Figure 1 Worldwide Research in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells (A) Number of original research papers published from 2014 to 2016. Included are all studies in which experimental use of hESCs (left) or/and hiPSCs (right) is reported. (B) Number of research papers published on experimental use of hESCs (left) or/and hiPSCs (right) in the 3-year periods indicated. The number of papers in which both hESCs and hiPSCs were used in the same study is shown in lighter gray. Mere gold standard usage of hESCs is indicated by gray-white striped lines.

Figure 2 Allocation of hPSC Research to Specific Countries Share (percentage) of papers from a given country in relation to the total number of hESC research papers (A) and hiPSC research papers (B) for the indicated periods. Only results for countries with more than 50 or 30 original publications in the hESC or hiPSC field, respectively, were included. The numbers to the right of the upper bars relate to the total 9-year period (2008–2016).
