The Stem Cell Matrix: a map of the molecular pathways that define pluripotent cells
Ensuring the safety of cell therapy: a quality control pipeline for cell purification and validation
Public Summary: 
Human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell lines are being generated at a rapid pace and now number in the thousands. We propose a standard nomenclature and suggest the use of a centralized database for all cell line names and a minimum set of information for reporting new derivations.
