"content": "\u003cp>It’s been more than a decade since California launched an unprecedented experiment in medical research by direct democracy, when voters created a $3 billion fund to kick-start the hunt for stem cell therapies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bold plan, a response to federal funding limits for embryonic stem cell research, was sold with a simple pitch: The money would rapidly yield cures for devastating human diseases such as Parkinson’s and ALS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hasn’t happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"wiA2OMIATARmkALimTVF9L5bJoRR3eQd\"]A major reason, a STAT examination found, is that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cirm.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">California Institute for Regenerative Medicine\u003c/a> has been slow to move promising experimental therapies into clinical trials. The National Institutes of Health has supported three and a half times as many human trials of stem cell therapies, dollar for dollar, as the California agency has funded since it started making grants in 2006. Just two of its clinical trials have been completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am floored by the disparity,” said Jim Lott, a health care consultant and member of the state board that monitors the agency, known as CIRM. If the numbers are correct, he told STAT, “that doesn’t settle well with me as a voter. That doesn’t settle well with me as a taxpayer. That doesn’t settle well with me as a member of the oversight committee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CIRM has used most of the $2.2 billion in grants it has distributed so far to build labs and pay for basic research at public and private universities, such as Stanford and the University of Southern California, and private companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has given more than $300 million to 27 projects that include clinical trials — though much of that funding also supported preclinical work. Meanwhile, the agency has committed about $540 million to new labs and buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, that’s because its directors chose to focus on infrastructure early on, as well as bench experiments and animal studies given that the biology of embryonic stem cells was not well-understood and there are formidable roadblocks to moving into human studies. Much more is known about the bone marrow stem cells that are the focus of many NIH-funded clinical trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics have noted that many top grantees come from institutions that hold seats on CIRM’s governing board. The respected Institute of Medicine, in a 2013 \u003ca href=\"https://www.nap.edu/catalog/13523/the-california-institute-for-regenerative-medicine-science-governance-and-the\" target=\"_blank\">review\u003c/a>, said institutionalized conflicts of interest have raised questions about “the integrity and independence of some of CIRM’s decisions.” CIRM later enacted reforms that barred board members from voting directly on grants for their institutions. But the changes didn’t prevent other financial \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-20140720-column.html\" target=\"_blank\">conflicts\u003c/a> involving \u003ca href=\"http://californiastemcellreport.blogspot.com/2016/09/alan-trounson-former-ceo-of-california.html\" target=\"_blank\">CIRM officers and grantees\u003c/a>, and the flow of funds to board members’ institutions continued unabated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_322983\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 979px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-322983 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM.jpg\" alt=\"CIRM\" width=\"979\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM.jpg 979w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM-160x76.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM-800x378.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM-768x362.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM-960x453.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM-240x113.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM-375x177.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/CIRM-520x245.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sources: California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, National Institutes of Health. \u003cspan class=\"media-source\">*Several CIRM trials included here were announced shortly after Sept. 30, 2016, the cut-off for the NIH data. **NIH spending for 2006 and 2007 is estimated because exact figures were unavailable.\u003c/span>NATALIA BRONSHTEIN/STAT\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“You could make an argument that California taxpayer money should go to build new facilities on state university campuses,” said Marcy Darnovsky, who directs the Berkeley-based Center for Genetics and Society, a public affairs nonprofit. “But I don’t see an argument for Stanford getting fancy new buildings from California taxpayer money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford, whose endowment is among the top five nationally, and USC have received more than $70\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>million for major building projects, and hundreds of millions more for labs and research. Stanford alone has been favored with $1 out of every $7 CIRM has approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But scientists outside California said CIRM’s record is a strong one. CIRM-funded researchers have published nearly 2,000 scholarly papers. That output has helped vault California into the top ranks of stem cell science, said Dr. George Daley, the new dean of Harvard Medical School and a leading stem cell scientist who describes himself as an informal adviser and cheerleader for CIRM. “When I look at the progress my colleagues have made in California, I am duly