...post-doctoral education at the University of Massachusetts’ Worcester and Amherst campuses. The remaining $250 million would be allocated for tax credits to life sciences firms.

Newly elected Massachusetts State Senator Anthony D. Galluccio, who represents Cambridge, wrote a letter to the Cambridge Chronicle earlier this month strongly supporting the legislation. Gallucio praised the bill as a means of anchoring the middle class, generating tax revenue in the local economy, and making Massachusetts a national leader...

After generating HESCs from excess fertility-clinic embryos, the scientists cultured the cells for 12 days in a medium that directed them to become pancreatic cells. These were transplanted into mice whose own pancreatic cells had been deliberately destroyed, making them insulin-deficient. Within 45 days, new cells began producing fresh insulin...
