| Description: | The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), along with the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences, is hosting a Washington, DC-based workshop and live webcast examining the practice and consequences of unproven stem cell treatments on November 18, 2013 from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. EDT. The workshop is free, and registration is open to the public. Stem cells hold tremendous potential to advance health and medicine, but, to date, only a few clinical applications have been reviewed for safety and efficacy and received regulatory approval. However, clinics have been established throughout the world offering "stem cell therapies" for a wide range of diseases and conditions. Often promoted as established and effective, and sometimes provided at great expense, these treatments have not generally received stringent regulatory oversight, nor have they been tested through rigorous trials to determine safety and likely benefit, and claims remain largely unsubstantiated by medical science. |
