News Editors/Health/Medical Writers

SAN FRANCISCO--- -The Public Library
of Science (PLoS) applauds the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)
for today 's announcement that it expects all of its grantees to make
articles arising from their NIH-funded research freely available
online in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central.
PLoS commends NIH's commitment to establish a Public Access
Advisory Working Group, also announced today, which will serve to
monitor the implementation and effects of the new policy over the
coming months and years.

"Alan has expertly directed two separate cell-based therapies
through late-stage clinical trials, and has worked with the leading
neuroscience companies in the world including Titan and Elan ," said
Martin McGlynn, chief executive officer of StemCells, Inc. He designed and
implemented phase II and III clinical studies, managed an ongoing
multi-center trial and closely interacted with the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). He has also
served as an expert resource for the National Institutes of Health
NINDS Stroke Progress Review Group and Health Technology Center's
Expert Panel on Stem Cell Technology, both in 2001.

PLoS urges all other funding agencies, in the US and abroad, to
adopt the progressive components of the NIH policy, and to accompany
them with stronger incentives for compliance and shorter periods of
allowable delay prior to public access. NIH grantees now have an added incentive to publish their
work in open-access journals that deposit their full contents in
PubMed Central immediately upon publication.

materially from those contemplated in the forward -looking statements
due to risks and uncertainties to which the Company is subject,
including uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to obtain the
capital resources needed to continue its current research and
development operations and to conduct the research, preclinical
development and clinical trials necessary for regulatory approvals;
the uncertainty whether the FDA will approve the IND and permit the
Company to proceed to clinical testing; the uncertainty regarding the
outcome of the Phase I clinical trial and any other trials the Company
may conduct in the future; the uncertainty regarding the validity and
enforceability of issued patents; the uncertainty whether any products
that may be generated in the Company's stem cell programs will prove
clinically effective and not cause tumors or other side effects; the
uncertainty whether the Company will achieve revenues from product
sales or become profitable; uncertainties regarding the Company's
obligations in regard to its former encapsulated cell therapy
facilities in Rhode Island; and other factors that are described in
