Melton and David T. Scadden. Neither scientist responded to repeated requests for comment this week. Their Institute—which has served in recent years as a reliable fountain of important discoveries in stem cell biology—provides seed grants for researchers.With the Bush administration restricting government funding to only experiments performed on pre-existing stem...

"Right now, everybody is upset because UBS messed up," says Georg Lutz, a political scientist at Lausanne's Foundation for Research in Social Sciences.
