Governing stem cell therapy in India: regulatory vacuum or jurisdictional ambiguity? (2014)
Journal Article
Tiwari, S. S., & Raman, S. (2014). Governing stem cell therapy in India: regulatory vacuum or jurisdictional ambiguity?. New Genetics and Society, 33(4), https://doi.org/10.1080/14636778.2014.970269

Stem cell treatments are being offered in Indian clinics although preclinical evidence of their efficacy and safety is lacking. This is attributed to a governance vacuum created by the lack of legally binding research guidelines. By contrast, this pa...
