I think a major paradigm shift is going to be led by those companies that have good balance sheets, although there are very few of those currently in this space. It will also be led by companies that have partners with viable business models. Pluristem has a great partner in United Therapeutics Corp. (UTHR:NASDAQ). Mesoblast has Teva. Athersys has Pfizer. And in all cases, the business models of cells in a bottle, like pills in a bottle, are going to look attractive to big pharma.
