California stem cell agency fights for life

It was a great news the Proposition 71 was backed by 59% of electorate. The proposition 71 authorized the agency, California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, to dole out an average of $300 million in research grants each year over 10 years. However, at least a couple of lawsuits are seeking to invalidate the creation of CIRM, which put the institute in trouble. Several scientists have to turn down Stanford offer, due to lack of funding that was supposed to come after the foudation of CIRM, but has not yet. From Yahoo SciNews.

Sad for the stem cell scientists.
