The regeneration of pancreatic β-cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represents a promising therapeutic approach for restoring β-cell function in T1DM patients. However, ensuring the safety, functionality, and genetic stability of iPSC-derived β-cells is crucial for their clinical application. To address this challenge, a comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases to identify relevant studies published up to October 2025. It included an analysis of key regulatory documents from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency on Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (EMA ATMP), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This article proposes a comprehensive quality control (QC) strategy for differentiating iPSCs into pancreatic β-cells, emphasizing a tiered approach with multiple checkpoints throughout the process. The strategy integrates advanced molecular and functional assays to evaluate cell identity, viability, stability, and microbiological safety. The proposed QC framework allows for continuous monitoring, early detection of potential issues, and real-time adjustments to optimize the differentiation process. The flexibility of this approach ensures its adaptation to emerging scientific advancements and regulatory requirements.

Intraparenchymal (IP) transplantation, which delivers cells directly into injured spinal cord, is intended to improve local retention, survival, and integration. This review synthesizes early-phase clinical trials from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia, evaluating five major cell platforms: autologous olfactory-ensheathing-cells (OECs), fetal-derived neural stem cells (HuCNS-SC), embryonic stem cell derived oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPC1), fetal spinal cord derived neural progenitor cells (NSI-566), and autologous Schwann cells (ahSCs). IP delivery demonstrates convergent early-phase safety, with no recurrent cell-related severe toxicity, tumor formation, or progressive neurological deterioration attributable to the delivery platform. Functional outcomes remain heterogeneous and modest. Large, reproducible neurological recovery has not been observed, although some studies report limited sensory improvements, isolated motor gains, or electrophysiologic evidence of conduction across or below the injury.
