Core Tip This review outlines the major scientific, regulatory, and manufacturing challenges that limit the clinical translation of stem cell-based advanced therapies. It highlights practical strategies - ranging from tumorigenicity assessment for induced pluripotent stem cells and good manufacturing practice-ready production of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes to artificial intelligence-driven process monitoring and digital-twin modeling - that can support safer, scalable, and more consistent development of stem cell and extracellular-vesicle therapeutics.
