ViaCyte, a regenerative medicine company based in San Diego, recently raised $45 million in Series E funding. Investors included Adage Capital Partners, Invus Group, Asymmetry Ventures, Artis Ventures, Bain Capital Sciences, and TPG Capital.
ViaCyte is working on delivering novel stem cell-derived cell replacement therapies as a cure for Type 1 diabetes as well as a next-generation treatment for insulin-requiring Type 2 diabetes.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “Regenerative medicine is focused on developing and applying new treatments to heal tissues and organs and restore function lost due to aging, disease, damage or defects.”
The regenerative medicine market is booming. This is due to several factors, including the growing rate of genetic disorders and chronic diseases, major technological advances in the field, and greater company investment. The global market in regenerative medicine is expected to reach $17.9 billion by 2025, according to Markets and Markets. That is up from $8.5 billion last year. This $11 billion jump shows that the regenerative medicine market is hot and only getting hotter.
