=====Potential Investments=====
==== Applied Stem Cell Research ====
|It is likely premature to invest in any of the dozens of stem cell research companies.  There are both domestic and foreign companies with major strides being made outside of the U.S. due to better funding policies in some nations.  Different companies utilize different types of stem cells: embryonic, umbilical, organ derived, or adult stem cells.  It could be stated that the diversity of stem cell types is due to the fact that many countries have regulated against funding stem cell research based on the moral concerns of constituents.  Regulation against stem cell research in the U.S. is limited to decreased or eliminated federal funding for certain types of research, but no restriction is made on what types of research can be done. \\ [[http://mbbnet.umn.edu/scmap.html|MBBNET Stem Cell Policy Maps]] \\ [[http://www.google.com/url?q=/finance%3Fq%3DSTEM%2BCELL&sa=X&oi=stocks_keyword&ct=title|Google Finance - STEM]] \\ [[http://yahoo.smartmoney.com/stockwatch/index.cfm?story=20050525&afl=yahoo|Yahoo - Stem Cell Stockwatch]] \\ [[http://www.forbes.com/2001/08/03/0803sf.html|Forbes.com - Stem Cell Companies]] \\ [[http://stemcells.nih.gov/|NIH Stem Cells Research]] \\ [[http://www.religioustolerance.org/res_stem.htm|Religious Tolerance - Stem Cell Ethics]] \\ http://www.stemcellresearchfoundation.org/ \\ [[http://www.weigelworld.org/research/projects/floralpatterning/|Plant Stem Cells in Floral Patterning]] \\ http://www.stemcellresearchnews.com/Stem_Cell_News.htm | [[http://mbbnet.umn.edu/scmap.html|{{http://mbbnet.umn.edu/icons/scmap12.gif?400}}]] |
