Mesenchymal Stem Cells/Medicinal Signaling Cells (MSCs) – GlobeNewswire

Dublin, Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Mesenchymal Stem Cells / Medicinal Signaling Cells (MSCs) - Advances & Applications, 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

MSCs are multipotent cells that have been referred to as mesenchymal stem cells, medicinal signaling cells, and mesenchymal stromal cells, reflecting their versatility and diverse applications. MSCs can differentiate into a variety of cell types, such as osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes. Their unique ability to secrete factors that promote tissue repair and modulate their microenvironment with anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects makes them essential in regenerative medicine. Furthermore, their immuno-evasive properties make MSCs particularly suitable for allogenic transplantation.

MSCs serve as vital raw materials across numerous industries, including regenerative medicine, cosmeceuticals, and cultured meat production.

Key applications include:

Specifically, the Republic of Korea has approved five products: Queencell from Anterogen, Cellgram AMI from Pharmicell, Cupistem from Anterogen, Cartistem from Medipost, and NeuroNataR from Corestem. Japan has approved two products: Temcell HS from JCR Pharmaceuticals and Stemirac from Nipro Corporation.

The EMA in Europe has approved two products: Holoclar from Chiesi Farmaceutici and Alofisel from TiGenix/Takeda. India has approved one product: Stempeucel from Stempeutics. Iran has approved one product: MesestroCell developed by Cell Tech Pharmed. Finally, Australia has approved one product: Remestemcel-L from Mesoblast.

Despite this progress, no MSC-based therapeutic have yet received U.S. FDA approval, although the FDA is actively reviewing Mesoblast's Remestemcel-L.

The cosmeceutical market is also rapidly adopting MSC-derived products, particularly exosomes, to leverage their anti-aging and regenerative properties, with companies like L'Oreal and Johnson & Johnson investing heavily in this space. Similarly, cultured meat companies are utilizing MSCs for producing muscle and fat cells, enhancing taste and texture. Groundbreaking approvals, such as lab-grown chicken by Upside Foods and Good Meat, have paved the way for further growth in this industry.

MSC-based gene editing is expanding, enabling the overexpression of antitumor genes and therapeutic factors. Researchers are also exploring the use of MSCs in 3D printing and engineered organ production, with breakthroughs anticipated in the next decade.

Importantly, companies like Cynata Therapeutics are pioneering iPSC-derived MSC production technologies, enabling large-scale therapeutic development. Today there are at least eight companies who are involved with the development of iPSC-derived MSCs therapeutics (iMSCs), including Cynata Therapeutics, Eterna Therapeutics, Implant Therapeutics, Bone Therapeutics, Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics, Fujifilm CDI, Citius Pharmaceuticals, and Kiji Therapeutics.

There are also over 1,670 clinical trials involving MSCs are registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Nearly 75% of these clinical studies are using MSCs for the development of regenerative medicine (RM) products. Approximately 14% of the studies are using MSCs for disease modeling. The remaining 11% of the studies are using MSCs for drug discovery and cytotoxicity testing applications.

Challenges in these trials include maintaining MSC phenotype and functionality during expansion. However, ongoing advancements suggest a promising future, with projections for at least 50 globally approved MSC-based products by 2040, averaging 3-4 new approvals annually.

Key Players in MSC Research Products

The demand for MSC-based research products has surged in recent years, with major suppliers expanding their portfolios. Companies like RoosterBio have increased the access to quality MSCs through supply chain industrialization, standardized cell bank product forms, and fit-for-purpose cGMP-compatible cells and media systems.

Other leading MSC research product suppliers include PromoCell, Lonza, Thermo Fisher Scientific, STEMCELL Technologies, Miltenyi Biotec, Bio-Techne (R&D Systems), ScienCell Research Laboratories, and the ATCC.

Challenges and Opportunities

While MSC commercialization faces hurdles-such as scalability and regulatory approval-opportunities abound. The market for MSC-based products is poised for notable growth across the research, therapeutic, cosmetic, and food industries. Within this rapidly changing landscape, having a thorough understanding of the competition is essential.
