State’s Stem Cell Initiative Hits Five-Year Milestone
On Wednesday, stem cell researchers gathered in La Jolla to celebrate the five-year anniversary of the approval of the state's $3 billion stem cell initiative and to discuss upcoming challenges for the program. Larry Goldstein, director of the stem cell program at UC-San Diego, said that there are many promising ideas in the field but that it is unclear which will work and which will require years of testing to improve researchers' understanding of the science.
