Stem cell research has obtained more attention during the last decade because of its strong potential as a new tool to cure many chronic diseases. In addition, stem cell knowledge is an important basis for understanding pathophysiology at the cellular level and developing disease models for experimental research. There are different limitations on resources, budget, policy and regulation among countries. As a result, each country has particular advantages and disadvantages in stem cell research. This result in the establishment of international networks and collaborations to coordinate and promote stem cell research aimed at medical applications.
