1005 ET - Regenerative stem cell-based therapies are poised for a breakthrough as the potential for approvals looks set to thrive in a more favorable regulatory environment, says Maxim Group's Jason McCarthy in a research note. The analyst says such therapies came onto the scene in the mid-2010s and contracted shortly afterwards, but can now step back into the limelight. McCarthy notes that two companies that have benefited from recent changes are Mesoblast and Capricor Therapeutics, with valuations of both rising significantly this year. He adds that RFK Jr., Trump's pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, seems enthusiastic about stem cell research despite criticizing vaccines and fluoride.
