New Embryonic Stem Cells Made Available
Rick Weiss and Justin Gillis of the Washington Post are back today with this article about new Embryonic Stem Cell (ESC) lines. 17 new lines developed with private funds were announced today by researchers from Harvard University. Several other universities in the United States are seeking to develop still more ESC lines, financed by private funds, with state funding being planned in some states. None of these can be used by researchers funded by the federal government under the rules promulgated by President Bush. Since the National Institutes of Health fund such a large part of basic biomedical research in the United States, the Bush prohibition is quite significant.
