"Unproven stem cell interventions: A global public health problem requiring global deliberation." <i>Stem Cell Reports,</i> 16, no. 6 (2021) Cell Press: 1435-1445. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.stemcr.2021.05.004.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/114546The unproven stem cell intervention (SCI) industry is a global health problem. Despite efforts of some nations, the industry continues to flourish. In this paper, we call for a global approach and the establishment of a World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Advisory Committee on Regenerative Medicine to tackle this issue and provide guidance. The WHO committee can harmonize national regulations; promote regulatory approaches responsive to unmet patient needs; and formulate an education campaign against misinformation. Fostering an international dialog and developing recommendations that can be adopted by member states would effectively address the global market of unproven SCIs.1-s2-0-S2213671121002551-main
