A reproductive science perspective: deliberations on the stem cell guidelines update
Year: 2022
Type: editorial
Abstract: One of the core aims of ESHRE and other Societies, such as the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is the advancement of scientific understanding of treatments and cures that improve human reproductive health. In May 2021, the ISSCR released updated guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation (Research ISfSC, 2021). The new guidelines state what can or could be done, as opposed to what should not be done, with human pluripotent stem cells, regarding their research uses and translational applications (summarized in Section 2, Recommendation 2.2 of the guidelines). These guidelines address a new status quo in stem cell research, which confirms that scientific discoveries outpace regulatory control. What only a few years ago may have been dubbed ‘science fiction’ now appears well within reach, especially in the field of reproduction. Human pluripotent stem cells are central to in vitro-generated gametes, chimeras of stem...