awed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The institute announced a year ago that it would reinvent itself to emphasize clinical research until it runs out of money in 2020 — unless voters grant a new infusion of cash. CIRM plans to fund 50 new trials with its remaining $692 million, of which 10 were announced in 2016. Just 17 trials were funded in its first decade of grants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C. Randal Mills, CIRM’s CEO since 2014 and architect of its new strategy, said he welcomed comparisons that help benchmark CIRM’s progress. Mills, former head of Osiris Therapeutics, the first company to commercialize an approved stem cell treatment, declined to comment on STAT’s specific findings, but defended the initial emphasis on labs and basic science as underpinning future clinical work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re running our own race. … What we have to do is just continually get better” to benefit patients, Mills said in an interview. “If we’re behind [NIH], we’re going to get better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lott’s teenage daughter was paralyzed in an automobile crash and he hopes for a stem cell cure. He supports the goals of CIRM and applauds much of its work, but he now has second thoughts about the governance structure, which allows board members’ institutions to benefit from CIRM grants, as well as its financing. The ballot question that created CIRM, Proposition 71, authorized bond sales to pay for the agency’s budget, raising the total cost for taxpayers to $6 billion including interest. Financial experts, however, said that relatively low interest rates paid on long-term bonds can offer advantages over funding so large a venture directly from state coffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether he would support a similar ballot measure today, Lott said, “We were all caught up in the time, and the events were different when we first looked at this. But not today. Not at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Lives Will Be Saved'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians emphatically supported CIRM, creating the stem cell colossus with 59 percent of the vote in 2004. Many were upset that President George W. Bush had sharply limited federal funding for work with embryonic stem cells, which are derived from early human embryos and able to develop into any type of tissue or organ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Proposition 71 also won because it was shamelessly oversold, consumer advocates and science policy experts said. Desperate patients, Nobel laureates, and A-list celebrities such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2016/08/30/parkinsons-study-fox-foundation-feud/\" target=\"_blank\">Michael J. Fox\u003c/a> — the Hollywood star and Parkinson’s sufferer — predicted “cures” that would “save millions of lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are more Americans than … we can count who are sick now, or are going to be sick in the future, whose lives will be saved by Prop 71,” patient advocate Joan Samuelson said in another ad. The sponsors of the measure also predicted that CIRM-generated cures would drastically reduce health care spending. No one made specific promises for the 10-year timeframe initially planned for CIRM’s work, but miracles seemed just around the corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can support embryonic stem cell research, which we do and did, and still be pretty appalled by what was going down,” said Darnovsky. “The airwaves were swamped with guys in white coats who were identified with their academic affiliation even though they were principals of private companies (some of which later got CIRM grants), and basically saying, ‘We’re going to have cures by Christmas.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mills, who was not involved at the agency’s genesis, called the idea sold to voters — impending, sweeping breakthroughs — “naïve.” Radical medical change usually takes decades from idea to cure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But here we are,” he said. “My sole mission is to create as much value for the resources we have left, for the people of California, that I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California vs. NIH\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even under Bush-era restrictions — rescinded after President Barack Obama took office — the NIH continued to support substantial stem cell research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2006, it has spent $13.4 billion on stem cell science, six times CIRM’s budget during that period. But NIH fully or partly funded 571 clinical trials, according to STAT’s review — more than 20 times the number backed by California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While NIH in that period funded 50 Phase 3 clinical trials of stem cell therapies — generally the last step before seeking approval to market a product — CIRM has supported just three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, the study of a treatment for skin cancer involving immune system cells, was terminated by Caladrius Biosciences, the grantee, when it determined that existing treatments had overtaken its approach. The others — testing altered immune cells to treat brain cancer and bioengineered veins to manage vascular problems — show promise, but are still recruiting patients and will not be completed for several years, according to the NIH website, ClinicalTrials.gov.