International stem cell collaboration: how disparate policies between the United States and the United Kingdom impact research.

As the scientific community globalizes, it is increasingly important to understand the effects of international collaboration on the quality and quantity of research produced. While it is generally assumed that international collaboration enhances the quality of research, this phenomenon is not well...
