Global tendencies in regulations and development of iPSC-based treatments. The figure illustrates the regulatory trends and advancements in iPSC-based treatments across different countries. The x-axis represents how rigorous regulations are. The y-axis represents how active research on iPSC-based treatments is in each country; the number of iPSC treatment studies was used as a proxy for this measure. A positive correlation shown in the graph strongly supports the fact that less rigorous regulations facilitate research and development of stem cell therapies.
