US National Institutes of Health has released its highly anticipated draft guidelines for the research funded by the federal government on stem cells. The draft regulation would allow research only on human embryonic stem cells derived from surplus embryos that fertility clinics planned to discard. The work on cell lines made from embryos created for research purposes would not be eligible for funding.
More details to come.
(Editor's note: original title of this object, "Obama plays his cards on stem cells" has been changed since it was the decision of the NIH on the lines to allow research, not the White House.)
