The Deriving Induced Stem Cells Using Stored Specimens (DISCUSS) project is a consensus‐building initiative designed to consider how human somatic cells obtained under general biomedical research protocols can be used in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derivation. This report presents a revised list of points to consider for the use of previously collected specimens in iPSC research, as well as a summary of published feedback of the previous version.
