在考虑对研究及其临床应用进行适当的管理时，缺乏对当前公众对诱导多能干细胞(IPSC)基础研究的态度的了解是一个严重的问题。因此，我们进行了一项基于互联网的调查，以确定公众对IPSCs和再生医学(RM)研发的看法。调查共收集到14,908份有效回覆，显示日本公众熟悉IPSC和RM这两个名词，其中很多人是透过电视和报章收到有关IPSC和RM的资料。他们亦普遍同意有需要为综合平台服务供应商的研究提供额外拨款，但亦决定采取“静观其变”的方式，并认为应根据国际规管架构，在适当管治下进行产品供应商服务供应商和市场研究中心的研究和发展。有必要讨论国际上一致的监管制度和有效的信息流动机制。
The lack of knowledge of current public attitudes towards basic research into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a serious problem when considering appropriate ways of governance regarding research and its clinical applications. We therefore conducted an internet-based survey to determine public opinion regarding the research and development of iPSCs and regenerative medicine (RM). A total of 14,908 valid responses were collected, which revealed that the Japanese public were familiar with the terms iPSCs and RM, and many of them had received information about iPSCs and RM through the television and newspapers. They also generally accepted the need for extra funding for research into iPSCs, but also decided to adopt a "wait and see" approach and thought that research and development of iPSCs and RM should be conducted under proper governance in accordance with an international regulatory framework. It will be necessary to discuss an internationally consistent regulatory system and effective mechanisms for information flow.
