NIH reverses Bush stem cell policy, OKs 13 new lines
December 3, 2009
The National Institutes of Health cleared 13 human embryonic stem cell lines for use in experiments by federally funded scientists, opening the door to a new era of research into promising but controversial treatments.
The move Wednesday is part of a new federal policy that supporters of stem cell research expected the Obama administration to champion and could have implications for California’s stem cell research funding organization. (San Francisco Business Times)