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daley called the NIH comparison “a little unfair,” because that agency emphasized hematopoietic stem cells — blood-forming cells from bone marrow, which had been studied for decades — unlike CIRM’s sharper focus on cutting-edge embryonic stem cells. A little more than half of CIRM’s awards have gone to support research on embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells, which are created by modifying adult stem cells to act like embryonic ones. It gave about a quarter of its awards to support adult stem cell work, and the rest for other research areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the early days of CIRM, the feeling was that the field needed deep and direct investments in the … fundamental foundation of stem cell biology, because the translational opportunities were not yet mature, certainly not using embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells,” Daley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2016/01/30/paul-knoepfler/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Knoepfler\u003c/a>, a University of California, Davis, researcher and CIRM grantee who writes a popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.ipscell.com/\" target=\"_blank\">stem cell blog\u003c/a>, agreed. “One almost had to invent a system for figuring out what would be a safe way to proceed with embryonic stem cell clinical trials because those cells are really much more powerful and also have different kinds of risks,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knoepfler said he expected the basic science to spark clinical breakthroughs in time, citing, for example, promising early work on reversing paralysis from Asterias Biotherapeutics, located in Fremont, southeast of San Francisco. Jake Javier, a patient in a CIRM-supported Asterias trial, lost almost all use of his limbs in an accident diving into a swimming pool. He recently received an injection of a type of cell derived from embryonic stem cells that can help protect nerve cells damaged in spinal cord injuries. Javier has since regained some\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>use of his arms — one of five patients in early trials who have shown improvement that CIRM and the researchers attribute to the treatment. The results have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Mills noted that grants for new labs included provisions that required grantees to raise other funds — to “leverage” economic benefits to taxpayers — and to assist future trials. The institute, for example, gave $30 million to the contract research firm Quintiles to create facilities that will conduct preclinical research, manage regulatory issues, and provide clinical support for CIRM-supported stem cell trials, all at a steep discount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no iPhone 4 without an iPhone 3 or a 2 or a 1,” Mills said. But in a world where technology advances rapidly — Apple is already selling the iPhone 7, after all — voters are still waiting for the promised cures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_322991\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 384px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-322991\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina.jpg\" alt=\"Evangelina Padilla Vaccaro in November 2016.\" width=\"384\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina.jpg 384w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina-375x563.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evangelina Padilla Vaccaro in November 2016. \u003ccite>(Nancy Ramos)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So far, CIRM has one literal poster child to show it can deliver. Four-year-old Evangelina Padilla Vaccaro, featured on the cover of CIRM’s recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.cirm.ca.gov/about-cirm/2016-annual-report\" target=\"_blank\">annual report\u003c/a>, was born with severe combined immunodeficiency. She had no operating immune system. Some such children have been kept alive in sterile isolation tents for a time — hence the term, “bubble baby” — but most have died from infections within a few years. A lucky few who received matching bone-marrow transplants survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA’s Dr. Donald Kohn, supported by CIRM, cured Evangelina by extracting some of her blood stem cells, altering them to correct the genetic defect, and returning them to her body. She’s now thriving with a robust immune system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That little girl, and 29 children like her, “are getting immunizations, they’re going to school, they’re swimming in public swimming pools, they’re eating dirt, they’re doing all the things that little kids are supposed to do,” said Steven Peckman, associate director of UCLA’s Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research. “They get sick and their own bodies attack those viruses and bacteria. And they survive. If there’s going to be something that’s called a cure, this is it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That inspiring triumph was partly funded by CIRM, but Kohn’s work took three decades, was well underway long before CIRM existed, and didn’t involve embryonic stem cells — the key gap CIRM was founded to fill.

The National Institutes of Health has supported three and a half times as many human trials of stem cell therapies, dollar for dollar, as the California agency has funded since it started making grants in 2006. Just two of its clinical trials have been completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am floored by the disparity,” said Jim Lott, a health care consultant and member of the state board that monitors the agency, known as CIRM.

Meanwhile, the agency has committed about $540 million to new labs and buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, that’s because its directors chose to focus on infrastructure early on, as well as bench experiments and animal studies given that the biology of embryonic stem cells was not well-understood and there are formidable roadblocks to moving into human studies. Much more is known about the bone marrow stem cells that are the focus of many NIH-funded clinical trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics have noted that many top grantees come from institutions that hold seats on CIRM’s governing board.

