Research details developments in the demand for Opportunities in Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Products ­ Trends and Forecasts to 2017 "The Report Opportunities in Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Products ­ Trends and Forecasts to 2017 provides information on pricing, market analysis, shares, forecast, and company profiles for key industry participants. ­ MarketResearchReports.biz" Stem cells are primitive cells found in all multi­cellular organisms that are characterized by self­renewal and the capacity to differentiate into any mature cell type. Categorized by stage of life, several broad categories of stem cells exist, including: • • • • •

Embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts Post­natal stem cells, derived from newborn tissues Adult stem cells, found in adult tissues – including hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells, and more Induced pluripotent stem cells, reprogrammed from adult cells Cancer stem cells, which give rise to clonal populations of cells that form tumors or disperse in the body

View Report At :http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/174817 Embryonic stem cells are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, which is a stage reached four to five days post­fertilization. They are the most pluripotent of all stem cell types and can develop into over 200 different cell types of the human body. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were first derived from mouse embryos in 1981 by Martin Evans and Matthew Kaufman, and independently by Gail R. Martin. In 1995, the first successful culturing of embryonic stem cells from non­human primates occurred at the University of Wisconsin­Madison. Another breakthrough followed at the University of Wisconsin­Madison in November 1998 when a group led by Dr. James Thomson developed a technique to isolate and grow hESCs derived from human blastocysts. As such, embryonic stem cells are still a relatively new discovery, as the first mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were derived from embryos in 1981, but it was not until 1995 that the first successful culturing of embryonic stem cells from non­human primates occurred and not until November 1998 that a technique was developed to isolate and grow embryonic stem cells from human blastocysts.
