Stem cell therapy has been widely investigated across the world. Stem cells are mainly used to replace dying cells and reconstruct damaged tissues. Based on the results of extensive stem cell research conducted so far, many scientists have claimed that these cells could probably be utilized to generate cures and treatments for diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Newly developed stem cell therapies involve replacing disease-causing cells with stem cells. Many potential treatments involving stem cells are in different phases of clinical trials. The FDA has also approved a few stem cell therapies involved in treating complications related to stem cell transplants. In September 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced approval for "Ruxolitinib" for treating "graft-versus-host-disease" (GVHD) in patients aged 12 and above. Ruxolitinib provides a patient new hope that suffers from fatal complications associated with stem cell transplants.
Researchers are further investigating the use of stem cell therapy in treating autoimmune disorders. For example, stem cells can turn into the cells of damaged organs and are used in treating autoimmune diseases. Treatment is carried out using mesenchymal stem cells or fetal stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are currently used for treating more than 80 medicals conditions, including immune system diseases, blood disorders, neurological disorders, metabolic disorders, genetic disorders, and cancer types such as leukemia and lymphoma.
North America Stem Cell Therapy Market Overview
The North America stem cell therapy market has been segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US held the largest share of the North American stem cell therapy market in 2021. Growing awareness regarding the utilization of stem cells for disease treatment, favorable reimbursement policies for stem cell therapy research & development activities, increasing emphasis on stem cell banking, and the major presence of the key players in this market are among the factors are projected to accelerate the stem cell therapy market growth.
In Canada, the market is expected to grow owing to the development of the healthcare systems and rapidly increasing investments in stem cell therapy technology.
