Autologous stem cells have been proven safe in anecdotal and clinical studies for years in many parts of the world...There needs to be a differentiation between chemically based and/or donor therapies from patient derived miminally manipulated cell therapies within the FDA. We need to lift the regulatory burdens that are unnecessary in autologous stem cell products. 2. All chemically based therapeutic compounds should first be tested on human cells preclinical, rather than immune suppressed animal testing, before use on live human patients. 1.
