Stem cell banking has been a topic of discussion and debate for more than a decade since the first public services to supply human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were established in the USA and the UK. This topic has received a recent revival with numerous ambitious programmes announced to deliver large collections of human induced pluripotency cell (hiPSC) lines. This chapter will provide a brief overview charting the development of stem cell banks, their value, and their likely role in the future.
自美国和英国建立首批提供人类胚胎干细胞（hESCs）的公共服务以来，干细胞库一直是一个讨论和辩论的话题，至今已有十多年。随着众多雄心勃勃的计划宣布要建立大量人类诱导多能干细胞（hiPSC）系，这个话题最近又重新兴起。本章将简要概述干细胞库的发展、它们的价值以及它们在未来可能发挥的作用。
