Submission + - Easy to get multi use stem cells found
amigoro writes: "Scientists announced to the discovered a new and readily available source of stems cells and have used them to create muscle, bone, fat, blood vessel, nerve and liver cells in the laboratory.
The isolation of broad potential stem cells from the amniotic fluid that surrounds developing embryos was published today in Nature Biotechnology.
The potential to generate a broad range of mature cell types is why many scientists believe stem cells have promise to replace damaged cells and tissue in conditions such as spinal cord injuries, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and stroke."
