UC-Irvine Opens New Facility Targeting Stem Cell Research
Last week, UC-Irvine opened a stem cell research institute that will focus on developing treatments for Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injuries, macular degeneration and other conditions. The California Institute of Regenerative Medicine helped fund the creation of UC-Irvine's facility and plans to open additional research centers at UCLA, the University of Southern California and four other California universities.