Stanford alone has been favored with $1 out of every $7 CIRM has approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But scientists outside California said CIRM’s record is a strong one. CIRM-funded researchers have published nearly 2,000 scholarly papers. That output has helped vault California into the top ranks of stem cell science, said Dr. George Daley, the new dean of Harvard Medical School and a leading stem cell scientist who describes himself as an informal adviser and cheerleader for CIRM. “When I look at the progress my colleagues have made in California, I am duly awed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The institute announced a year ago that it would reinvent itself to emphasize clinical research until it runs out of money in 2020 — unless voters grant a new infusion of cash. CIRM plans to fund 50 new trials with its remaining $692 million, of which 10 were announced in 2016. Just 17 trials were funded in its first decade of grants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C. Randal Mills, CIRM’s CEO since 2014 and architect of its new strategy, said he welcomed comparisons that help benchmark CIRM’s progress. Mills, former head of Osiris Therapeutics, the first company to commercialize an approved stem cell treatment, declined to comment on STAT’s specific findings, but defended the initial emphasis on labs and basic science as underpinning future clinical work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re running our own race. … What we have to do is just continually get better” to benefit patients, Mills said in an interview. “If we’re behind [NIH], we’re going to get better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lott’s teenage daughter was paralyzed in an automobile crash and he hopes for a stem cell cure. He supports the goals of CIRM and applauds much of its work, but he now has second thoughts about the governance structure, which allows board members’ institutions to benefit from CIRM grants, as well as its financing. The ballot question that created CIRM, Proposition 71, authorized bond sales to pay for the agency’s budget, raising the total cost for taxpayers to $6 billion including interest. Financial experts, however, said that relatively low interest rates paid on long-term bonds can offer advantages over funding so large a venture directly from state coffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether he would support a similar ballot measure today, Lott said, “We were all caught up in the time, and the events were different when we first looked at this. But not today. Not at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Lives Will Be Saved'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians emphatically supported CIRM, creating the stem cell colossus with 59 percent of the vote in 2004. Many were upset that President George W. Bush had sharply limited federal funding for work with embryonic stem cells, which are derived from early human embryos and able to develop into any type of tissue or organ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Proposition 71 also won because it was shamelessly oversold, consumer advocates and science policy experts said. Desperate patients, Nobel laureates, and A-list celebrities such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2016/08/30/parkinsons-study-fox-foundation-feud/\" target=\"_blank\">Michael J. Fox\u003c/a> — the Hollywood star and Parkinson’s sufferer — predicted “cures” that would “save millions of lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are more Americans than … we can count who are sick now, or are going to be sick in the future, whose lives will be saved by Prop 71,” patient advocate Joan Samuelson said in another ad. The sponsors of the measure also predicted that CIRM-generated cures would drastically reduce health care spending. No one made specific promises for the 10-year timeframe initially planned for CIRM’s work, but miracles seemed just around the corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can support embryonic stem cell research, which we do and did, and still be pretty appalled by what was going down,” said Darnovsky. “The airwaves were swamped with guys in white coats who were identified with their academic affiliation even though they were principals of private companies (some of which later got CIRM grants), and basically saying, ‘We’re going to have cures by Christmas.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mills, who was not involved at the agency’s genesis, called the idea sold to voters — impending, sweeping breakthroughs — “naïve.” Radical medical change usually takes decades from idea to cure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But here we are,” he said. “My sole mission is to create as much value for the resources we have left, for the people of California, that I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California vs. NIH\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even under Bush-era restrictions — rescinded after President Barack Obama took office — the NIH continued to support substantial stem cell research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2006, it has spent $13.4 billion on stem cell science, six times CIRM’s budget during that period. But NIH fully or partly funded 571 clinical trials, according to STAT’s review — more than 20 times the number backed by California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While NIH in that period funded 50 Phase 3 clinical trials of stem cell therapies — generally the last step before seeking approval to market a product — CIRM has supported just three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, the study of a treatment for skin cancer involving immune system cells, was terminated by Caladrius Biosciences, the grantee, when it determined that existing treatments had overtaken its approach. The others — testing altered immune cells to treat brain cancer and bioengineered veins to manage vascular problems — show promise, but are still recruiting patients and will not be completed for several years, according to the NIH website, ClinicalTrials.gov.