Abstract
BACKGROUND: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are expected to be useful for regenerative medicine for many diseases. Many researchers have focused on and enabled the generation of differentiated cells or tissue-like structures, including organoids, which help to ameliorate target diseases. To promote such cell therapies, we established a clinically applicable iPSC haplobank matching as many people as possible in Japan. METHODS: Through cooperation with several organizations, we recruited donors whose human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) involved in immunorejection were homozygous. The peripheral or umbilical cord blood collected from the donors was used for iPSC production by electroporation of episomal vectors. These iPSC lines were then subjected to testing, including genome analyses and sterility, to maximize safety. FINDINGS: We constructed a clinical-grade haplobank of 27 iPSC lines from 7 donors according to good manufacturing practice regulations. However, reasons to avoid using iPSC lines include the presence of residual episomal vectors or genetic mutations in cancer-related genes. CONCLUSIONS: This haplobank provides HLA-matched iPSC lines for approximately 40% of the Japanese population. Since the haplobank's release in 2015, these iPSC lines have been used in more than 10 clinical trials. The establishment of this haplobank is an important step toward the clinical application of iPSCs in cell therapies. FUNDING: This study was supported by a research center network for the realization of regenerative medicine of the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) under grant number JP20bm0104001h0108.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
