1. Opportunities in Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Products - Trends and Forecasts to 2017
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, which is
a stage reached four to five days post-fertilization. Human embryonic stem cells are the most pluripotent of all
stem cell types and can develop into over 200 different cell types of the human body.
Human embryonic stem cells were first derived from mouse embryos in 1981 by Martin Evans and Matthew
Kaufman, and independently by Gail R. Martin. In 1995, the first successful culturing of embryonic stem cells
from non-human primates occurred at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Another breakthrough followed
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in November 1998 when a group led by Dr. James Thomson
developed a technique to isolate and grow hESCs derived from human blastocysts. Federal funds to support
hESC research became available on August 9, 2001, when President Bush announced his decision regarding
federal funding for hESC research.
Because of their plasticity and unlimited capacity for self-renewal, hESCs have been proposed for use in wide
range of applications, including toxicology testing, tissue engineering, cellular therapies, and basic stem cell
biology research. Of particular interest to the medical community is the potential for use of hESCs to heal
tissues with naturally limited capacity for renewal, such as the human heart, liver and brain.
However, human embryonic stem cell research is heavily encumbered by patents held by the University of
Wisconsin's Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), which creates significant challenges for
companies seeking to develop new products.
This market research report explores the complex IP landscape affecting development of human embryonic
stem cell products, providing clear guidance for companies entering or already within the market, from
collaborating with WARF to less costly alternatives such as circumventing the claims, conducting research
off-shore, and developing embryonic stem cell products for other species.
Key Findings Include:
Trends for hESC Grants, Scientific Publications, and Patents Market Size Determination for the hESC
Product Market 5-Year Market Size Projections (2013-2017) Embryonic Stem Cell Patent Restrictions and
Strategies to Circumvent Claims Geographical Breakdown (Leading Countries Conducting hESC Research)
Breakdown of Embryonic Stem Cell Research, by Application and Species Competitive Analysis of hESC
Research Supply Vendors Overview of Specialty Pharma Companies Developing Embryonic Stem Cell
Therapies Overview of Toxicology Testing Legislation (impacting use of hESC in toxicology applications)
Crucial Trends and Unmet Market Needs
And Much More
In summary, this is a must-read industry report for biotech and pharma companies to optimally position
themselves to sell hESC products. To profit from this lucrative and rapidly expanding market, you need to
understand your key strengths relative to the competition, intelligently position your products to fill gaps in
the market place, and take advantage crucial hESC trends. Claim this report now to profit from this expanding
market or your competition will.
