Abstract
The 2007 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine The Nobel Price for 2007 was awarded to Mario R Capecchi (University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, USA), Sir Martin J Evans (Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK) and Oliver Smithies (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC, United States) “for their discoveries of principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by use of embryonic stem cells”. This year’s Nobel Laureates have made a series of ground‐breaking discoveries concerning embryonic stem cells and DNA recombination in mammals. Their discoveries led to the creation of an immensely powerful technology referred to as gene targeting in mice . It is now being applied to virtually all areas of biomedicine—from basic research to the development of new therapies. For more information visit http://www.nobelprize.org . President orders NIH to explore expanding pluripotent stem cell lines * The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced on September 18, 2007, that it plans to begin implementing an Executive Order issued by President Bush to begin exploring methods to expand the number of approved pluripotent stem cell lines “without creating a human embryo for research purposes or destroying, discarding, or subjecting harm to a human embryo or
