ISSCR Standards for Human Stem Cell Use in Research
Recently, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) released the Standards for Human Stem Cell Use in Research, a document that outlines a set of recommendations that establish the minimum characterization and reporting criteria for working with human stem cells. These five tenets of responsible research practices can be used to shape the future of human stem cell research, leading to higher quality results and more standardized practices.

Request Now >Interview with the Standards Committee
In anticipation of the ISSCR Standards’ publication, the Stem Cell Podcast hosted Drs. Tenneille Ludwig, Peter Andrews, and Madeline Lancaster—three members of the Standards Committee. They discussed the need for basic and preclinical standards to ensure rigor and reproducibility in stem cell research, giving rise to the Standards as we know them today.
