As the most common stem cell type being used within regenerative medicine, there is huge potential for growth within the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) market. Today, MSCs are the most common stem cell type being used within clinical trials, as well as the most studied stem cell type within the scientific literature. [Read more…]
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Review | Future of MSC Therapy
In this article, Dr. Daniel Kota provides a mesenchymal stem cell review and explores the future of MSC therapy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that prefer to differentiate into cells of the musculoskeletal system, such as bone, cartilage, muscle and fat cells. However, MSCs can also be induced to become other cell types, as well as exert therapeutic effects by honing to sites of repair and secreting therapeutic agents.

Role of Stem Cell Exosomes in Therapeutic, Diagnostic, and Drug Delivery Applications
I am honored to release this interview with Dr. Ramon Coronado, Executive Director at Lester Smith Medical Research Institute, who started working with exosomes while looking for mechanisms used by MSCs to exert their therapeutic effects. In this interview, we discuss the scientific importance of exosomes, therapeutic and diagnostic applications of exosomes, and their use within encapsulation/delivery systems.
Read on to learn how these extracellular vesicles could transform the future of modern medicine and explore their advantages and disadvantages as compared to cell therapeutics. [Read more…]
Cynata’s Cymerus™ Platform Technology – What is It, Exactly?
What is Cynata’s Cymerus™ Technology?
The Cymerus™ technology is a stem cell manufacturing platform being developed by Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: CYP), an Australian regenerative medicine company. The Cymerus™ technology utilizes induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) originating from an adult donor as the starting material for generating mesenchymoangioblasts (MCAs), and subsequently, for differentiating the cells into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
