Abstract
The Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Registry established a database of clinical studies using human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) as starting material for cell therapies. Since 2018, we have observed a switch toward human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from human embryonic stem cells. However, rather than using iPSCs for personalized medicines, allogeneic approaches dominate. Most treatments target ophthalmopathies, and genetically modified iPSCs are used to generate tailored cells. We observe a lack of standardization and transparency about the PSCs lines used, characterization of the PSC-derived cells, and the preclinical models and assays applied to show efficacy and safety.
