title: The more things change: the new NIH Guidelines on human stem cell research.
abstract: Many assumed that the Obama administration would usher in a sea change from the previous administration by expanding NIH support for human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research and reducing the patchwork of state and federal regulations that currently governs it. This article examines the extent to which NIH's new Guidelines are likely to accomplish these goals.
