Code of Practice for the Use of Human Stem Cell Lines
The Code of Practice for the Use of Human Stem Cell Lines
provides guidance on best practice for those working with stem cell
lines. It provides detailed information on how the Steering
Committee provides ethical oversight of UK research involving human
embryonic stem cells. The Code should provide confidence and
reassurance to professionals and public alike that stem cell
research in the UK is conducted within a transparent and ethical
framework. The main emphasis of the Code is on human
embryonic stem cell lines, but references to stem cell lines
derived from other human tissue are included.
