Abstract

Proposals submitted to the FDA for MSC-based products are undergoing a rapid expansion that is characterized by increased variability in donor and tissue sources, manufacturing processes, proposed functional mechanisms, and characterization methods. Here we discuss the diversity in MSC-based clinical trial product proposals and highlight potential challenges for clinical translation.
