内容简介：
The global stem cell therapy market is serviced by a supply of treatments generated by two quite different models of stem cell innovation: scientific innovation and medical innovation. The former is characterised by hypothesis driven research, the scientific method and randomised controlled trials. The latter contains elements of these features but is mainly characterised by the clinic based provision of new, scientifically-unproven stem cell based therapies to patients. These two innovation models occasionally contradict with each other in the case of stem cell market, as the stem cell based medical innovation led by the clinicians in the emerging economies is always associated with a negative business-oriented phenomenon – stem cell tourism. This research conducts studies on professional cultures, ethical systems and regulatory frameworks of scientists and clinicians to help understand the nature of innovation models in stem cell science, as well as in the global stem cell market.
