Abstract
Cells and tissues for transplantation constitute a specific class of health products with important therapeutic value, as they have in many cases no equivalent in restoring life-supporting or essential functions. There are many sources of regulations, rules, and guidance regarding the good tissue practices.Good manufacturing practice (GMP) quality, defined by both the European Medicines Agency and the Food andDrug Administration, is a requirement for clinical-grade cells, offering optimal defined quality and safety in cell transplantation.
