The working future of embryonic stem cell biology and regenerative medicine is in the 38 projects listed and linked below. Or at least in some of them. These are the research projects that were recommended for funding available by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine after a thorough evaluation and all applications can be found in the Public List of CIRM. 47 more were recommended for funding if money is available. If you choose to scan through the public abstracts of the proposal (linked with the numbers) I also strongly recommend to read the WEAKNESSES part of the review. The order of the projects is descending from the highest scientific score (out of 100) to the lowest.
