The Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research (CAMR), of which ASH is a member, has released a white paper entitled Catalyst for Cures: Embryonic Stem Cell Research, which outlines the views of nine of the nation’s leading scientists on the promises and challenges of embryonic stem cell research.

Catalyst for Cures: Embryonic Stem Cell Research shares experts’ viewpoints and assessments of embryonic stem cell research to date and takes a look at where this research might lead in the coming years. The release of the paper coincides with both the 10th anniversary of the announcement that human pluripotent stem cell lines could be grown in culture and expected reversal of the current limits on federally funded embryonic stem cell research by President-Elect Obama.

The full text of Catalyst for Cures: Embryonic Stem Cell Research is available on the CAMR Web site.
