Patientsa Attitudes toward the Donation of Biological Materials for the Derivation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Although academics have raised ethical issues with iPSCs, patientsa perspectives on them and their attitudes toward donating biological materials for iPSC research are unclear. Here, we provide such information to aid in developing policies for consent, collection, and use of biological materials fo...

Description
Summary:Although academics have raised ethical issues with iPSCs, patientsa perspectives on them and their attitudes toward donating biological materials for iPSC research are unclear. Here, we provide such information to aid in developing policies for consent, collection, and use of biological materials for deriving iPSCs based on patient focus groups.
