Stem Cell "Dual Track": The Differences and Synergies Between IIT and IND
The "dual-track" regulatory model for stem cells provides a diversified pathway for stem cell research and application in China. IIT studies offer flexibility for early-stage exploration, while IND studies ensure rigorous safeguards for bringing drugs to market. Together, these approaches drive forward innovation and expand the potential for practical applications of stem cell technology. Looking ahead, as more stem-cell-based therapies gain approval and enter the market, this regulatory framework will continue to support the healthy growth of China's stem cell industry.
