Balancing Safety and Progress in Stem Cell Research and Therapy. The figure illustrates the importance of finding the correct balance between lenient and rigorous modes of regulations in order to achieve both safety and progress in stem cell therapies. It indicates that higher focus on lenient regulations enhance the progress in stem cell research and therapy, while more rigorous regulations improve safety of such therapies. Also, it shows the role that global regulatory convergence can play in reinforcing the move towards safe and efficient development of stem cell therapies.
