We posit that GFPs amplify international spillovers by signalling technological promise: government selection legitimises priority fields and attracts foreign attention. Using patent data from Japanese GFPs and a matched sample of private R&amp;D, we find that GFPs' patents receive significantly more international forward citations, especially when projects are highlighted in            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><div class=\"item item-15402 skin flat odd 1 \">\n        <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-15544\">\n          <div class=\"element element_5  title_link \">\r\n                    <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n                href=\"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/2026\/05\/15\/results-20261007-7\/\">\u3010Tohru Yoshioka-Kobayashi\u3011Advancement in Cell and Gene Therapy Research: A 35-Year Bibliometric Perspective<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_8  excerpt \">\r\n        \u25b6Category\uff1a Article \u25b6Author\uff1aKitahara, Yuki\uff1aHiroaki Koda\uff1aJunya Kataoka\uff1aKumiko Tatsumi\uff1aRyo Nishino\uff1aTohru Yoshioka-Kobayashi\uff1aSumimasa Nagai \u25b6Institution\uff1aCytotherapy \u25b6Volume\uff1aVol.28 \u25b6Number\uff1aIssue 4 \u25b6Page\uff1app.1-11 \u25b6Date\uff1a2026\/04\/01 \u25b6Article Title\uff1aAdvancement in Cell and Gene Therapy Research: A 35-Year Bibliometric Perspective \u25b6Abstract\uff1aCell and gene therapies (CGT) have been increasingly translated into clinical practice over the past three decades; however, their development has been uneven across modalities and regions. \u3010Methods\u3011 Through a bibliometric analysis indexed in PubMed from 1989 to 2023, supplemented by citation and affiliation data from OpenAlex, we examined modality-specific progression under different regional and collaborative configurations and how transitions from basic to clinical research have emerged. \u3010Results\u3011 Hematopoietic stem cell therapies            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><div class=\"item item-15397 skin flat even 2 \">\n        <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-15544\">\n          <div class=\"element element_5  title_link \">\r\n                    <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n                href=\"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/2026\/03\/01\/results-20261007-6\/\">\u3010Padr\u00f3n-Hern\u00e1ndez, Ivar\u3011How Subsidiaries Leverage Institutionally Derived Influence in Headquarter Strategy Initiatives<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_8  excerpt \">\r\n        \u25b6Category\uff1a Article \u25b6Author\uff1aPadr\u00f3n-Hern\u00e1ndez, Ivar\uff1aEdward Gillmore \u25b6Institution\uff1aJournal of International Management \u25b6Volume\uff1aVol.32 \u25b6Number\uff1aIssue 2 \u25b6Page\uff1app.1-18 \u25b6Date\uff1a2025\/03\/01 \u25b6Article Title\uff1aHow Subsidiaries Leverage Institutionally Derived Influence in Headquarter Strategy Initiatives \u25b6Abstract\uff1aResearch on headquarters\u2013subsidiary relationships has shown how subsidiaries respond to local institutions, but less is known about how they leverage those same institutions to gain internal influence.

The dataset was collected from 339 firms of the HDMI            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"pagination\">\n      <div class=\"paginate\">\n      <\/div>\n  <style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #post-grid-15535 .pagination .page-numbers {\n      font-size: 16px;\n      color: #fff;\n      background: #646464;\n    }\n\n    #post-grid-15535 .pagination .page-numbers:hover,\n    #post-grid-15535 .pagination .page-numbers.current {\n      background: #4b4b4b;\n    }\n  <\/style>\n  <\/div>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-15544 .element_5 {\r\n            color: #000000;\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n            display: block;\r\nfont-size: 16px;\r\nfont-weight: bold;\r\nline-height: 1.4;\r\npadding: 0;\r\ntext-align: left;\r\ntext-decoration: none;\r\nwidth: 100%;\r\nmargin: 0 0 5px 0;        }\r\n\r\n        .layout-15544 .element_5 a {\r\n            color: #000000;\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-15544 .element_8 {\r\n            font-size: 12px;\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n            display: -webkit-box;\r\n-webkit-box-orient: vertical;\r\n-webkit-line-clamp: 3;\r\noverflow: hidden;        }\r\n\r\n        .layout-15544 .element_8 a {\r\n            font-size: 12px;\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n        <style type=\"text\/css\">\n      .layout-15544 a{text-decoration:none}\r\n.layout-15544 {\r\n  vertical-align: top;\r\n}\r\n.layout-15544 .layer-media{}\r\n.layout-15544 .layer-content {\r\n}    <\/style>\n    <script>\n          <\/script>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #post-grid-15535 {\n      padding: 10px;\n          }\n\n    #post-grid-15535 .item {\n      padding: 0px;\n      background: #fff;\n          }\n\n    #post-grid-15535 .item .layer-media {\n      height:auto;    }\n\n    @media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 767px) {\n      #post-grid-15535 .grid-items {\n        text-align: center;\n              }\n\n      #post-grid-15535 .item {\n        width: 90%;\n        margin: 10px;\n        display: inline-block;\n        vertical-align: top;\n        height:auto;      }\n    }\n\n    @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {\n      #post-grid-15535 .grid-items {\n        text-align: center;\n              }\n\n      #post-grid-15535 .item {\n        width: 400px;\n        margin: 10px;\n        display: inline-block;\n        vertical-align: top;\n        max-height:auto;      }\n    }\n\n    @media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\n      #post-grid-15535 .grid-items {\n        text-align: center;\n              }\n\n      #post-grid-15535 .item {\n        width: 100%;\n        display: inline-block;\n        margin: 10px;\n        vertical-align: top;\n        height:auto;      }\n    }\n\n      <\/style>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article | Working Paper | Case Study | Others\u00a0\u25b6 Data from before March 2025 will be available here (coming soon).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"sns_share_botton_hide":"","vkExUnit_sns_title":"","_vk_print_noindex":"","sitemap_hide":"","vkExUnit_sitemap":"","_veu_custom_css":"","veu_display_promotion_alert":"common","_exclude_from_list_pages":"","vkexunit_cta_each_option":"","vkExUnit_childPageIndex":"","vkExUnit_pageList_ancestor":"","vkExUnit_contact_enable":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15549","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"veu_head_title_object":{"title":"","add_site_title":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15549"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15553,"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15549\/revisions\/15553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iir.hit-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
