    An earlier version of this article stated that in his appearance on Le Iene, "[Mauro] Ferrari said he thought Stamina offered Italy the opportunity to take a world lead in bringing experimental therapies into the clinic." Ferrari's statement however did not explicitly refer to Stamina's approach as being what offered such an opportunity. The article has also been revised to include Ferrari's clarification of his statement regarding the Stamina case being "the first important case for regenerative medicine here in Italy".
