studies have found MSCs to be immuno-privileged, which make them an advantageous cell type for allogenic transplantation. MSCs reduce both the risks of rejection and complications of transplantation. Recently, there have been advances in the use of autologous mesenchymal stem cells to regenerate human tissues, including cartilage, meniscus, tendons, bone fractures, and more. [Read more…]
Launching June 2016 – Strategic Development of Neural Stem and Progenitor Cell Products
Neurogenesis is the process by which neurons are created. This process is most active during pre-natal development when neurogenesis is responsible for populating the growing brain.
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are the self-renewing, multipotent cells that differentiate into the main phenotypes of the nervous system. These cell types include neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are the progeny of stem cell division that normally undergo a limited number of replication cycles in vivo.

Why I Respectfully Disagree with Other Market Intelligence Reports about Cord Blood Banking
Recently, I’ve seen posts on LinkedIn and the web for a cord blood market report titled “Global Cord Blood Banking Services (Stem Cell) Market, Size, Share, Trends, Forecast, Global Analysis, Research, Report, Segmentation, and Future Demand, 2012 – 2020.”
I rarely reflect on products by other companies, but this report is disturbing in that it is painfully inaccurate.
As global business expert Joe Polish likes to say, “The most expensive information is bad information,” and this is a case of that situation.
In the Executive Summary, a highlight of the main findings for this report, Allied Market Research states that the “Cord blood market is expected to grow at 33.5% CAGR from 2012-2020.”
