Many fields have struggled to develop strategies, policies, or structures to optimally manage data, materials, and intellectual property rights (IPRs). There is growing recognition that the field of stem cell science, in part because of its complex IPRs landscape and the importance of cell line collections, may require collective action to facilitate basic and translational research. Access to pluripotent stem cell lines and the information associated with them is critical to the progress of stem cell science, but simple notions of access are substantially complicated by shifting boundaries between what is considered information versus material, person versus artifact, and private property versus the public domain.
许多领域一直在努力制定战略、政策或结构，以最佳地管理数据、材料和知识产权 (IPR)。人们越来越认识到，干细胞科学领域，部分原因是其复杂的知识产权景观和细胞系收集的重要性，可能需要采取集体行动来促进基础研究和转化研究。获得多能干细胞系及其相关信息对于干细胞科学的发展至关重要，但简单的访问概念因以下因素而变得复杂：信息与材料、人与制品、私有财产与公有领域之间的界限不断变化。
