The following is a list of steps in successful cell-based treatments that scientists will have to learn to control to bring such treatments to the clinic, To be useful for transplant purposes, stem cells must be reproducibly made to:
- Proliferate extensively and generate sufficient quantities of cells for making tissue
- Differentiate into the desire cell type
- Survive in the recipient after transplant
- Integrate into the surrounding tissue after transplant
- Function appropriately for the duration of the recipient's life
- Avoid harming the recipient in any way
