Timing the Stem Cell Opportunity
Executive Summary
Companies are drawing parallels between the monoclonal antibody industry and stem cells, and they are trying to strike a balance between gaining a stake in a field with tremendous potential without being too early. Stem cells have the potential to treat some of the largest degenerative diseases in the cardiovascular, neurological, orthopedic segments--markets worth in the double digit billions, according to a recent report on Tissue Engineering, issued by Medtech Insight. No company wants to be left behind.

Multiple Paths of Convergence in Tissue Engineering
A collaboration within Carnegie Mellon is using ink-jet printing technology to create spatial patterns of growth factors, and in turn using them to influence the development of stem cells in vitro. The technology could provide a better means of harnessing the power of growth factor biology in regenerative medicine. The team is also using it to begin to develop rudimentary artificial bone-tendon-muscle constructs for eventual clinical use.
