The Scientist: The stem cell banking crisis - The Scientist - Magazine of the Life Sciences http://www.the-scientist.com/blog/display/57274/#ixzz0kjxxFlLT "The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has allowed a contract for the dissemination of embryonic stem cell lines approved for US government funding to lapse, shuttering a key stem cell bank, and doubling the price researchers pay for samples of some human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines." The article goes on to say, "Researchers hoped that stem cell research would be moving forward by leaps and bounds." Cirba: Adult stem cell research is moving foreward by leaps and bounds, but the embryonic stem cell research that the article talks about is not moiving foreward. The article blames it on a lack of stem cell banks and a lack of government subsidies. Just maybe it is something else. Maybe embryonic stem cell lines aren't being used because they aren't producing the results adult stem cells produce. Visit:
