As you know, regenerative medicine and cell therapies represent the next generation of groundbreaking treatments that are showing great promise in cardiology, neurology, oncology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and—most recently—COVID-19. Thousands of clinical trials are now underway, including more than 70 that are exploring the use of cell therapies—including MSCs—for seriously ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19. To get things done, it is mandatory to be informed of current and future public policy initiatives, especially in the age of the pandemic. The familiar pathways of product approval and funding are rapidly changing to address the current crisis.
