Texas' proposed adult stem cell regulations under fire.

The Houston Chronicle (4/9, Ackerman) reports, "Texas' proposed adult stem-cell regulations, up for approval this week, are under fire for circumventing the Food and Drug Administration and making the experimental therapy commercially available before it's been proven safe and effective." The Houston Chronicle explains that "the criticism of the Texas Medical Board draft policy...is coming from a host of pre-eminent scientists and institutions, including the influential scientific journal Nature and the International Society for Stem Cell Research."
