Limitations Associated With Use of Allografts and Autografts to Bring Orthobiologics at Forefront

Orthobiology is a branch of science that develops bone and tissue replacement materials for fasthealing and quick recovery of injured muscles, broken bones, ligaments and tendons. Orthobiologics is considered as a highly lucrative market owing to significant growth opportunities. One of the major driver for the growth of this industry is certain limitations that are associated with autografts and allografts. Although, autografts are considered as gold standard for orthopedic procedures but the usage of autograft involves donor site morbidity and an additional surgery. While, the major concerns associated with allografts is risk of disease transmission along with the decline in theiravailability. Therefore, in order to overcome these drawbacks of the autografts and allografts, bone graft substitutes are being preferred for use in orthopaedic surgery.
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), approximately 465,000 spinal surgeries were performed in the U.S in 2011. Of all the spinal fusion surgeries performed, 46% were for lumbar fusion, 42% were for cervical fusion and the remaining 13% were for thoracic or multi-level fusion procedures. This rise in number of spinal fusion surgeries has created the demand for bone graft substitutes and has consequently boosted the overall growth of this industry. In addition, rise in the incidence of arthritis, increase in geriatric population and increase in obesity rate has triggered the growth of this market. Technological advancements, growing demand for minimally invasive procedures and rising patient awareness are the other factors that has considerably augmented the growth of this market. The global orthobiologics market was valued at USD 3,754.6 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9%from 2013 to 2019 to reach at an estimated value of USD 5,519.9 million in 2019.
At present, viscosupplementation accounts for the largest share of the orthobiologics market. The growth in this market is attributed to growing popularity of knee treatments and its ability to act as an effective pain killer as compared to NSAIDS and others. This market is followed by bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) which is characterized by its ability to provide faster recovery, lesser pain and ability to stimulate patients own cells for regeneration. However, the market is expected to show a negative growth rateduring the forecast period due to decline in the sales of “INFUSE” a Medtronic product. Severe side effects associated with INFUSE due to its heavy off label usage led to recall of this product by the U.S FDA. Synthetic bone substitutes and stem cell based products are expected to witness a significant growth during the forecast period. The growth of these segments is witnessed due to reduced cost, quick recovery and eliminated risk of disease transmission.
Geographically, North America and Europe dominates the orthobiologics market. The dominance in these region is witnessed due to rise in incidence of arthritis and higher obesity rates that has surged the demand for minimally invasive procedures such as bone grafting and growth factor treatment. These treatments offer enhanced well-being and durability, with minimal side effects while eliminating the need for repeated hospital visits. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to show highest growth rate during the forecast period. The demand for orthobiologics in this region is witnessed due to increase in number of orthopedic disease due to change in lifestyle, change in diet which all lead to increasing obesity rate and consequently leads to arthritis and other bone disorders. Moreover, rise in geriatric population and increase in sports related injuries are other factors likely to drive the growth of orthobiologics in this region.
The major players engaged in the orthobiologics market include Medtronic, Inc., DePuySynthes, Wright Medical Technology, Inc., Stryker Corporation, Orthofix, Inc., NuVasive, Inc., and other significant players.

Hepatitis C Therapeutics Market Segment Forecast up to 2020

Hepatitis is defined as the inflammation of the liver due to an infection by a virus or other causative organism or toxin. Hepatitis C on the other hand, is primarily as a result of the infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV). With a cure rate between 50%-80%, and no commercially available vaccine as of yet, hepatitis C is considered a deadly disease with a moderate to high infection rate. It is the leading cause for liver transplantation in the U.K and North America.
The transmission of this virus in a majority occurs from injectables drug abuse, as the virus can only be transmitted via blood-to-blood contact. The secondary transmission factors include tattooing, sexual contact, healthcare (blood transfusion, organ transplant) mishaps, and other rare unknown cases. HIV infected individuals and AIDS patients too are at a higher risk of infection. The diagnosis of Hepatitis C is also very tricky as there lays a risk of misdiagnosis as the virus can go undetected in a liver biopsy sample. Liver enzyme levels may remain normal for an infected person for years, in some cases an infected person may go as long as 30 years without showing any symptoms of infection.
PCR amplification of purified and centrifuged biopsy samples done at specified time intervals are the best proven method for near accurate diagnosis.
This process is done so as to remove any errors caused as a result of false negatives by antibody immunoassay testing. However since PCR testing is quite expensive, initial screening is usually done via immunoassay method, in addition, immunoassay also determines the viral load and thereby help identify the stage of infection between acute and chronic. The acute stage of disease can generally be cured in majority of the cases, in some cases spontaneous curing has also been observed. Complete cure rate cannot be a possibility as Hepatitis C virus has various strains and is found to be mutative in nature. Chronic cases are seen in a majority of infected individuals and are also curable in some cases, but again among the majority, liver cirrhosis is observed, which may then require liver transplantation. Transplantation requires to be done with continuous medication, as chances of reinfection are very high. Therapy for Hepatitis C is not definitive but is generally done with a combination of medicines, namely pegylated-interferon-alpha and ribavirin, which is an antiviral. Other medications include boceprevir, ledipasvir, telaprevir, sofosbuvir and the novel simeprevir and sovaldi. These are either given as an addition to ribavirin or as a replacement, depending upon the condition, contraindication, genotype of virus and patient history.
At present the cost of the antiviral and interferon market remains the biggest hurdle for the proliferation of Hepatitis C therapeutics market. The prices vary from few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single dose. Insurances companies generally do not cover the complete cost of drugs in standard covers, often individuals who have very high premium are the only ones able to afford the treatment. The ongoing research into vaccination may also provide as a restraint in the future, as preventive vaccination has always shown greater success versus therapeutics.
The market for Hepatitis C therapeutics remains in billions, with new combinations being patented every year, and each having their own market segment. They are at present one of the most sought after investment segment in the healthcare drugs industry. With entry of Asian players the prices too are bound to decrease, thereby potentially increasing therapeutics market. The North American market is the highest market by volume, followed by Europe, as in these regions reported cases are high in number, and so is the affordability of drugs.
The major cause for Hepatitis C transmission in developed nations is intravenous narcotic/psychedelic drug abuse, which is common in these regions. In developing markets of Asia and South America, the leading cause for transmission is healthcare exposure and their poor standards. This along with their population size make for a large market, however unavailability of affordable drugs is often the reason why markets haven’t been proliferated as of yet. However the recent growth of market in Asia Pacific is a positive sign for potential manufacturers. The rest of the world also follows a similar pattern.

