Nearly 4,700 votes were cast with the team of Michele de Luc­­­­a and Graziella Pellegrini of the University of Modena garnering the most support – 1,159 votes. Coming in second with 1,014 votes was Jeanne Loring, head of the Scripps stem cell program.

However, only one vote counts for the winner.  That vote belongs to UC Davis scientist Paul  Knoepfler. Knoepfler will weigh comments from his readers, but reserves the ultimate
decision.

Knoepfler expects to post more information on the selections sometime soon. You can advise him about your views through links on his Web site, The Niche.
