Nearly $4 million in new funding from the state’s cancer-fighting agency will significantly expand plans to draw new and diverse cancer researchers to the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth.
In this week’s episode of The Conversation Weekly, as new scientific guidelines are released on embryo research and the use of stem cells, we talk to experts about what’s changed – including a recommendation to relax the 14-day time limit for human embryo research. And we hear about a wave of romantic comedy films emerging from South Africa that are re-imagining the city of Johannesburg.
It’s been five years since the last set of guidelines from the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) were published.
