Adult stem cells are a promising market Amid controversies over embryonic stem cell research, drugs using adult cells are already bearing fruit.

Adult stem cells, and not embryonic stem cells, are what all scientists in this field of research should be working on, says Dr. Peter Hollands. A renowned clinical scientist and researcher at the ...

Evidence of such an adult somatic stem cell has been provided recently by Jiang et al., 73 who isolated multipotent adult progenitor cells from bone marrow–derived cultured cells; the progenitor ...
