Executive Summary
Stem cell research could gain momentum in Spain after the health minister Bernat Soria announced that he was fully committed to this type of research, regardless of the type of cell involved. The speedy transfer of any scientific advances from the lab to clinical practice would also be a priority, he said earlier this month at the 2008 Biobridge congress in Geneva. This was most likely to be achieved within a regulatory framework, he added.
