$LAHO ..$20 billion in mergers and acquisitions in the cell and gene therapy space, or regenerative medicine, that year, according to the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine.

..The U.S. approval of three regenerative medicines — Novartis AG's Kymriah, Gilead Sciences Inc.'s Yescarta and Spark Therapeutics Inc.'s Luxturna — in 2017 may have inspired that round of dealmaking.

..The U.S. Food and Drug Administration also noted the influx of cell and gene therapies, with Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicting that by 2020, the agency will receive more than 200 investigational new drug applications per year. Gottlieb added in his Jan. 15 statement that the FDA has "more than 800 active cell-based or directly administered gene therapy INDs on file."

..Stem cells are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods. Unlike muscle cells, blood cells, or nerve cells—which do not normally replicate themselves—stem cells may replicate many times, or proliferate. A starting population of stem cells that proliferates for many months in the laboratory can yield millions of cells. If the resulting cells continue to be unspecialized, like the parent stem cells, the cells are said to be capable of long-term self-renewal.
