In a statement sent to Nature, reproductive biologist Shoukhrat Mitalipov at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, who pioneered spindle transfer in primates and is currently seeking approval to perform human trials, said that the strict US regulations are forcing researchers to move
trials into other countries.
Families travel to Mott from around the
country, and patients are referred to us from every
other pediatric oncology center in the state for second opinions, or for enrollment
into one of our many innovative experimental clinical
trials.
