(PRWEB) October 27, 2003 --Annual market growth rates over 30% will prevail despite challenges in the development of tissue engineered products for treatment of degenerative disorders, trauma and injury. According to a new report from MedMarket Diligence, huge opportunities remain available for tissue engineering in a wide variety of clinical segments including diabetes, liver disease, organ reconstitution, kidney failure, urology, neurology (including acute traumatic damage and chronic disorders), cardiology, vascular reconstruction, musculoskeletal, skin disorders, chronic wounds and cosmetic surgical reconstruction.

In a market where roughly $4.5 billion has been invested, the opportunity for additional investment has been challenged," says Patrick Driscoll, President of MedMarket Diligence, yet new financing has nonetheless happened for companies like Geron, Osiris Therapeutics, BresaGen, ViaCell, NeuralStem, NeuroNova, Aastrom Biosciences, Layton Bioscience, MorphoGen Pharmaceuticals and StemCells." The reason for this, says Driscoll, is that approved skin and musculoskeletal applications are demonstrating market success, and many more clinical applications will be commercially realized in the next few years.
