The number of companies with approved products and measurable revenues in the field of cell therapy and tissue engineering has exceeded the expectation of many (though not all) in the industry. Markets such as cell/tissue are often characterized by overestimated evaluations of commercial potential and underestimated consideration of the actual challenges. Indeed many technology challenges [...]
Tissue engineering involves taking either autologous, allogeneic or xenogeneic cells and redirecting those cells to carry out fundamental processes. Often the researcher will use a biomaterial matrix and seed the cells into this matrix. The redirection may take the form of stimulating the cells to become stem cells or precursor cells, or it may mean [...]
Publishing a new report in December 2009: Tissue Engineering, Cell Therapy and Transplantation: Tissue Engineering, Cell Therapy and Transplantation: Products, Technologies & Market Opportunities, Worldwide, 2009-2018. This report examines the status of technologies, applications and markets for tissue engineering, cell therapy and tissue/cell transplantation. The report reviews therapeutic tissue engineering, tissue reconstruction, cell therapies, tissue/organ [...]
The skin is our protection from the environment. The skin is a complex organ, providing protection against chemical, biological and physical insult, keeping organs and tissues in their place, and regulating various secretions including sweat (to control temperature), and pheromones (to act as sexual attractants). It is constantly renewed and maintained. Injuries to the skin [...]

The global market for wound management includes many products that fall into more than one category. For simplicity sake, however, product-based revenues can be assembled into categories including fabric dressings, first aid dressings, dressings and internal wound management products for surgery, advanced wound management products, active pharmaceutical wound care products, tissue engineering, physical therapies for [...]
While this is separately a White Paper that I wrote and periodically re-write to reflect new stuff being developed (or progressing in that development), it is worthwhile to occasionally revisit the list of technologies that have real promise, especially if that promise is getting closer to reality, or only if the demand is simply getting [...]
