Statement of Benefit to California:
Innovative stem cell and gene therapy clinical trials can be implemented and accelerated within the CIRM ASCC network and will benefit the State of California by alleviating the enormous burden of devastating degenerative diseases on patients, caregivers, and health care providers.
