Highlights
Small and medium-sized research-led companies dominate the stem cells landscape, with a few large pharmaceutical companies beginning to invest in recent years. This sector is highly heterogeneous, consisting of different Stem cells technology platforms, including embryonic and adult stem cells, applied in a wide range of therapy areas.

Geron’s recent divestment in the sector highlights the several technical challenges associated with the application of stem cells in certain therapy areas, in particular, the central nervous system.

Pipeline snapshotAlthough bone marrow stem cell transplant has been routinely used for over 4 decades to treat hematological malignancies, the potential of stem cells to regenerate or replace highly specialized damaged or lost tissues in serious degenerative disorders or debilitating diseases, such as myocardial infarction, spinal cord injuries, ischemic stroke, macular degeneration, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis, has yet to be realized. Key limitations that still need to be addressed include successful delivery, differentiation, engraftment, integration, vascularization, functionality, and long-term safety of the transplanted cells. In view of this, several companies are currently exploiting more easily achievable goals, using a more drug-like approach that utilizes stem cells to alter physiological conditions within the damaged tissue and that indirectly promotes repair and regulates inflammatory and immunomodulatory pathways.