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daley called the NIH comparison “a little unfair,” because that agency emphasized hematopoietic stem cells — blood-forming cells from bone marrow, which had been studied for decades — unlike CIRM’s sharper focus on cutting-edge embryonic stem cells. A little more than half of CIRM’s awards have gone to support research on embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells, which are created by modifying adult stem cells to act like embryonic ones. It gave about a quarter of its awards to support adult stem cell work, and the rest for other research areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the early days of CIRM, the feeling was that the field needed deep and direct investments in the … fundamental foundation of stem cell biology, because the translational opportunities were not yet mature, certainly not using embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells,” Daley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2016/01/30/paul-knoepfler/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Knoepfler\u003c/a>, a University of California, Davis, researcher and CIRM grantee who writes a popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.ipscell.com/\" target=\"_blank\">stem cell blog\u003c/a>, agreed. “One almost had to invent a system for figuring out what would be a safe way to proceed with embryonic stem cell clinical trials because those cells are really much more powerful and also have different kinds of risks,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knoepfler said he expected the basic science to spark clinical breakthroughs in time, citing, for example, promising early work on reversing paralysis from Asterias Biotherapeutics, located in Fremont, southeast of San Francisco. Jake Javier, a patient in a CIRM-supported Asterias trial, lost almost all use of his limbs in an accident diving into a swimming pool. He recently received an injection of a type of cell derived from embryonic stem cells that can help protect nerve cells damaged in spinal cord injuries. Javier has since regained some\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>use of his arms — one of five patients in early trials who have shown improvement that CIRM and the researchers attribute to the treatment. The results have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Mills noted that grants for new labs included provisions that required grantees to raise other funds — to “leverage” economic benefits to taxpayers — and to assist future trials. The institute, for example, gave $30 million to the contract research firm Quintiles to create facilities that will conduct preclinical research, manage regulatory issues, and provide clinical support for CIRM-supported stem cell trials, all at a steep discount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no iPhone 4 without an iPhone 3 or a 2 or a 1,” Mills said. But in a world where technology advances rapidly — Apple is already selling the iPhone 7, after all — voters are still waiting for the promised cures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_322991\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 384px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-322991\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina.jpg\" alt=\"Evangelina Padilla Vaccaro in November 2016.\" width=\"384\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina.jpg 384w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/01/evangelina-375x563.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evangelina Padilla Vaccaro in November 2016. \u003ccite>(Nancy Ramos)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So far, CIRM has one literal poster child to show it can deliver. Four-year-old Evangelina Padilla Vaccaro, featured on the cover of CIRM’s recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.cirm.ca.gov/about-cirm/2016-annual-report\" target=\"_blank\">annual report\u003c/a>, was born with severe combined immunodeficiency. She had no operating immune system. Some such children have been kept alive in sterile isolation tents for a time — hence the term, “bubble baby” — but most have died from infections within a few years. A lucky few who received matching bone-marrow transplants survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA’s Dr. Donald Kohn, supported by CIRM, cured Evangelina by extracting some of her blood stem cells, altering them to correct the genetic defect, and returning them to her body. She’s now thriving with a robust immune system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That little girl, and 29 children like her, “are getting immunizations, they’re going to school, they’re swimming in public swimming pools, they’re eating dirt, they’re doing all the things that little kids are supposed to do,” said Steven Peckman, associate director of UCLA’s Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research. “They get sick and their own bodies attack those viruses and bacteria. And they survive. If there’s going to be something that’s called a cure, this is it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That inspiring triumph was partly funded by CIRM, but Kohn’s work took three decades, was well underway long before CIRM existed, and didn’t involve embryonic stem cells — the key gap CIRM was founded to fill. Evangelina was saved by hematopoietic stem cells, the type that NIH has been more focused on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Racing the Clock\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As much as Mills defends the old CIRM, last year he announced “CIRM 2.0” — a drastic shift to speed up clinical trials before the organization’s clock runs out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether Californians are getting good value for their money from CIRM, Mills cited economic gains to the state, then added: “I focus a lot more on the return in relief of human suffering.

