Regulatory Challenges in Stem Cell Research
The current regulatory landscape in the United States presents significant challenges for stem cell therapies, resulting in the need for Americans to seek treatments abroad. This situation stems from the conservative nature of the FDA and the rigorous process required for therapeutic approval, which has left the U.S. behind other countries regarding accessibility to stem cell treatments. Despite decades of experience with stem cells, including established practices like bone marrow transplantation, the regulatory hurdles prevent widespread therapy availability. The potential therapeutic benefits of stem cells are substantial, and there is a growing belief that the advantages outweigh the perceived risks of long-term safety.
