  In this presentation the author first tries to provide a sketchy overview on the vogue of so-called "stem cell therapy", an unproven and unregulated therapy prevailing inland China and spilling out to other part of the world since early 21st century up to 2012.Secondly the author tries to provide a preliminary explanation of this social phenomenon with Chinese characteristics.Thirdly, the author discusses clinico-ethical and research ethical issues as well as policy and regulatory issues in the debate on "stem cell therapy" which may be helpful in the translation of stem cell research.Finally the author concludes with some lessons we could draw from the vogue.
