The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) welcomes today’s announcement of an advance in stem cell science and reprogramming through somatic cell nuclear transfer or SCNT.

The ISSCR applauds the decision announced today by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the case of Sherley v. Sebelius, dismissing challenges to the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) funding of human embryonic stem cell research.
