...Though the new technique is eligible for federal funds, Melton said that a dearth of available government science grants would limit any increase in support for reprogramming...
...There will be some money,” Melton said. “But it’s not what the field deserves...
...Finally, the promise and potential of directly reprogrammed cells calls into question whether embryonic stem cells are useful any more. Why go to the trouble of creating embryos when stem cells can be coaxed directly from properly manipulated cells?
