The National Institutes of Health's human embryonic stem cell registry, which listed 71 cell lines eligible for federally-funded research, was "misleading" and "useless," a senior NIH official admits. Jim Battey, head of the NIH stem cell task force and director of NIH's Institute for Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), told The Scientist that including those 71 cell lines in the registry "probably was misleading" to the scientific community because it meant they were available for researchers when, in fact, only a fraction of that number were ready for shipment.
