The International Stem Cell Registry (ISCR) is a freely accessible, continuously updated, searchable database for the stem cell research community. The most comprehensive database on human embryonic (hESC) and induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cell lines, the ISCR currently provides published and validated unpublished information for over 1,200 cell lines from over 20 countries. The ISCR also includes a literature database of over 1,600 citations that are searchable by cell line name and keywords in the abstract.
