News : FUNDING CRISIS FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH
It's a field sparking huge debate - but human embryonic stem cell
research looked set to gain momentum in the US this year, backed by
hundreds of millions in federal dollars. On 23 August, all that
changed as news broke that federal funding now hangs in the balance:
a US judge has agreed with a lawsuit contending the research is illegal.

Follow this fast-unfolding story through Nature as we unpick the
complexities, outline the big implications for research - such as
millions in pulled grants - and argue that this is one case that
should never have gone to trial.
