Is "US drug regulators" referring to "FDA"?
Context:
Stem-cell regeneration
A Japanese team will start the first clinical trials using induced pluripotent stem cells this year — but don’t expect results anytime soon. And biotechnology firm Advanced Cell Technology in Santa Monica, California, says that it will release data from two trials using human embryonic stem cells — the only two to gain approval from US drug regulators. These two studies involve injecting stem-cell-derived retinal cells into the eyes of around 30 people with one of two forms of non-treatable degenerative blindness.Top answer
NL888 Is "US drug regulators" referring to "FDA" That could very well be, but it's also possible that organizations other than the FDA also have some responsibility for regulating drugs, so I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the author is referring directly to and only to the FDA. CJ
