Turner and colleagues recently argued that countries with unclear laws and regulations regarding stem cells, exosomes, and other regenerative medicine products should develop and enforce more comprehensive regulatory structures. We fully agree with this opinion and discuss that failure to do so may lead to troubling predicaments, such as the Japanese cases, where patients are at risk of serious complications or even death.
特纳及其同事最近认为,对于干细胞、外泌体和其他再生医学产品的法律法规不明确的国家,应制定并执行更全面的监管结构。我们完全同意这一观点,并讨论了不这样做可能导致的麻烦困境,例如日本的案例,患者有发生严重并发症甚至死亡的风险。
