Research resources for regenerative medicine laboratories

This page collects resources that stem cell and regenerative-medicine researchers commonly draw on – cell-line registries, reporting standards, databases and reagent sources. It is maintained as a general orientation for the field and is not an endorsement of any particular provider.

Cell lines, registries and banks

• hPSCreg – the human pluripotent stem cell registry, with standardised cell-line information.
• UK National Stem Cell Network – coordination across UK stem cell research; see also our press releases for research highlights.
• ISSCR – international standards and guidelines for stem cell research and clinical translation.

Standards, protocols and literature

• Nature Protocols – peer-reviewed laboratory methods.
• PubMed – the primary biomedical literature database.

Reagents: growth factors, antibodies and peptides

Differentiation and culture protocols depend on defined reagents – recombinant growth factors, validated antibodies, and signalling peptides. When sourcing peptide reagents for research, sequence verification and purity matter most; suppliers of research-grade peptides typically provide analytical data (HPLC and mass-spec) for each batch. See our note on signalling peptides in stem cell research for the scientific background.
