Dynamic governance: A new era for consent for stem cell research.

ABSTRACT: Governance infrastructures streamline scientific and ethical provenance verification of human pluripotent stem cell (SC) lines. Yet, scientific developments (e.g., SC-derived embryo models, organoids) challenge research governance approaches to stored biospecimens, questioning the validity of informed consent (IC) models. Likewise, e-health platforms are driving major transformations in data processing, prompting a reappraisal of IC. Given these developments, participatory research platforms are identified as effective tools to promote longitudinal engagement, interactive decision-making, and dynamic governance. Learning from European initiatives piloting dynamic IC for biobanking and SC research, this Perspective explores the benefits and challenges of implementing dynamic IC and governan
