Current State of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research: An Overview of Cell Lines and Their Use in Experimental Work

Research in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is a rapidly developing scientific field. In this study we collect and evaluate a thorough body of data on the current number of publicly disclosed hESC lines and the extent and impact of scientific work involving the use of these cells. These data cont...

Description
Summary:Research in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is a rapidly developing scientific field. In this study we collect and evaluate a thorough body of data on the current number of publicly disclosed hESC lines and the extent and impact of scientific work involving the use of these cells. These data contribute to the substantiation of the discussion on the current status of hESC research, provide a basis for the analysis of the status of such research, and uncover further needs in terms of registration, banking, standardization, and tracing.
