Diverse technologies have a surprising number of common threads, whether in the technologies themselves or in the clinical applications. For this reason, manufacturers need to consider that: 1. A technology platform can be the launchpad for products in clinically diverse areas. Case in point, cell therapy, which as a fundamental scientific discipline can have uses [...]
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 [...]
