Florida is one of five states that has green-lighted stem-cell use for conditions not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Inside a pristine laboratory at GBI Biomanufacturing in Plantation, stem-cell production ramps up, producing regenerative medicine with the potential to repair a torn rotator cuff, deep skin tear or an arthritic knee.
The escalation comes as the outlook for stem-cell therapies in Florida grows, driven by a new law that widens the path for doctors to use them to manage pain or treat orthopedic injuries and wounds.
