Are there any restrictions on the use of lines listed on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry?
The “see details” link on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry includes information on two categories of possible use restrictions: Provider Restrictions and NIH Restrictions. Provider Restrictions include things such as experiments that are prohibited with the cell line, or requirements that proposed research be approved by an ESCRO or other type of ethical review committee. NIH Restrictions are imposed on the use of a line based on the usage of the cells as agreed to by the donors in their informed consent process.
