Patents and misplaced angst: lessons for translational stem cell research from genomics

Cell Stem Cell. 2013 May 2;12(5):508-12. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2013.04.015.

Abstract

Realizing the therapeutic potential of both stem cell and genomics research requires harnessing the respective strengths of academic, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors, supported by policies and legal incentives for multisectorial collaboration. Here, we discuss issues facing these fields and lessons from the genomics sector that apply to stem cell research.
