Abstract

Italy's government is poised to rescue the Biomedical Research Center in Palermo. The project in regenerative medicine was jointly sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh and Palermo's ISMETT organ transplantation research center ( Science , 27 October 2006, p. [577][1]). More than 100 Italian scientists living abroad protested a government plan to withdraw support last year. Now the government has submitted a finance bill that would provide $340 million rather than the $410 million first proposed. The downsizing has forced a project review, but ISMETT says it hopes to begin recruiting staff later this month. [1]: /lookup/doi/10.1126/science.314.5799.577c
