California to (Maybe) release Stem Cell Money

California has several years ago voted to fund Stem Cell Research, thanks to lack of support from the Feds (and specifically the White House). But the anti-Stem forces have stymied the funding in every legalistic way they can. A recent ruling from the California Appeals Court has freed up the money, which has been appropriated by the State. The total is 3 B over a period of time; so far the big winners are Stanford and UCSF, no surprise, but the money is disseminated around the State. Stay tuned to see if there is an appeal to the Supreme Court of CA; it ain't over till it's over.