I looked out. The field was — it looked like a million, a million and a half people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president went on to say that one network \"said we drew 250,000 people. Now that's not bad. But it's a lie.\" He then claimed that were 250,000 right by the stage and the \"rest of the, you know, 20-block area, all the way back to the Washington Monument was packed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So we caught them,\" Trump said of the media. \"And we caught them in a beauty. And I think they're going to pay a big price.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE FACTS:\u003c/strong> Trump is wrong. Photos of the National Mall from his inauguration make clear that the crowd did not extend to the Washington Monument. Large swaths of empty space are visible on the Mall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thin crowds and partially empty bleachers also dotted the inaugural parade route. Hotels across the District of Columbia reported vacancies, a rarity for an event as large as a presidential inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And ridership on the Washington's Metro system didn't match that of recent inaugurations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of 11 a.m. that day, there were 193,000 trips taken, according to the transit service's Twitter account. At the same hour eight years ago, there had been 513,000 trips. Four years later, there were 317,000 for Obama's second inauguration. There were 197,000 at 11 a.m. in 2005 for President George W. Bush's second inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary Sean Spicer later added to the misstatements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer claimed that it was the first time white \"floor coverings\" were used to protect the grass on the National Mall and that it drew attention to any empty space. But the same tarp was used four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer also said it was \"the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the Mall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access the Mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Secret Service says that this was the first time security fencing was installed around the National Mall for an inauguration. To get onto the Mall, people were required to go through one of seven checkpoints where their bags were checked, but there were no magnetometers used at those checkpoints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A law enforcement official not authorized to publicly discuss the inauguration says officials were \"not aware of any issues with flow rate in and around the National Mall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer then said, \"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He offered no evidence and there is no immediate way to confirm such a claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But photo taken during Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration showed substantially more people on the Mall. It is not known how many people watched the ceremony on television around the globe. In the U.S., Nielsen estimates 31 million viewers watched TV coverage, but that's less than Barack Obama's and Ronald Reagan's first inaugurations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exact size of the crowd Friday may never be known. The National Park Service stopped providing estimates in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The 'Missing' MLK Bust\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP:\u003c/strong> The president also went after a reporter who incorrectly wrote that the president had removed a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office. The reporter later acknowledged the error, saying a Secret Service agent and a door had obstructed his view of the bust when reporters were allowed into the room briefly after Trump's swearing in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But this is how dishonest the media is,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, big story, the retraction was like, where?\" he asked. \"Was it a line or do they even bother running it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE FACTS:\u003c/strong> Trump is right. The reporter for Time magazine made an error. The White House said Trump never removed the King bust from the Oval Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The error about the bust was first transmitted in a pool report distributed among reporters. The White House often uses a pool system when not all reporters who want to attend an event can be accommodated in a space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 7:30 p.m., reporter Zeke Miller wrote a pool report saying, \"The MLK bust was no longer on display.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Miller realized his error, an update was sent to the pool. \"The MLK bust remains in the Oval Office, in addition to the Churchill bust, per a WH aide. It was apparently obscured by a door and an agent during the spray. Your pool offers sincerest apologies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller also corrected the error on Twitter, and Time magazine corrected its story based on his report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Correction: An earlier version of the story said that a bust of Martin Luther King had been moved. It is still in the Oval Office,\" it reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Jessica Gresko contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And I think they're going to pay a big price.