2. Figure 1 A Possible Crowdsourcing Model for iPSC Access
The schematic represents an outline for a possible crowdsourcing strategy and summarizes the relative advantages of the model. A key component of the model is that it would be important to include a fee to cover ongoing costs and redeposition of new lines for the strategy to be self-sustaining.
