Posted on: Monday, 17 September 2007, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c68604) has announced the addition of "Market Analysis -- The Emergence of Stem Cell Research and Therapy" to their offering.

Stem cell therapy is fast emerging as a potentially revolutionary new way to treat disease and injury, with wide-ranging medical benefits. With an aim to repair damaged and diseased body parts with healthy new cells provided by stem cell transplants, stem cell therapy has drawn both appreciation as well as a lot of negative publicity. Stem cell therapy offers many an opportunity to treat many degenerative diseases caused by the premature death or malfunction of specific cell types and the body's failure to replace or restore them. This Market Analysis on The Emergence of Stem Cell Research & Therapy focuses on this highly controversial industry.

The report gives introductory information on stem cells, the history of stem cells, and the various types of stem cells, sources from which stem cells are derived, why stem cells are important and why there is a fierce debate over their use, amongst others. The report also analyzes the various types of stem cell research available, and the know-how of stem cell therapy, the benefits of stem cell research, potential therapies, how stem cell therapy can be used to treat diseases, etc.

A major section is dedicated to providing research on the various barriers facing this technology including moral, spiritual, and religious factors. The cost effectiveness of stem cell therapy and the availability of funding for stem cell research are also discussed in-depth in the report.

Perhaps the most important issue affecting this tremendously developing field is that of regulatory barriers. This report explores the various US laws affecting this industry, along with a comparison of US versus internal laws on stem cell research. The disadvantages that the US is presently facing and is likely to continue to face in the near future in terms of regulatory barriers has also been focuses on and developed in a highly competitive manner in the report.

An analysis of the major players in the industry in the US, and a detailed future outlook completes this comprehensive intelligence guide to a rapidly developing industry which is faced by more challenges than perhaps any other industry globally today. This "Market Analysis -- The Emergence of Stem Cell Research and Therapy" is the perfect solution to the know-how of this highly competitive industry.
