Description The work on human embryonic stem cells is being performed with a variety of cell lines using a variety of culture conditions; a situation that makes standardisation between projects and publications very difficult. Clearly the consequence of using such cells would be wasted time and resources but, more seriously, the generation of erroneous data in the literature which could both confuse and delay scientific progress in this area. This guidance document represents the outcome of the first meeting of the group named The International Stem Cell Banking Initiative held in October 2007. The document has been prepared from the perspective of hESC culture but, in many respects, is broadly applicable to all human stem cell lines including induced pluripotent stem cell lines.
