Three doctoral candidates from Stanford University have jointly exposed the "stem cell black market" in the United States to the public media. Their goal is to minimize the harm caused by unregulated stem cell therapies. They are Karen M. Wai, MD, Theodore Leng, MD, MS, and Jeffrey Goldberg, MD, PhD, all from the Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, California.
In fact, I believe that the United States has long ceased to be the powerhouse it was during and after the Reagan presidency. Therefore, I think there is no significant difference between the United States and China in terms of public health safety, such as the proliferation of rogue stem cell clinics.

Chinese scientists have discovered that the activation of endogenous viral elements in the human genome is a key factor in inducing cellular and organ aging. They cultured and screened millions of human cells, validating dozens of previously undiscovered genes that promote cellular aging from over 20,000 human genes. Through repeated screening, they ultimately identified a novel human pro-aging gene named KAT7. Experiments confirmed that partially inactivating this gene in the livers of elderly mice allowed 81% of the mice to live beyond 130 weeks, which is approximately equivalent to 80 years in human age.
