Three types of stem cells, embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells, are currently studied by scientists. Barack Obama's presidency has opened the door for stem cell research by revoking statements and orders made during the former President Bush's administration. This provisional period will allow the National Institute of Health to rewrite policies governing how federal funds are distributed for stem cell research. These new regulations will grant more freedom to researchers wishing to use stem cells in their research and challenge them to determine the most appropriate stem cell treatment for a given disorder.
目前，科学家们正在研究三种类型的干细胞，即胚胎干细胞、成体干细胞和诱导多能干细胞。巴拉克·奥巴马担任总统期间，撤销了前总统布什政府发布的声明和命令，为干细胞研究打开了大门。这一过渡时期将使美国国立卫生研究院能够重新制定关于联邦资金如何分配用于干细胞研究的政策。这些新规定将给予希望在研究中使用干细胞的研究人员更多自由，并促使他们确定针对特定疾病最合适的干细胞治疗方法。
