The California Stem Cell Report will
provide live, wall-to-wall coverage of today's meeting of the
governing board of the $3 billion California stem cell agency.

At the top of the agenda is a $70
million proposal aimed at creating a string of Alpha stem cell clinics in
California that would serve as a foundation for the state's stem cell
business. Also on tap are other proposed grant programs, including a
$23 million expansion of a researcher recruitment effort and a $35 million round aimed at removing roadblocks to turning research into
cures.

Stories will be filed as warranted
throughout the day based on the Internet audiocast of the proceedings. 

Interested parties can also listen in
on the meeting via the Internet. Instructions can be found on the agenda.
