Adult Stem Cells as an Alternative Source of Multipotential (Pluripotential) Cells in Regenerative Medicine

Abstract excerpt

Embryonic stem cells are by definition the master cells capable of differentiating into every type of cells either in vitro or in vivo. Several lines of evidence suggest, however, that adult stem cells and even terminally differentiated somatic cells under appropriate microenvironmental cues are able to be reprogrammed and contribute to a much wider spectrum of differentiated progeny than previously anticipated....
