Abstract  Several debates have been raised over the use of stem cells in the field of regenerative medicine. Indeed, stem cell transplantation must follow strict rules. However, to date, many differences exist among different Western and Eastern European countries. This brief review summarizes the state-of-the-art stem cell regulation in Italy, European Union, and Ukraine.