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE FACTS:\u003c/strong> Trump is wrong. Photos of the National Mall from his inauguration make clear that the crowd did not extend to the Washington Monument. Large swaths of empty space are visible on the Mall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thin crowds and partially empty bleachers also dotted the inaugural parade route. Hotels across the District of Columbia reported vacancies, a rarity for an event as large as a presidential inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And ridership on the Washington's Metro system didn't match that of recent inaugurations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of 11 a.m. that day, there were 193,000 trips taken, according to the transit service's Twitter account. At the same hour eight years ago, there had been 513,000 trips. Four years later, there were 317,000 for Obama's second inauguration. There were 197,000 at 11 a.m. in 2005 for President George W. Bush's second inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary Sean Spicer later added to the misstatements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer claimed that it was the first time white \"floor coverings\" were used to protect the grass on the National Mall and that it drew attention to any empty space. But the same tarp was used four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer also said it was \"the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the Mall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access the Mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Secret Service says that this was the first time security fencing was installed around the National Mall for an inauguration. To get onto the Mall, people were required to go through one of seven checkpoints where their bags were checked, but there were no magnetometers used at those checkpoints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A law enforcement official not authorized to publicly discuss the inauguration says officials were \"not aware of any issues with flow rate in and around the National Mall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer then said, \"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He offered no evidence and there is no immediate way to confirm such a claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But photo taken during Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration showed substantially more people on the Mall. It is not known how many people watched the ceremony on television around the globe. In the U.S., Nielsen estimates 31 million viewers watched TV coverage, but that's less than Barack Obama's and Ronald Reagan's first inaugurations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exact size of the crowd Friday may never be known. The National Park Service stopped providing estimates in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The 'Missing' MLK Bust\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP:\u003c/strong> The president also went after a reporter who incorrectly wrote that the president had removed a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office. The reporter later acknowledged the error, saying a Secret Service agent and a door had obstructed his view of the bust when reporters were allowed into the room briefly after Trump's swearing in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But this is how dishonest the media is,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, big story, the retraction was like, where?\" he asked. \"Was it a line or do they even bother running it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE FACTS:\u003c/strong> Trump is right. The reporter for Time magazine made an error. The White House said Trump never removed the King bust from the Oval Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The error about the bust was first transmitted in a pool report distributed among reporters. The White House often uses a pool system when not all reporters who want to attend an event can be accommodated in a space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 7:30 p.m., reporter Zeke Miller wrote a pool report saying, \"The MLK bust was no longer on display.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Miller realized his error, an update was sent to the pool. \"The MLK bust remains in the Oval Office, in addition to the Churchill bust, per a WH aide. It was apparently obscured by a door and an agent during the spray. Your pool offers sincerest apologies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller also corrected the error on Twitter, and Time magazine corrected its story based on his report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Correction: An earlier version of the story said that a bust of Martin Luther King had been moved. It is still in the Oval Office,\" it reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Jessica Gresko contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Just one day after President Trump's inauguration, marchers from across the country have gathered in the city to protest his agenda and support for women's rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event opened with a rally, to be followed by the march proper -- which had a path laid out from a starting position near the U.S. Capitol to its endpoint near the Washington Monument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/wmata/status/822841417475223552\" target=\"_blank\">city's metro system reported\u003c/a> 275,000 rides as of 11 a.m. According to metro officials that's eight times more than a normal Saturday. Reuters adds that the number is also \"82,000 more than the 193,000 rides reported at the same point on Friday,\" the day of Trump's inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the number of marchers swelled to the point of prompting \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AP/status/822877240790749184\" target=\"_blank\">reports there would be no space\u003c/a> for a formal procession -- a claim rebutted by organizers Saturday afternoon in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are marching,\" reads the statement. \"We are marching straight ahead toward the Washington Monument to the ellipse of the White House.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event grew from humble origins -- a \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-women-idUSKBN13U0GW\" target=\"_blank\">simple Facebook invitation\u003c/a> after Election Day — to the much more massive demonstration seen Saturday.

