Buried in the article about tissue engineering was this tidbit:
But the lack of government interest heretofore may have been
a blessing in disguise. Gail Naughton, president of Advanced
Tissue Sciences Inc. (ATIS) of La Jolla, Calif., says that because
so little federal money was available, tissue engineers had little
choice in years past but to start a company and go public in order
to raise funds. ''I think that this field has moved so quickly
toward reality precisely because it spent very little time in
academic labs,'' she says.
Score one for honestly-funded science.
