The UK Stem Cell Bank is a UK Research Council-funded initiative that aims to provide ethically sourced and quality controlled stocks of cells for researchers and also establish seed stocks of cell lines for clinical trials. Whilst the Bank is prohibited from carrying out basic stem cell research (to avoid conflicts of interest) it is working to improve stem cell banking procedures including cryopreservation, characterization and quality control. The Bank also supports training activities and has provided the hub for the International Stem Cell Initiative, which includes 17 expert stem cell centers aiming to characterize a large number of human embryonic stem cell lines in a standardized way to improve our understanding of the characteristics of these cells.
英国干细胞库是一项由英国研究理事会资助的计划，旨在为研究人员提供符合伦理规范且经过质量控制的细胞储备，并为临床试验建立细胞系种子库。虽然该库被禁止开展基础干细胞研究（以避免利益冲突），但它正在努力改进干细胞库的操作流程，包括冷冻保存、特性鉴定和质量控制。该库还支持培训活动，并为国际干细胞倡议组织提供了核心支持，该组织包括17个专业干细胞中心，旨在以标准化方式鉴定大量人类胚胎干细胞系，以增进我们对这些细胞特性的了解。
