Internationaliser des standards, mettre en banque avec confiance: la mise en banque de cellules souches dans trois systèmes nationaux
This article discusses the international movement of human embryonic stem cell lines through stem cell banks. We report a three year study of the UK and Spanish Stem Cell Banks, and a study of the supply chain of stem cell lines in India. Our article focuses upon the role of trust in stem cell banking work: (i) decision making about the ethical correctness of accepting a human embryonic stem cell line into the bank, (ii) sharing information about the technical issues of culturing cells in a high specification laboratory, and (iii) the movement of stem cells across national boundaries.
