AI in stem cell therapy provides significant benefits to healthcare such as determining the bioefficacy, functionality, viability, and biosafety of stem cells and further the selection of appropriate patients.
For instance, in flow cytometry, AI algorithms analyze large datasets of cell populations more efficiently than traditional methods. These algorithms accurately sort and identify specific cell types. For instance,
As per a published report on February 03, 2023, a research team from Toyohashi University of Technology’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Electronics, developed a machine-learning (ML) model that accurately detects isolated cells. The ML model identifies single cells in microscopic images easing the human burden of finding out single cell.
Increasing R&D processes in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are expected to fuel the cell isolation market. Increasing development in tissue engineering or regenerative medicines, due to the rise in chronic diseases worldwide is expected to accelerate the use of cell isolation technology.
Furthermore, rising government funding for cell-based research and the rising number of patients suffering from infectious diseases is fueling the market. For instance,
In April 2022, Levitas Bio, Inc., launched the LeviCell EOS System, their next-generation platform for cell separation, sample processing, and characterization. The new product enables a targeted selection of viable cells and has a relatively higher throughput than the company's existing products.
Rising concerns of safety & ethical issues are expected to hinder the market growth. The isolation of embryonic stem cells involves the destruction of embryos. This raises the concern of the destruction of human life, as some consider the embryo a potential human being. The embryonic stem cells form teratomas, which are tumors containing cells from three germ layers.
Lack of technically skilled technicians is expected to restrain the market. If the transplantation of embryonic stem cells to the patient is done without proper screening causes harm and forms tumors in the patient. Thus, these factors are anticipated to hamper the market.
Rising investments in the development and adoption of advanced technologies such as flow cytometry, microfluidics, and magnetic cell separation are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of cell isolation processes and makes the technology affordable and accessible in the market.
