I think it means that stem cell research is approved of, that it is allowed to continue and maybe that it is seen as a good thing as well.

A "thumbs-up" sign sometimes mean to okay something, to agree to something being done(along with the meanings you wrote).
So, in your example, it means whoever agreed to/okayed stem cell research works

You mean "thumbs up"?
I use it when I want to say something is great. Definitely a sign of approval
e.g. The movie gets two thumbs up from me.
Just my 2 cents.
