: Derivation of the MasterShef-3, -4, -7, -8, -10 and -11 cell lines was performed in the Stem Cell Derivation Facility at the Centre for Stem Cell Biology, University of Sheffield, under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) licence R0115-8-A (Centre 0191) and Human Tissue Authority (HTA) licence 22510, in a clean room setting, following strict standard operating procedures. All experiments were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. The embryos used to derive MasterShef-3, -4, -7, 10 (frozen embryos) and MasterShef-8 and -11 (fresh embryos) were donated from different assisted conception units, following fully informed consent, with no financial benefit to the donors, and were surplus or unsuitable for their IVF treatment.
