A FEDERAL judge issued an order on Tuesday barring a Florida-based stem cell company from performing an unapproved procedure that blinded at least four patients.
The 16-page injunction from Judge Ursula Ungaro prevents US Stem Cell Clinic from selling a scientifically unproven procedure that uses patients' fat to create a stem cell treatment. The order spells out hefty financial fines if the company attempts to do so.
The order comes three weeks after the judge ruled against the company and in favour of the US Food and Drug Administration, which has ramped up its efforts in the past year to rein in the booming and lucrative stem cell industry.
