Abstract
Federal District Chief Judge Royce Lamberth threw federal support for US human embryonic stem-cell (hESC) research into doubt on Aug 23, 2010, issuing an injunction halting such funding until he made a final ruling on a lawsuit against it. The US Court of Appeals temporarily lifted Lamberth's freeze, pending its own review of the case. That was not a permanent reversal, however—providing scant reprieve for publicly funded hESC researchers. The US National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) suspended the peer review and the process of funding approval for more than 60 proposed hESC research projects across the USA, and announced the existing grants would not be renewed as they came up for annual review.
