The ISSCR is a vocal and active opponent of the premature marketing and commercialization of stem cell therapies that have not been tested in rigorous clinical trials. The Society has released guidelines to help researchers and regulators navigate the translation of cellular therapies. The ISSCR’s public information website is aimed at helping patients, families, and the science-interested public learn about stem cells, better understand the current state of research, and make informed decisions about stem cell treatments.
