Stem Cell treatment will soon be tested on eight residents of Tatarstan, a Russian republic on the Volga River for “liver and blood vessel problems”.

“The experiment will be conducted before the end of the year,” Anas Gilmanov, the first deputy health minister of Tatarstan.

He added that stem cell therapy was a priority for Tartarstan’s health ministry and that the republic’s budget would earmark 1 million rubles ($34,700) for the project.

Alexei Sozinov, the head of the ethics committee for the republic’s health ministry, said only the republic’s Stem Cell Bank was licensed to use the new cell technologies, but under strict control.