Gene Expression Reagents Market will Continue to Grow Strongly Through 2019

Gene expression is a process that results in the synthesis of a functional gene product with the help of the information coded on genes. These products usually are proteins with respect to coding genes but in case of non-coding genes such as tRNA (transfer RNA), or RNA (ribosomal RNA), the functional product is a functional RNA. The process of gene expression is significant in both prokaryotes (bacteria) and eukaryotes (multicellular organisms) in order to ensure the generation of macromoleular machinery for their life. Gene expression comprises transcription and translation processes. Transcription (DNA to RNA) refers to production of RNA copies of DNA with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase. While translation (RNA to protein) is a process that results in the synthesis of proteins based on the information on the coding genes (messenger RNA). There is a possibility of the alteration of several steps in gene expression process such as in RNA splicing, post-translational modification of proteins and others. Gene regulation is the basis for morphogenesis, cellular differentiation and versatility and renders cell control over structure and function of the genes.
Gene expression profiling refers to the process of measuring the activity (expression) of several genes at once in to understand the cellular functions. This analysis can facilitate scientists to identify the molecular basis of phenotypic differences and also enables selection of gene expression targets for the future research studies. The various analysis techniques employed for gene expression are SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression), Real Time PCR-based gene expression profiling, microarray analysis, transcriptome sequencing and others. Gene expression reagents are the chemicals used in gene expression studies performed to determine the gene expression patterns. Sample preparation and isolation kits, sample labeling and amplification kits, TaqMan Gene Expression assay kits, gene expression hybridization kits and others are some of the examples of the commercially available gene expression reagents kits. Confirmation of appropriate gene expression is essential in order to ensure normal functioning of genes and any deviation from the normal expression pattern might result in the development of some disorder either genetic or acquired. Also, regulation of faulty gene expression inhibits the production of faulty functional products. For example, in case of cancer patients, RNA silencing is employed that includes the silencing of the cancerous gene expression.
The market for gene expression reagents can be analyzed on the basis of the reagents used in gene expression profiling along with application areas and geography. The reagents can be further segmented into the reagents used in PCR, Microarray, SAGE and others. The application areas that can be covered are drug discovery and research, biomarkers identification, clinical diagnostics and others. Geographically the market can be analyzed on the basis of four major regions namely North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and RoW.

What are the major advances in the field of stem cells and their medical application?
In July 2016, a joint Dutch-Canadian research effort succeeded in discovering a viable method of increasing the amount of stem cells obtained from cord blood. Cord blood, which is blood from the placenta, contains a relatively small amount of stem cells per unit. The method formulated in the research allows researchers to increase the amount of stem cells obtained from cord blood, making this is a crucial advancement in the field of stem cell therapy.
The team discovered that mirR-125a, a microRNA, is responsible for the property of stem cells to self-renew. This genetic ‘switch’ remains activated in stem cells but is inactivated in the progenitor cells formed from the division of stem cells. Success in activating this switch would result in self-sustaining production of stem cells, which will be a major boost for the global stem cell therapy market.
In April this year, a research team at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, discovered the protein responsible for the growth and development of blood stem cells. The Musashi-2 protein could be the key to helping thousands of patients of various blood disorders, as understanding the ambit of the protein could allow researchers to increase the number of viable stem cells available for therapeutic use.
What are some of the major drivers for the stem cells market?
The key driver for the global stem cells market is the increasing government support across the world. As widespread incorporation of stem cell therapy allows a nation to significantly improve the overall healthcare scenario, countries in North America and Western Europe have provided solid support to stem cell research. The acceptance of stem cell therapy in emerging regions is still lagging behind due to the lack of advanced medical infrastructure to adopt stem cell therapy, but the steady improvement of the healthcare sector in countries such as India and China is likely to be a major growth driver for the global stem cells market.
The increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders is another major driver for the global demand for stem cells. Neural tissue can’t be regenerated or replaced as easily as structural tissues, and the ability of stem cells to develop into human cells provides the perfect avenue for treatment of neurodegenerative conditions.
