National Institutes of Health Guidelines
for Human Stem Cell Research
SUMMARY: The National Institutes of
Health (NIH) is requesting public
comment on a revision to the definition
of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)
in the ‘‘National Institutes of Health
Guidelines for Human Stem Cell
Research’’ (Guidelines).
On July 7, 2009, NIH issued
Guidelines (https://
edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E915954.pdf) to implement Executive
Order 13505, as it pertains to NIHfunded stem cell research, to establish
policy and procedures under which the
NIH will fund such research, and help
ensure that NIH-funded research in this
area is ethically responsible,
scientifically worthy, and conducted in
accordance with applicable law.
In Section II of the final Guidelines,
hESCs are defined as: ‘‘For the purpose
of these Guidelines, ‘human embryonic
stem cells (hESCs)’ are cells that are
derived from the inner cell mass of
blastocyst stage human embryos, are
capable of dividing without
differentiating for a prolonged period in
culture, and are known to develop into
cells and tissues of the three primary
germ layers.’’
This definition had the unintended
consequence of excluding certain hESCs
which may otherwise be appropriate for
Federal funding. For example, the
current definition excludes hESCs from
an embryo which fails to develop to the
blastocyst stage.
Therefore, the NIH proposes replacing
the current definition of hESCs in
Section II with the following: ‘‘For the
purpose of these Guidelines, ‘human
embryonic stem cells (hESCs)’ are
pluripotent cells that are derived from
