Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products; Establishment Registration and Listing

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule to require human cells, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based product establishments to register with the agency and list their human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products. FDA is also amending the registration and listing regulations that currently apply to human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products regulated as drugs, devices, and/or biological products. These actions are being taken to establish a unified registration and listing program for human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products.
