Standards for Human Stem Cell Use in Research
PDF Versions of Standards for Human Stem Cell Use in Research
This document identifies quality standards and outlines basic core principles for the laboratory use of both tissue and pluripotent human stem cells and the in vitro model systems that rely on them. Overall, the emphasis of this document is creating a set of recommendations that, when taken together, establish the minimum characterization and reporting criteria for scientists, students, and technicians in basic research laboratories working with human stem cells.
