How Many Embryonic Stem Cell Lines?

Jump to Comments

It’s anybody’s guess.

The National Institutes of Health held a special teleconference today outlining its draft guidelines for embryonic stem cell research. The guidelines are now open for public comment.

Among other things, the feds estimate there are hundreds of lines world wide. Until we know more, take the figure with a grain of salt.

Listen to a replay of the meeting by calling this number: 1-866-290-0880 and enter passcode 4086085.

You can find the draft guidelines here.
