In cartilage regeneration, stem cells have the potential for multiple differentiation and self-replication, making them an ideal choice for use as seed cells. The growing regenerative medicine industry and increasing demand for stem cells in the development of various types of cell therapies are expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. Mesenchymal stem cells are the most widely applied stem cells in the field of cartilage regeneration. Furthermore, adult stem cells have the potential to differentiate into cartilage, bone, fat or soft tissue. Stem cell-based therapy has become a key focus in the functional replacement of cartilage regeneration. Adult stem cells can be extracted by minimally invasive methods from fat tissue and bone marrow. Fat-derived stem cells exhibit an enhanced ability to differentiate into cartilage and are found in higher numbers than bone marrow.
Market Dynamics
Increasing research and development activities is expected to drive the market over the forecast period for instance, in August 2020, data was published in the Stanford Medicine journal, according to that, researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered a way to regenerate, in mice and human tissue, the cushion of cartilage found in joints. The Stanford researchers figured out how to regrow articular cartilage by first causing slight injury to the joint tissue, then using chemical signals to steer the growth of skeletal stem cells as the injuries heal.
