The ISSCR Launches Standards Initiative for Pluripotent Stem Cell Research
Universally accepted characterization standards for stem cell research are needed to improve the rigor and reproducibility of stem cell research. Standards set researchers up for success, ensure rigor in preclinical research, and ultimately strengthen the pipeline of therapies for patients. As the foremost international stem cell research society with a reputation for scientific and ethical rigor, the ISSCR is uniquely positioned to develop and propose research standards that can be widely adopted worldwide.
