Why is it important?

Stem cells have been heralded as cutting-edge and with significant clinical potential. However, the market is still young. This paper provides numbers quantifying the growth of the overall stem cell industry, as well as the significant investment ($23B) that has gone into research and development. This paper provides an overall layout for the field as a whole, and is relevant for researchers, clinicians, and investors.

Perspectives

At surface value, this paper is structured like a traditional equity research report and may be dry to read. However, I believe the information provided is incredibly relevant. In particular, finding the $ investment into stem cell companies, and the overall growth of the market are highly significant metrics that help shed light into the stem cell industry.
