The political battle over medical use of embryonic tissue continues to rage, but out of the glare of the spotlight, scientists have been learning that some adult cells also hold vast treatment potential.
Many scientists view adult and embryonic stem cell research as complementary rather than competing disciplines because the cells differ enough that they are likely to offer distinct therapeutic options, according to a University of Florida neuroscientist who focuses on the adult variety.
But while the possibilities for adult stem cells were once thought to be sharply limited, recent discoveries suggest ...
