To examine how the geographic distribution of pluripotent and adult stem cell research publications within the USA differs from other areas of biomedical research.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Publication count data for pluripotent stem cell research, adult stem cell research and a comparison group representative of biomedical research more broadly were collected and analyzed for each US state from 2009 to 2016.
The distribution of pluripotent stem cell research differed from the other fields with overperformance in pluripotent stem cell research observed in California, as well as Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Maryland and Connecticut.
Our analysis suggests that permissive state stem cell policy may be one of the several factors contributing to strong state performance in pluripotent stem cell research.
研究美国多能干细胞和成人干细胞研究出版物的地理分布与生物医学研究其他领域的差异。
收集并分析了2009年至2016年美国各州多能干细胞研究、成人干细胞研究以及更广泛代表生物医学研究的对照组的出版物数量数据。
多能干细胞研究的分布与其他领域不同，在加利福尼亚州以及威斯康星州、马萨诸塞州、马里兰州和康涅狄格州观察到多能干细胞研究表现突出。
我们的分析表明，宽松的州干细胞政策可能是导致多能干细胞研究在各州表现强劲的几个因素之一。