We seem to insist on congratulating ourselves that our system, or some part of it, still works. We're looking on with solemn awe that the people we've elected to high office are actually obeying the Constitution and laws they've sworn to uphold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, we don't take that for granted, and shouldn't. But to act amazed by and grateful for the successful completion of the most rudimentary requirements of American Government 101? Sad! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ritual of self-praise for accomplishing \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/01/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-a-peaceful-transition-of-power/513554/\" target=\"_blank\">a peaceful transfer of power\u003c/a> appears to be a relatively recent one. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, you can find a George Washington quote out there on the internet in which he uses the exact phrase that's so common today: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"What is most important of this grand experiment, the United States? Not the election of the first president but the election of its second president. The peaceful transition of power is what will separate this country from every other country in the world.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.mountvernon.org/digital-encyclopedia/article/spurious-quotations/\" target=\"_blank\">that quote is a fake\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A quick search through some readily available historical sources -- The New York Times archive going back to 1851, Newspapers.com, Google news and book searches -- suggests that our focus on the inauguration of a new administration as a \"peaceful transition of power\" is the product of the last few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier news accounts most often applied that phrase and similar formulations to nations where our idea of democracy had a tenuous hold -- far-off places in Asia, Africa and elsewhere in the Americas where changes in regime frequently involved bloodshed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day when our own transition became an object of wonder appears to be Jan. 20, 1981. At the outset of his first inaugural address, President Ronald Reagan started with this observation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"To a few of us here today this is a solemn and most momentous occasion, and yet in the history of our nation it is a commonplace occurrence. The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place, as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stop to think how unique we really are. In the eyes of many in the world, this every-four-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I can't claim my review of news sources is either exhaustive or entirely authoritative. But one thing is pretty easy to see. Mentions that associated U.S. presidential inaugurations -- or U.S. politics in general -- with the notion of a peaceful (or orderly) transition (or transfer) of power have been relatively infrequent, even after Reagan's mythologizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that changed this past year. With Donald Trump's frequent insistence during the campaign that the vote would be rigged against him, with his refusal to pledge he'd accept the election result, discussions of the transition -- and whether it would be peaceful or something else -- became a frequent topic of discussion in news columns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, as we all know, Trump squeaked out a narrow Electoral College victory despite getting nearly 3 million fewer votes than his opponent. He was more than pleased to accept the result, and we got our peaceful transition of power once again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked what sort of government the conclave had devised -- a monarchy or a republic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin's famous response: \"A republic, if you can keep it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meaning the work of American democracy, with all its imperfections, was just starting. Meaning that the Constitution itself, the system of government it creates and the society it animates would survive only with constant attention and care. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And meaning, finally, that the work, the attention and the care need to go much further than observing a quadrennial transition ritual. \u003c/p>\n\n",

We seem to insist on congratulating ourselves that our system, or some part of it, still works. We're looking on with solemn awe that the people we've elected to high office are actually obeying the Constitution and laws they've sworn to uphold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, we don't take that for granted, and shouldn't. But to act amazed by and grateful for the successful completion of the most rudimentary requirements of American Government 101?

Not the election of the first president but the election of its second president. The peaceful transition of power is what will separate this country from every other country in the world.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.mountvernon.org/digital-encyclopedia/article/spurious-quotations/\" target=\"_blank\">that quote is a fake\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A quick search through some readily available historical sources -- The New York Times archive going back to 1851, Newspapers.com, Google news and book searches -- suggests that our focus on the inauguration of a new administration as a \"peaceful transition of power\" is the product of the last few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier news accounts most often applied that phrase and similar formulations to nations where our idea of democracy had a tenuous hold -- far-off places in Asia, Africa and elsewhere in the Americas where changes in regime frequently involved bloodshed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day when our own transition became an object of wonder appears to be Jan. 20, 1981. At the outset of his first inaugural address, President Ronald Reagan started with this observation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"To a few of us here today this is a solemn and most momentous occasion, and yet in the history of our nation it is a commonplace occurrence. The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place, as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stop to think how unique we really are. In the eyes of many in the world, this every-four-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I can't claim my review of news sources is either exhaustive or entirely authoritative. But one thing is pretty easy to see. Mentions that associated U.S. presidential inaugurations -- or U.S. politics in general -- with the notion of a peaceful (or orderly) transition (or transfer) of power have been relatively infrequent, even after Reagan's mythologizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that changed this past year. With Donald Trump's frequent insistence during the campaign that the vote would be rigged against him, with his refusal to pledge he'd accept the election result, discussions of the transition -- and whether it would be peaceful or something else -- became a frequent topic of discussion in news columns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, as we all know, Trump squeaked out a narrow Electoral College victory despite getting nearly 3 million fewer votes than his opponent. He was more than pleased to accept the result, and we got our peaceful transition of power once again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked what sort of government the conclave had devised -- a monarchy or a republic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin's famous response: \"A republic, if you can keep it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meaning the work of American democracy, with all its imperfections, was just starting. Meaning that the Constitution itself, the system of government it creates and the society it animates would survive only with constant attention and care. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And meaning, finally, that the work, the attention and the care need to go much further than observing a quadrennial transition ritual. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
