FUJIFILM Biosciences, a global life sciences company, along with NextCell Pharma AB, a cell therapy company, released a new global product together. It includes FUJIFILM’s PRIME-XV MSC Expansion XSFM media and NextCell’s NextCell-Cord RUO, a research-use-only product made from umbilical cord cells.
MSC research can be hard because the cells are not always the same, may not match the immune system, and are hard to make. NextCell-Cord RUO gives researchers a more consistent and easier-to-use source of cells. With FUJIFILM’s media, it provides a high-quality solution for research in immunology, regenerative medicine, and cell therapy.
NextCell-Cord RUO is now available worldwide through FUJIFILM Biosciences, either on its own or bundled with the media, growth factors, and reagents.
According to Coherent Market Insights, the Cell Therapy Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2026 to 2033. Currently, the market is at USD 3,109.6 Mn in 2026 and is expected to be around USD 5,983.1 Mn by 2033. The global cell therapy market is rapidly expanding as advancements in regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, as well as genetic engineering drive innovation. Researchers and companies are developing therapies such as CAR-T cells, stem cells, TCR therapies, etc., to treat oncology, rare diseases, and autoimmune disorders.
"FUJIFILM Biosciences is committed to paving a better way forward with life science products, services, and solutions that serve the evolving needs of our academia, biotech, and pharmaceutical partners worldwide," said Brandon Pence, president and chief operations officer at FUJIFILM Biosciences.
