Author:ANROSOFT_market survey report Company,market survey report services.( http://anrosoft.com )
Stem cells, a huge potential market opportunities, according to statistics, in 2001, the global application of stem cells there are about 330 million U.S. dollars market, 2004 has been 100 million U.S. dollars; in 2007 has been pushing two billion U.S. dollars, an average annual growth of 34% the rate of growth.
At present, the relevance of stem cell therapy products to a maximum of hematopoietic stem cells, which have the potential scope of application of products including: Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and liver-related diseases.
Hematopoietic stem cell therapy market matures, according to statistics, in 2001, the treatment of hematopoietic stem cell stem cells of the total market of 87% of the market, about 290 million U.S. dollars, in 2007 the number increased to 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, the annual average growth of 29.1 percent.
Treatment areas include: blood stem cells, bone marrow transplant, cord blood is blood and genetic diseases such as cancer treatment.
Unlimited potential of stem cell industry
The past, the slow progress in stem cell research one of the reasons why embryonic stem cells are the ethical controversy, but the situation has significantly improved in recent years in research and development has great progress, stem cell research and development on industrial applications in the project are:
1. Epidermal stem cells and anti-aging
Stem cells are one of the purposes of a very important anti-aging, human epidermal stem cells have the ability to regenerate, but in fact forms a large number of basal layer contains stem cells, but it will grow with age or external environmental factors, such as ultraviolet light, such as the impact of stem cells reduced, thinning or excessive wear and tear or loss of, or have a cause of aging fine lines.
If the consolidation of stem cell propagation environment in order to protect the integrity of the function of stem cells to be adversely affected by outside influence, to protect the stem cells, their proliferation will continue, will be able to update the skin regeneration and prevent aging.
In 2007, scientists developed a “Technology Protection epidermal stem cells,” Experimental results show that epidermal stem cells the ability to enhance the protection of 104 percent, effective against micro-irritant stress aging damage.
2. The use of stem cells in breast reconstruction
Japanese researchers at the 30th session in 2007, “San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium” report, with liposuction to obtain the stem cells, so that removal of breast lumps caused by defects in the female breast breast re-growth, successful not only clinical, but there is no current breast disadvantage of plastic, the future, women may even be used for autologous stem cell breast implants, is no longer used for a variety of high-risk method of artificial implants.
3. Kill “cancer stem cell” research and development of new drugs to treat cancer
Although many scientists have assumed that the cancer will not die, and will continue to split, and unlimited growth, but most will only split a certain number of cancer cells, then apoptosis. Stem cell hypothesis that cancer cells themselves may not die, because they rely on cancer stem cells are provided with adequate nutrition.
Cancer stem cells are a small and dangerous cells, will produce more tumor cells at the same time, carried out by separatist renewable. At present, most of the known biology of the standard medical therapy on cancer stem cells, simply at a loss.
4. The use of uterine amniotic fluid stem cells and nerve cells in the liver
Scientists at the United States in 2006, issued a so-called stem cells are a major breakthrough in medical papers, the success of
Use of human uterine fluid of liver stem cells and nerve cells.
Researchers are also using the same methods, the use of amniotic fluid stem cells, mouse uterus to produce nerve cells, implanted into the damaged mouse brain affected area, the reconstruction of the damaged part of their brain function, confirmed that such cells can be transplanted in a particular place of embryonic stem cells to become easier to obtain, and no moral controversial source of stem cells.
5. Stem cell therapy to enable stroke patients speak restore function
UK medical technology company developing a revolutionary stem cell law, the success of a restoration of the language ability of stroke patients, such as further tests proved to be effective, this therapy at 5 years, the fastest start possible use of the large number of patients with hemorrhagic stroke to new hope.
6. Autologous stem cell transplantation to cultivate tracheal
A tracheal damaged women, in November 2008 to complete the world’s first autologous stem cell transplant operations to cultivate, the successful resolution of the immune system of exclusion. Scientists claimed that the next 20 years, patients in autologous cell transplantation to produce the heart, lung and other organs, the treatment is expected to become widespread.
7. Succeed cultivate embryonic stem cells for artificial blood
Scientists In 2008, the first time, the success of embryonic stem cells to induce a large number of red blood cells into cells, this “artificial” blood not only for patients with blood group tailored, but also to achieve “zero-pathogenic” and aim to reduce blood transfusion infected with love Zi-, C-type hepatitis or library Jia disease (CJD) risk.
A test set of stem cell differentiation in the initial post to be stimulating protein, can generate 100 billion red blood cells are approximately 2 ~ 3 of the blood in vitro; However, with the present technology, only 65% could be the appearance of red blood cells cells.
Even if the controversial stem cell research continues to forge ahead continuously
The development of stem cells is subject to much ethical controversy, the regulatory and technical level are not yet ripe, therefore, in comparison to other biotech industry, the company’s development of stem cells is more difficult.
Into stem cell research in the field of research on, and constantly surprising research results have made, along with the development of biological information will help scientists predict differentiation of stem cells and understanding, but in the process of production, whether it is ethical controversy questions, or national regulations, is still facing many challenges.
Stem cell research has always been religious and human rights groups protested the questioning and, in particular, to obtain embryonic stem cells and reproduce, which makes adult stem cells more vulnerable to development, but there is no ethical controversy, and immune rejection problem, it will be an important direction for future development .
Human stem cell research is a new field of science, coupled with the controversy involved in across the religious, social, psychological and general multi-level, therefore, most of the attitude of most advanced countries tend to be conservative, in any way to prohibit the creation of human embryos for research, of course, including the creation of hybrid embryos.
In some Asian countries, such as: China, Korea for human stem cell research, compared with under the more liberal, non-banned people and animals to create hybrid embryos for research purposes. At present, apart from the United Kingdom, the only Australian in some cases to allow people and animals to create hybrid embryos for research purposes.
Human and animal hybrid embryos for stem cell research brings new hope?
People with the emergence of animal hybrid embryos for stem cell research brings new hope, but at the same time, with and to the ethical controversy is also bound to generate new, limiting stem cell research the future development. But the scientific research and ethical tug of war, should be at the community as a whole make a decision after weighing the pros and cons pros.
Stem cell therapy in clinical medicine feasible? The United States and other countries if the lifting of the stem cells of the legal and financial constraints, physicians can start Whether or not the use of stem cells to treat patients? At present, probably not, because there are many technical obstacles to be overcome.
Stem cells, the future direction of clinical trials – to the brain for the goal
UK renewable company neurons (ReNeuron) 2006 years, the first United States FDA for the application of stem cells in chronic stroke clinical trials, if the case will be successfully carried out immediately.
This latest treatment showed that stem cell therapy not only more and more the scope of its treatment have been expanded, with the objective of the brain is the next trend. Stem cell science will be injected into the brain or blood, we found that stem cells will be moved to the damaged parts, should be subject to damage cells release signals to attract.
The reason why the stem cells be able to move, probably because damaged cells are activated when the path and the path of embryonic development is similar to embryonic development, the stem cells is the key player, the R & D direction is Hwang Woo-suk stem cells after the incident, the latest R & D goal.
