Market Overview

Stem cells are a special type of cells that have two significant properties. They are able to make more cells similar to themselves. That is, they self-renew. And they can become other cells that do different things in a process known as differentiation. Stem cells are found in approximately all tissues of the body. They are needed for the protection of tissue as well as for repair after injury. Depending on where the stem cells are, they can develop into different tissues. For example, hematopoietic stem cells reside in the bone marrow and can make all the cells that function in the blood. Stem cells also can become brain cells, heart muscle cells, bone cells, or other cell types.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate regenerative medicine products, including stem cell products and exosome products. There is a lot of disingenuous information on the internet about these products, including statements about the conditions they can be used to treat. FDA is worried that many patients seeking cures and remedies may be misled by information about products that are illegally marketed, have not been shown to be safe or effective, and, in some cases, may have important safety issues that put patients at risk. FDA wants to help consumers be informed about how these products are regulated, and what to look for when allowing for treatment with one of these products.

For instance, In September 2024, Cellino Biotech received $25 million in funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The funding will support Cellino’s Next-Generation Biomanufacturing Ultra-Scalable Approach (NEBULA) project, an initiative to develop cassette-based biomanufacturing technology for developing personalized regenerative medicines.
