The value of the Cell Line Development market is projected to grow to with an estimated CAGR of 5 % by
The global cell line development market is estimated to reach USD 10,838.5 million by the end of 2028. The increased in demand for monoclonal antibodies is considered as one of the major driving factors which promotes the growth of the market. In addition, rise in vaccine production across the world is the another factor which assist in driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, technological advancement accelerating the scaleup the cell lines further synergies the growth of the market. However, the high cost of the process is the major restraining cause that affects the growth of the market. Ongoing risk of pandemic and communicable diseases followed by demand from low income countries will become the huge opportunities during the forecasted year.
Primary cell lines are not fast dividing and have finite lifespan i.e. Hayflick limit. In addition, when these cells reach confluence (i.e. monolayer), the cell stops dividing or proliferating. This phenomenon is termed as Contact inhibition of proliferation (CIP). When the normal cells are transformed into cancer cells, these cells lose the property of contact inhibition. The cells keep on dividing and forms multi-layer mass of cells. The cells do not respond to the growth inhibitory signals and apoptosis. For cancer development, both genetic and epigenetic factors are needed. There are different approaches to the transformation process. Three of them are listed are use of oncovirus infection, embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells, telomerase lengthening activation (TLA)
Oncoviruses are those viruses whose infection cause the development of cancer. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and have a long lifespan until they differentiate. These cells are often used to generate infinite cell lines. In addition, the adult cells/ differentiated cells such as skin cells can also be reverted to Embryonic stem cells by induced pluripotent stem cells method. Telomerase restoration allows several types of somatic cells to stabilize telomeres. It would bypass senescence and make the cells immortal by defining telomere maintenance, telomerase activity, and cellular immortalization. This method may or may not cause neoplastic transformation.
The Covid 19 pandemic first entered in 2019 and later it disrupted society at the global level. The doctor is giving the first preference to COVID patients and emergency patients followed by the others. There is an urgent need for vaccines in order to save the maximum number of patients suffering from COVID 19. Whole world gone under strong research and development in order to clear all the clinical trials associated with the development of vaccines. Refrigerator or freezer plays a very important role in the transportation of vaccines. The COVID 19 pandemic made a positive impact on the medical refrigerator business.
