Stem cell investment paid off for UConn (The New Britain, Conn. Herald News)

A 2005 decision to invest $100 million for stem cell research and training has paid off for University of Connecticut researchers and, Gov. M. Jodi Rell says, for the stateâ??s economy.

University of Connecticut researchers have created two new human embryonic stem cell lines essential for investigators working at the frontier of stem cell research. Discoveries can be translated into new treatments and cures for millions of people stricken with debilitating chronic diseases.
