A great source of stem cell news since 1996, the Bedford Stem Cell Research Foundation aggregates local and world headlines on one tab, and displays analysis, foundation news, education articles and events on another tab. You can get all the latest headlines and analysis in one quick stop at the stem cell news section of our site.
Stem cell research news and events have been booming in the last few years as more private funds have become available for research and more companies have found it profitable to hold stem cell research conferences. But how can you tell the real research and news from all the hype? It helps to have some trusted opinions analyze the latest events and give you a summary to understand what is crucial in the field of stem cell therapies.
At the beginning of 2009, Obama signed an executive order that was supposed to free up NIH funds to help stem cell research. At the time, many people thought this would help America and US scientists to get back in the headlines for stem cell news, but that has not been the case. The order did not actually free up funding for embryonic / parthenogenic stem cell research because the Dickey-Wicker amendment is still in place. This research is some of the most critically needed in order to increase the science community’s understanding of how stem cells develop and how we can create more stem cell therapies. Since funding for this research is still scarce in the US, people who are really interested to know the latest headlines on stem cell news, will need to check world news sources to find out how the research is progressing outside the US. That is why we have set up a section of our site dedicated to stem cell news from around the world, as well as in the United States.
Although most of the stem cell research being done today will help to move the field forward, not all research and findings are built time same. The Foundation stem cell news section endeavors to give you the inside track on which headlines are groundbreaking, and which are being oversold.
